The children had all been photographed for school pictures, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, he's a doctor.'"
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's teacher; she's dead."

Early one morning, a mother went in to wake up her son. "Wake up, son. It's time to go to school!"
"But why, Mom? I don't want to go."
"Give me two reasons why you don't want to go."
"Well, the kids hate me for one, and the teachers hate me, too!"
"Oh, that's no reason not to go to school. Come on now and get ready."
"Give me two reasons why I should go to school."
"Well, for one, you're 42 years old. And for another, you're the Principal!"

A young man died and went to Heaven, where he was the third person in line at the Pearly Gates. An angel was admitting the newly arrived into Heaven. Trying to get a little more strict with the admission policies, the angel said they each had to state their former occupations and yearly salaries.
The first man in line said, "I was an actor and I earned $13 million last year." The angel ushered him in.
The woman behind him said, "I earned $1,500,000 last year as an barrister." The angel thought about it for a moment, then ushered her in as well.
The young man moved up to the gates. "I only earned $18,000 last year..." he began.
"Oh," the angel interrupted, "and what subject did you teach?"

and a classic for all the teacher bashers:
"If there are any idiots in the room, will they please stand up" said the sarcastic teacher.
After a long silence, one student rose to his feet.
"Now then mister, why do you consider yourself an idiot?" enquired the teacher with a sneer.
"Well, actually I don't," said the student, "but I hate to see you standing up there all by yourself."

A mom and dad were worried about their son not wanting to learn math at the school he was in, so they decided to send him to a Catholic school. After the first day of school, their son comes racing into the house, goes straight into his room and slams the door shut. Mom and dad are a little worried about this and go to his room to see if he is okay. They find him sitting at his desk doing his homework. The boy keeps doing that for the rest of the year. At the end of the year the son brings home his report card and gives it to his mom and dad. Looking at it they see under math an A+.
Mom and dad are very happy and ask the son, "What changed your mind about learning math?"
The son looked at mom and dad and said, "Well, on the first day when I walked into the classroom, I saw a guy nailed to the plus sign at the back of the room behind the teacher's desk and I knew they meant business."
:hihi

I considered starting a new thread for this...but this thread may just do. As a new graduate, I'm not sure I fit the category of 'PRE teacher' as technically I don't start till Jan 31...but I am qualified!!
SO, my question to all you PRE teachers is...what is your best advice for a first year out teacher? (Non teachers...feel free to contribute suggestions here...)

Respect and boundaries, a 2 way street.
Welcome to the profession CB, much maligned but rewarding in it's way.
Oh and you'll need a thick skin 'cause everyone and his dog thinks it's an easy job with holidays forever. (Which begs the question if it's that easy why are people not busting their britches to become teachers?)
