"You Know You Are a High School Teacher When ...‪"‬

Within these pages the reader will find the mostly true ramblings, mid-life musings, and occasional opinion offerings of a secondary teacher. Teachers of teenagers might resonate with the stories, future teachers might gain insight before entering the classroom, and non-teachers might get a glimpse into the classified life of a certified teacher. Hopefully, all readers will find humor and hope. All stories are based on actual events, but all names and some details have been altered for literary purposes and for the protection of the innocent, as well as the author’s widening posterior. After all, the author would like to retire someday, not be fired tomorrow, and definitely not end up on the news tonight.
