Highschool teacher's perspective:

Today was a day. First of all, no one needs to be bringing in dirt from outside! Why is it that when I work extra hard to clean the classroom up before school, other kids come along and make a mess! Secondly, why did they have to be playing soccer out in the rain? It’s pouring out and a kid sipped on the slick floors from all of the water and had to go to the nurses office! Thirdly, I caught two kids playing a game on their chromebooks! In the middle of a class! That’s not only unallowed at this school, but also very rude to be ignoring my teaching! After the morning classes, I went to go get my lunch, but I forgot it at home! I had to get something from the cafeteria vending machine! I was not happy about that since I had made my favorite lunch: a homemade Mac and cheese! The afternoon classes were no different! First, another kid slipped on the water. Secondly, we had a surprise fire-drill, right in the middle of me explaining how the essay would be evaluated! All of the students got upset that they had to do their essay as homework instead of classwork, especially since there was a big football game later that night. Thirdly, and finally, I thought, two kids got into a fight right outside of my classroom! Another teacher from down the hall and the Vice principal helped me break up the fight. After the longest, most troubled day of my life, I packed up my things and walked out of my classroom, and slipped on the water! I had to go to the nurse too. I hope tomorrow is different!
