Heaven forbid I mention the name of the university where I teach (I already got in trouble for that one last year!), but today is my final day of classes. We still have finals and all that jazz, but this is it for official classes. I was here on a nine month position, and after this week I'm likely going to be the most overqualified barista at Starbucks in the local Pittsburgh area. However, I have to tell you this.
There are many reasons I don't teach preschool One of my top reasons: puke. That's right, I will clean up my pet's puke and, heck, even my family or friend's puke, but I refuse to clean up random kid puke. Today I learned that even avoiding preschool can't help you stay away from this problem. At freakin' 7:30 a.m., I had a student enter my office. She hiccupped and gagged a few words out before barfing all over my office. How many people do you think throw up at Starbucks in any given year?

Holy cow, that is disgusting! I'd say good riddance to that university! (Also, how ridiculous that they're mad you even mentioned their name!)
ReplyDeleteI will say, however, that I taught 4 & 5 year olds at a daycare for a couple of summers in college and, to me anyway, the poop is far worse than the puke. So at least no one had pooped in your office;)
