Teachaholics Anonymous (Well, not so anonymous)

"My name is Michelle and I am a teachaholic," I admitted on Twitter the other day. They say the first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem. Anyone else willing to own up to their "addiction"?

What are the signs that you MIGHT be a teachaholic? Let's make this the equivalent to Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck..." shtick.

Have fun!

If you spend more than an hour in the school supply aisle ANY time of the year,
you might be a teachaholic.

OR if you RETURN to school at 8:30 (after your own kids are in bed) and stay until midnight,
you might be a teachaholic.

Aren't you scared to go back to school at night, in the dark? I'm such a big wimp, I don't like to there after dark at all...http://www.classroom20.com/group/elementaryreadingteachers/forum/to...

guilty as charged- every year. We don't get too much though $100.00 it sure doesn't go a long way!

If you keep anything remotely tacky looking (seasonal sweaters, ear rings, decorations, etc) JUST because, "The CHILDREN think it's cute,"
you might be a teachaholic.
