Who Says Teachers Don't Pray?

Author unknown (borrowed from âArizona Humorâ) After being interviewed by the school administration, the eager teaching prospect said: "Let me see if I've got this right. You want me to go into that room with all those kids and fill their every waking moment with a love for learning. And I'm supposed to instill a sense of pride in their ethnicity, modify their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse and even censor their T shirt messages and dress habits. You want me to wage a war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, check their backpacks for weapons of mass destruction, and raise their self esteem. You want me to teach them patriotism, good citizenship, sportsmanship, and fair play, how and where to register to vote, how to balance a checkbook, and how to apply for a job. I am to check their heads for lice, maintain a safe environment, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, offer advice, write letters of recommendation for student employment and scholarships, encourage respect for the cultural diversity of others, and, oh yeah, always make sure that I give the girls in my class 50 percent of my attention. My contract requires me to work on my own time after school and evenings grading papers. Also, I must spend my summer vacation at my own expense, working toward advance certification and a Master's degree. And on my own time you want me to attend committee and faculty meetings, PTA meetings, and participate in staff development training. I am to be a paragon of virtue, larger than life, such that my very presence will awe my students into being obedient and respectful of authority. And I am to pledge allegiance to family values and this current administration. You want me to incorporate technology into the learning experience, monitor web sites, and relate personally with each student. That includes deciding who might be potentially dangerous and/or liable to commit a crime in school. I am to make sure all students pass the state mandatory exams, even those who don't come to school regularly or complete any of their assignments. Plus, I am to make sure that all of the students with handicaps get an equal education regardless of the extent of their mental or physical handicap. And I am to communicate regularly with the parents by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card. All of this I am to do with just a piece of chalk, a computer, a few books, a bulletin board, and a big smile AND on a starting salary that qualifies my family for food stamps! You want me to do all of this, and you expect me NOT TO PRAY?" Â© Wake Up With the Wolf Show â 93.1 the Wolf â WPAW.Â Please share this with your friends!

By Nathan Stutte, Source Unknown Friendship is a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust Love is when you feel like you are the only two around Friendship is when they gaze into your eyes and you know they care Love is when they gaze into your eyes and it warms your heart Friendship is being close even when you are far apart Love is when you can still feel their hand on your heart when they are not near Friendship is hoping that they experience the very best Love is when you bring them the very best Friendship occupies your mind Love occupies your soul Friendship is knowing that you will always try to be there when in need Love is when you will give up everything to be at their side Friendship is a warm smile in the winter Love is a warming touch that sends a pulse through your heart Love is a beautiful smile to which nothing compares A tender laugh, which opens your heart A single touch that melts away your fears A smell that reminds you of the tenderness of heaven A voice that reminds you of the innocence of youth Friendship can survive without love Love cannot live without friendship Â© Wake Up With the Wolf Show â 93.1 the Wolf â WPAW.
