Look familiar, teachers?


Teaching vs. Prison

Just in case you ever got the two mixed up, this should make things a bit

clearer.



IN PRISON: You spend the majority of your time in a room with 1 other

person who doesn't want to cooperate.

AT SCHOOL: You spend the majority of the time in a room with 20-30

children who don't want to cooperate.

>

IN PRISON: You get three free hot meals a day.

AT SCHOOL: You only get one meal, you pay for it and you get to wait in

line for the microwave to heat it, so you can have about 3 1/2 minutes

left to eat it.



IN PRISON: You get time off for good behavior.

AT SCHOOL: You get more work for good behavior.



IN PRISON: The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.

AT SCHOOL: You must open all the doors for yourself while balancing all

the papers you took home to grade.



IN PRISON: You can watch TV and play games.

AT SCHOOL: You get fired for watching TV and playing games.



In PRISON: You get your own toilet.

In SCHOOL: You have to share your bathroom with some idiot who tinkles on

the seat.



In PRISON: They allow your family and friends to visit

At SCHOOL: You can't even speak to your family on the phone because you

are usually too busy taking care of someone else's family.



IN PRISON: The taxpayers pay all expenses with no work required.

AT SCHOOL: You get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they

deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.



IN PRISON: You must deal with sadistic wardens.

AT WORK: They are called administrators


Have a Great Day Teaching and THANK YOU for doing it!

I think there is one that was not included

In Prison: you have the chance for Parole because you don't really want to be there - Parole consists of a vacation away from prison until you get caught again

At School: You don't have time for vacation because you are busy trying to figure out how to pay the bills on the pitance that you get payed because you want to teach and come back to school next year - vacation consists of working whatever job you can find so that you can go back to what you really want to do next year...
