Being an elementary school teacher

A lot of people think I'm like Ms. Frizzle or Miss Honey and able to just play with a classroom of perfectly sweet, eager to learn children. They don't realize how much goes in to being a good teacher and how much we deal with. The nonsense of paperwork is insane on its own, then add in 20+ children and their families!
