The  6 Phases of  Teaching

Phase  1

You are  listening to jazz

Your first day  at work is great. Your fellow teachers are  wonderful, your classroom is cute, you love your  students, and your principal is the  best!

Phase  2

You are listening  to pop music

After a while you are  so busy that you are not sure if you're coming  or going anymore.

Phase  3

You are listening  to heavy metal

This is what you  feel like after ONE month.

Phase  4

You are listening  to hip hop

 You become bloated due  to stress, you're gaining weight due to lack of  exercise because you are so tired and have so  much school work to do when you get home, you  feel sluggish and suffer from constipation. Your  fellow teachers are too cheerful for your  liking and the walls of your classroom are  closing in. You have started thinking 'WHATEVER'  about your principal.

Phase  5

You are listening  to GANGSTA RAP

 After more time  passes, your eyes start to twitch, you forget  what a 'good hair day' feels like as you just  fall out of bed and load up on caffeine.

Phase  6

You  are listening to the
voices in your head

You have lock your classroom door to  keep people out, You wonder WHY you are even  here in the first place and WHY did I become a  teacher!
