Guest Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I was looking for some insirational words about teaching or a funny poem to take in for the first week back-does any body know any or have a link to a website with this kind of thing? I thought it would be good to put up on the staffroom wall or in the toilet!! I have a vauge memory of a joke about Jesus sitting around with his disciples but the words had been changed to include all the millions of things teachers have to do. I also had a mug once (which is now smashed )which listed all the jobs-EG SOCIAL WORKER, NURSE, ADMINISRATOR, POET, ACTOR.....ETC ETC and finished with BUT YOU CAN JUST CALL ME A TEACHER!! It can be quite easy to fall into the trap of being negative about the job but its such a fantastic job really that we have to keep our spirits up and focus on the positives (especially as its September!) Enjoy the first week! Thanks a lotXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 The Alberg collection " Please Mrs Butler" might have something although aimed at children! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I've seen that site before, and it's a great one isn't it? Definately one to make you smile I think I shall print some of it off and take it into work, what with our INSET tomorrow being on preparing for OFSTED!

Beau Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 If you want something a bit more mushy (and American! ) then give this one a whirl! http://www.pickens.k12.sc.us/hesteachers/l...inspiration.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Oh Carol, yes it's mushy (just what we've come to expect from American's) but 'The Teacher' was so sad and thought provoking. I'm sure we've all known a child like that, scruffy, a bit smelly, a bit 'odd'. It certainly makes you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Thanks, cheesy stuff is good sometimes! that story about the boy whose mum had died was really sad but inspiring. I liked the bit about her quitting teaching reading and writing and starting teaching children. thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
