I was waiting nervously for news of my pink IC when I randomly googled my friends and found this. (There's a big hiccup as they did not collect my IC as the whole freaking world except me forgot that I was going to ORD)

Teachers
Copied this from somewhere:

You Might Be a Schoolteacher if...

* you have no time for a life from August to June.
* you want to slap the next person who says, "Must be nice to work from 8 to 3 and have your summers free!"
* when out in public you feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behavior.
* you refer to adults as "boys and girls."
* you encourage your spouse by telling them they are a "good helper."
* you've ever had your profession slammed by someone who would never dream of doing your job.
* meeting a child's parents instantly answers the question, "Why is this kid like this?"
* you believe "extremely annoying" should have its own box on the report card.
* you know hundred good reasons for being late.
* you don't want children of your own because there isn't a name you can hear that wouldn't elevate your blood pressure.

And added this on my own:

You must be a school teacher in Singapore if...
* you have no time for a life from January to November.
* you have to work from 7 to 6 (sometimes you even have to bring work home) and it is summer throughout the year.
* you are familiar with numerous acronyms such as PW, PSLE, TRAISI, CCA, PEARLS, SPA, PSG, COMPASS, ExCEL, I&E, etc.
* you probably don't know your boss's full name.
* if you're a Science teacher, you'd be in a fix because you're wondering how to Integrate Natural Science And National Education. (INSANE)
* you have had to grapple with the frequent changes in curriculum and policies.
* you're planning either a career path in the teaching/specialist/leadership track or looking for a new job already.
* you make a blog post like this and wonder if you'll get into trouble with the ministry (but since what I've written is not derogatory but just a way of having harmless fun by laughing at myself, so it should be safe)
* you're enjoying the 0.4 month mid-year bonus + $200 extra!
