Teaching is a funny kind of job

Teaching is a funny job, and I don't mean funny as much as I mean different. People put them selves thorough all kind of hoops to get an interview , every thing from the Praxis test to education classes that some times seem to have been designed to have as little real world application as possible and to last forever.  Then when you get to an interview you set through questions that often  range from pointless to absurd.  They ask people who have never spent one day in a classroom about  our educational philosophy, as if we could possibly have any idea.  They ask questions about situations so ridiculous that you can't image they will happen to YOU, but they will.  People who are all ready teachers aren't exactly encouraging, from the ones who don't teach any more because they hated it to the ones who hate it but still do, out of some perverse desire to make as many people as unhappy as possible.  When I see some of my colleagues walk down the hall I swear if I squint just right I can see the black cloud of doom that follows them from place to place, touching every person in their wake students and faculty alike.  I can even read their minds; twenty thousands dollars in debt for this, god two more days till Friday,  these kids are so bad now no respect like when I was younger I blame the parents, I wonder what movie we should watch to day, I hate kids.  The problem is the kids can read it to.  The kids are the really strange component of teaching they don't pay attention, they don't study, they don't turn in home work, they don't, they don't, they don't.  Then for reasons I can only surmise have to do with witch craft or the end of days  they DO.  They study, they read, they listen, they understand, they write better, they think better  they leave you notes telling you that they will study harder and get better grades they DO, And at the end of the day you think twenty thousand isn't that much, the Praxis wasn't that bad, the education classes aren't THAT long and even old I hate every thing and every body isn't that bad.  All because a class of fifteen year old children learned how to write a better open response, funny.
