Teachers are constantly saying how they had a horrible day at school. Angry kids, helicopter parents, unsupportive administration. I've heard it all. But here is something to help you all realize that you've never really had a bad day.
A friend of mine, in her first year of teaching in an average Chicago suburban high school, had the worst day I can imagine. A student, in the middle of her Physical Science class, hopped up on the desk, dropped his pants, and took a s**t on the lab table.
No contest.
I've never had a bad day.
Any other stories worth sharing to make us all feel better?
