Power of a Teacher

This was forwarded by my husband's aunt. She was a retired teacher of a 1st to 3rd grade. She is such a wonderful aunt that even my daughter loved her so dearly. She is still a great teacher and every time she come down from Montana she reads, tell story and have there little lessons every time she babysit my daughter.

THIS IS PRICELESS!!
After being interviewed by the school administration, the teaching prospect said,
'Let me see if I've got this right:
'You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive
behaviour, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor
their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
' You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and
sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.
'You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and
fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.
You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behaviour,
and make sure that they all pass the state exams.
'You want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps,
and communicate regularly with their parents by letter, telephone, newsletter, and
report card.
'You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board,
a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.
You want me to do all this and then you have the nerve to tell me.................
'I CAN'T PRAY?!!!'
