What's a fun little 'perk' of teaching at your grade level? I'll often be working with a student, then without warning, they open mouth sneeze right in my face. Happened to me three times this week alone. It keeps my immune system on its toes.

Getting cursed out by 13 year olds is fun. But what’s really fun is getting yelled at by their parents because I wrote their kids up.

A fun sped perk is that when I’m with my crew in my classroom they are much more comfortable being their silly selves and spill ALL the tea about anyone and everyone and have zero boundaries when it comes to telling me if they have to take a poop - also zero embarrassment about farting 😂

First, wth? I work with students that ask many of the same questions each day. I've learned patience.

My fun perk of teaching is when students bring in their class projects and I give them 2 cool choices for rewards: pick something from the class treasure box or choose a tasty treat!! Most students will pick a tasty snack!!

I work with alternative kids. I get to meet and interact with a lot of outside people with titles: Psychologist, Social Worker, Truancy Officer, Probation Officer, Resource Officer, etc. I ran into one at a local restaurant and introduced him to my spouse: “Honey, this is one of my probation officers.” Which got me weird looks from other friends at the next table.

Them sitting on my lap unprompted as if I’m a couch or chair-no look back or ask just plop into my lap 😄

My fun little perk teaching 6th grade Literature is that when I’m having a tough day, they can read, from their classroom novel, or their own book for their quarter project. This allows me to get caught up on grading, or computer stuff. Same with PSSA testing days.
