Funny Bone
Joke of the Week
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
behavior, 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
behavior, 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
tell me... "I CAN'T PRAY?"

reference of another verb.
