We are a talkative family especially around the dinner table. Recently, we were having a discussion about what my darling husband wants to do when he leaves the Navy - whenever that may be. He's thinking very seriously about the Troops to Teachers program and has been researching it thoroughly. A couple nights ago he asked the kids what they thought about this idea. Their responses were interesting.
Overall, the boys were supportive. In one area they were unanimous. They all told their Dad "do NOT teach Middle school!" Patrick (our youngest) said to his Dad "They will kill you! They will cut off your nose and use it as a hackey sack! They will gouge out your eyes and use them for clackers! Middle school kids are horrible! Don't do it!" Matthew and Justin think their Dad should teach NJROTC since he's been in the military for so long. Plus, they think he'd be a good high school teacher. Daniel thinks his Dad would be a good teacher - just please do not be HIS teacher because that would "be weird". They all also agreed that Dad shouldn't teach Math. "You can't even help us with our homework," said Patrick. "So there's no way you can teach it." But, English and Social Studies/History (the areas my hubby is most interested in teaching) would be perfect.
Now to figure out when/if he's going to get out of the Navy, go thru the certification process and get hired. Nothing to it.... I think I need to drink another cup of coffee. I'm obviously delusional this afternoon. On to a really important question.....which flavor coffee to brew?? :)
