A friend of mine sent me this through email.  I thought I would share.

The Teacher
After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective
 teacher 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 final exams.
 'You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless
 of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in
 English, Spanish or any other language, 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?

I'm so glad that we homeschool!

Blessings,
