Joke Title: Becoming a Teacher
Joke: 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, sports-
manship, fair play, how 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 anti-
social behavior, offer advice, write letters of recommendation,
even for 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, a big smile AND on a starting salary that qualifies
my family for food stamps!
"You want me to do all of this ...
and yet you expect me not to pray?"
