11 Goofs made by some Teachers

 Teachers are just like anyone else and we all goof up once in a while.

In my very first teaching job, I worked in a portable.  I dealt with special needs kids, learning

disabled students and English as a Second language kids.  I was cleaning out the teacher

desk so I could organize my things.  There was a small compartment at the back of the

bottom right drawer  I finally got the divider out to see what was behind it.  I pulled out an

object and realized it was a liquor flask.  Some of the students said, "That is Mrs. S's

medicine bottle."  Apparently, she told the students she got migraines  and would need to

take a slug of her medicine to get rid of them .  I told them  since she was retired she probably

 wouldn't need it anymore or maybe she left it for me.  LOL

More times than not, teachers would rush off to school in  a hurry, having forgotten something.

A good friend of mine rushed into the staff room and taking off her coat, she was saying  "thank

God, I made it just before the bell."   Compassionate as we all were, we started laughing and said

'you need to go back home. You forgot your skirt."  Here she had her shirt and a slip on, but

apparently her skirt was still on the ironing board.  It sure was funny to tell our male principal that she

 went home because she forgot something and he would have to cover her kindergarten class till she 

got back in about  forty minutes.  "Well what was so important that she had to go home" he said.

We all yelled out--Her skirt.  He just said "Oh'"

Some lady teachers will wear panty hose under a skirt  without a pair of panties.  If they do, then they

 should make certain their butt is covered when they enter their classroom. I caught one teacher coming

out of the washroom and her skirt was tucked in at the waist band. I called and said "stop for a

 minute."  She said "I don't have time."  I caught up to her and said "you better take the time to cover

 your ass." OMG, she was so embarrassed.  Slow down, be prepared and make sure you are wearing

matching shoes, matching socks, your shirt is buttoned correctly and all your curlers are out of your

 hair.  And women please check to see that your lipstick is not all over your teeth. Have a good day!!

  #18--My Specials     It takes 3 to Drive a Truck Joy Driving in a truck was on the agenda for three of my special male students one day at lunchtime. Apparently, the supervision of our students was lack this day. Someone left their truck idling in the school parking lot.  My three students decided to get in and see if they could go for a drive.    Dan, Will, and Seth worked together. No one saw them leave.  Dan did the steering. Will got close to the floorboards and worked the brake and Seth worked the gearshift.  They drove out of the parking lot and  managed to get three blocks down the main road.  Then they turned down an alley before they drove through some guys' fence, his garden and into the corner of his garage.  So I am having a quiet stress free lunch til I hear on the all-call intercom "Mrs. MacLeod come to the office immediately."  End of my lunch, oh boy what now!! In the office I see my three students, the p...

 Blog #17 My Specials-----Where are they now? In working over 50 years in Education and Counselling, I remember the joy and sadness I experienced working with "my specials" at a Regina, High School.  I worked two years in a  program for Special Needs students aged 15 to 21.  In my second year, I was in charge of 26  students, a half-time EA, a work experience staff member and three part-time staff doing  lessons in Typing, Music, Foods, Library and Art.  I had 17 students in my class and the other teacher had 9 students. She didn't have a teaching license ,so I was to mentor her.  I will change  the names of my students, but I do wonder how they are doing all these years later.     In my class, I had four students with brain injuries and mobility issues.  All injuries were from accidents. Will got bucked off a horse and hit his head on a rock.  Dan  was hit in a  crosswalk, flew high in the air and on a cement si...

#12 Retirement- - What is retirement and who is retired?

 Retirement-- What is that? Well friends, I hate the  expression " I am so busy, I have no time for anything". However that seems to be true. Somehow 2 years have flown by and even though I officially retired June 2020, I am still working.  I have to say I have always loved working with people - age 5 to whatever, it does not matter. It has been 51 1/2 years since I started teaching. I have worked in Saskatchewan, B.C. and Alberta. I have  always explored many different areas of teaching and counselling. So many memories. Some good some bad. I always say stories can be sad, mad , bad and glad.   Positions I have held: vary from Grade 1 to Grade 12, split/combined regular classes, special    needs (disabled, mental and physical handicapped ages 5 to 21), Learning disabled, English  Second Language Learners, Drop Outs and Street students coming with addictions or Court ordered with jail records, University courses for Teachers on Teaching Speci...
