an elementary school teacher.
I was better with the 8 and 9 year olds. The 12 year olds were too cool for me. They didn't respect me. Not that the 8 /9 year olds respected me that much .
Anyway, I have this distinct memory of the kids I taught. when they reached grade 6 or 12 years of age, they looked down on me. "Oh here comes that dag Mr. Humourless. What a loser." That's my interpretation now but I think it pretty accurate. They probabaly thought to themselves "how did I even entertain the thought Mr.Humourless might be a good or cool or even interesting teacher! I must have been blind and stupid and totally naïve."
Just one of he reasons I don't miss teaching.
