Donuts, left over pizza, burnt popcorn, you name it. That was my exercise. Running down the stairs, looking frantically around, and devouring junk food as I ran back up the stairs to my class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159523698976676147.post-89947130383314394962008-04-16T23:43:00.000-07:002008-04-16T23:43:00.000-07:00This tongue-in-cheek look at a teachers life was j...This tongue-in-cheek look at a teachers life was just the right tonic I needed at the end of my teaching day. The tears of merriment just rolled down my face. I mean, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? <BR/><BR/>As an educator, you can get wrapped up in the serious issues that seem all important in your little world and forget that thing called humour. <BR/><BR/>There is a saying by Mario Andretti who says: 'If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.'<BR/><BR/>But I like this little story a colleague of mine told me last year.<BR/><BR/>A crow was sitting on a tree doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the corw and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"<BR/>The crow answered "Sure, why not?"<BR/>So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.<BR/>The moral of the story is:<BR/>To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very, high up.<BR/><BR/>Keep the stories coming!<BR/>I.HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
