I have not stopped laughing since this came to my notice. At worse, I laugh just remembering this story “Why I stopped teaching Pre-School kids. It is not only annoying but Hilarious as well. Kind of a mixed feeling if you are a teacher, and you understand the stress that comes with such situations.
Why I stopped teaching Pre-School kids (Annoying & Hilarious)
At the school where I work, there is a little girl named Nancy. She is so cute and sweet.👼 Two months ago just before knocking off, I found her busy, trying to put on her shoes. 👢
I approached her, and offered to help her. It was such a torrid time. The boots seamed to be smaller than her size. It took me 5 minutes to help her wear them. When we were done, after making a steps away from her, she called me said “Teacher, you made me wear banana”. 🍌 When I looked at her shoes, to my embarrassment, I realised I had misplaced her shoes – the banana style. 😱
Upon trying to take off the shoes again, it took me 3 minutes. After struggling so much I eventually managed to remove them and tried putting them on again, this time the correct way. However, it was more difficult than the first time. When I finished, she said: “Teacher, these shoes are not mine!”
I really got angry, but since I work with little kids, I had to be patient and control my anger. I struggled to remove the shoes. I then asked Nancy where her own shoes were and this is what she said: “These shoes belong to my sister, my mum is the one who made me wear them in the morning today”. This time I boiled in anger. But since I always do my job perfectly and whole heartedly, I helped her to put on the shoes again. When we were done, Nancy pulled another shocker, yet again. “What about the socks, teacher?” she asked. I wondered whether I should laugh or cry. 😡 At that time, i was really sweating. Politely and swiftly I asked her, “Where are the socks Nancy?”
She innocently replied: “I shoved them in my shoes, they are in front of my toes”
I simply resigned and am now into farming!🤣
