Teacher Survival Kit for Men

I just wrote a teacher survival kit post that was geared towards women and got asked what I would put in a kit for men. So here you go!

First, you need to choose a bag!

After choosing the bag I needed to decide what items need to be in said bag.

I have polled my male teacher friends and here is what I have found out:

Tissues

Tissues, the good kind, are in high demand.

Band Aids

The amount of paper cuts that teachers get is just ridiculous so you should definitely put in some fun band aids!

Change

Who doesn't need change for an emergency soda or snack?

Chapstick

I am always losing chapstick...I think everyone does! So I am going to keep a stick in my survival kit!

Gum/Mints

Need I explain?

Pain reliever

This is a necessity in ANY teacher's life!

Travel Lint roller

Animal hair, chalk, children all seem to gravitate towards my clothes like nobody's business!

Stomach relief

Better safe than sorry!

Stain Remover

Oh how I crave this whenever I don't have it!

Duck Tape

Duck tape can fix anything!

Beef Jerky

in need of a protein boost?

Dental floss

Self explanatory

Double Headed Screwdriver

Always comes in handy!

WD-40

Fixes what duck tape cannot

Zip Ties

Men are always asking me if I have these

Batteries

and these

Granola Bar

Same premise as the beef jerky

5 hour energy

We all could use this....all the time

Short Stories from a Middle School Teacher: Gold Stars

Gold Stars One of my favorite things to do my third year of teaching was team teach. The Civics and Economic teacher and I would put our classes together regularly so we could create cross curricular stations and activities for the kids. The arrangement worked out great because, even though there were more kids in the room, the kids were less willing to act up with two authority figures in the room. One day the Civics teacher’s side of the room was going downhill and fast, while my side of the room was behaving like angels. Finally, he called out, “Whoever is being good will get a gold star!” (Amazingly 8th graders coveted these stars like none other). The room got completely silent and without missing a beat one of the students on my side of the room said, “You mean like Hitler did to the Jewish people?” I suppressed my laughter and thought to myself, “Yes, finally they are retaining true things about WWII!” Then I thought to myself, “Too bad I don’t teach history.”
