After finishing a week of student-led conferences (parent-teacher interviews), I realized that many teachers might be feeling the same way as me. I put together a little list of “success criteria” for you to reference if you need to make sure you are really a teacher.
Criteria # 1 – You might be a teacher if your PVR/TIVO has more shows on it that you could possibly watch in one or two sittings (this is only page one of many).
Criteria # 2
You might not leave your items in their proper location. Who needs a jewelry box when the kitchen counter is much more convenient?
Criteria # 3
You leave piles of marking around your house: on the breakfast counter, the kitchen table, the coffee table.
Criteria # 4
You have piles of unopened books and magazines waiting for a long weekend or holiday break to be read.
Criteria # 5
You leave your lunch box, school bag and other bags on the first surface you meet when you get home.
Criteria # 6
You take photos with your phone of things you need to purchase …. for your classroom.
Criteria # 7 – You have been guilty of using your teacher’s voice outside of the classroom. My husband has been known to say to me “Don’t use your teacher’s voice on me.”

I always leave items in the wrong spot! The bad thing for me is that when I am at home my 2 year old twins aren't quite as adept at finding where I left them as my 2nd graders are!!!

Too funny! I can relate with everyone of those!!!
This is so me through and through. Live your teaching book bag! Mine is dying and I may need to replace. Where is your's from?
Yep! You should turn this into a linky party! I have nearly identical pictures, and I'm sure I could find even more things to link up (the stack of papers to grade, the home "stash" of supplies to take to school – just in case, the box of goodies for co-workers who do nice things to randomly thank them, the little trinkets to give out to students, and the list goes on…)
YUP. – EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
Thanks for posting- this is so me! I'd also like to add that all my co-workers and I agree we have become addicted to reality t.v. for the "brain-break" factor!

This is hilarious! I thought the jewelry thing was just me. The second I come in the house, I start taking it off.
