Stupid Pet Peeves

Huh? Please dont give me the speil that I am "wasting" my considerable talents by "just" being a kindergarten teacher. Heard it a million times already.

No, I'm thanking my lucky stars that I don't live by you so you can't teach my kindergarten aged kids.

Fair enough. I'm the first to admit that I'm not your typical kindergarten teacher. I expect a lot out of my kids, and their parents as well. A ton of teachers treat kindergarten as a glorified preschool. I consider myself as more of a "molder of young minds" than a teacher, however. I like to think that most of my students could skip 1st and go right on to 2nd grade when I'm done with them (some have).
 
Do you teach your K class to be Ute fans? Do you have a year-end pizza and keg party?

I usually invite one or two students a year (along with their parents) to come tailgaiting with me. We have root beer kegs and teach them how to do keg stands safely. This way by the time their 14 and ready for the real stuff, they know how to handle it and they can be an example to their peers. It's great fun and I recommend anyone with 6 or more children get their kids into a similar program as early as possible.

Their 14 what, teach?
 
Idiot homeowners who call me over to their house to work and either don't move stuff out of the area where I need to work (I always wonder if they want me to climb on their beds/entertainment centers/sofas), or move stuff into that area between times when I work there ("Hey that room is drywalled and painted, let's stack all the stuff in there and then call the electrician to come and install the plugs, switches, and lights we're going to bury").
 
This reminds me of one of mine. Road construction that takes place during rush hour. I mean, we can't do this **** during off-peak hours? After the evening rush hour?

All road construction on already constricted roads should be done at night.
