Here's one for you!

So school starts 2 weeks from today and I decided to go to my school and start organizing, cleaning and setting stuff up. I did not get dressed up for the occasion because I was going to be moving around and working hard so I was wearing jeans and had pulled my hair up in a ponytail. Lo and behold, registration was happening today! Not a big deal, I was not a part of it so I was not worried about how I looked. Well, I left my classroom in search of the secretary with a list of questions to ask her. I went into the main office and swung the door open to find at least a dozen students there helping with registration. I took one step into the room and a girl asked me, "What grade are you in?". I was completely caught off guard and put my hand up and said, "I am a teacher!" I can't even describe the faces I saw but I can tell you about the whispers I heard. From one, "She's a teacher?" Another, "What is she teaching?" And finally, "I heard there are 2 new P.E. teachers this year." I did not know whether to laugh or cringe. School has not even started yet and the students have mistaken me for being one of them. Should I be concerned whether or not they will take me seriously? I don't know. But I do know I will not wear my hair in a ponytail to school and next time I am going to tell them what I am teaching and do some recruiting for my class! =)
