#kindergartenproblems

Today's post is dedicated to all the kindergarten teachers busting their little butts off. 

The cute, the bad, and the ugly of kindergarten:

The Cute:

• Lots of hugs
• Tons of pictures/drawings saying, "BEST TEACHER EVER!" (many in which you have purple rock star hair)
• Many "I love you's"
• Hundreds of personal questions like, "What's your first name?," "Are you 50?," "Why is your hair so long?," "Is your hair orange?," or "Is that your real hair?" 
• Always getting complimented on your clothes, make-up, and hair

The Bad:

• Lots of squirmers
• Students always calling out your name over and over, until you acknowledge at them, no matter how many times you kindly remind them to raise their hand
• Having a whole class that needs to use the restroom, trying to take turns, and having some students take at least 7 minutes in the bathroom because they're playing with the water (while others can barely hold it)
• Asking students to raise their hand if they need their pencil sharpened and seeing 28 hands shoot into the air...
• ...then having to sharpen each pencil with a student's personal sharpener because the electric and hand crank sharpeners are both broken
• Having to basically be the mother/babysitter/ teacher of 24+ six year olds all at once

The Ugly:

• Having students cutting their hair
• Having students cutting other's hair
• Cleaning up pee
• Cleaning up poop
• The aftermath of a student learning that there are consequences to bad choices

Yeah....kindergarten teachers are definitely some of the toughest people out there. Thank you for all you do!
