Mom, Hubby and I were in the car talking about how he's liked his first year of teaching...
Hubby was saying he likes the teaching part, doesn't like the grading part... (ummm, duh... who likes the grading part?)
Mom's reaction was more or less to say that nursing is the same way, she likes the nursing part but doesn't like the wiping up dirty bottoms part.
So, grading is to teaching like wiping dirty bottoms is to nursing.
got it.

Never have truer words been blogged.
HAH! I like that!
Grading does seem separate from teaching, sometimes, though it shouldn't. Perhaps because most of us think of teaching as the actual classroom or office hour thing, rather than also including syllabus and class prep, writing assignments/exams, and, yes, alas, grading.
But I think it's easier than wiping bottoms.
What else do they have in common?
Bottoms and papers both spew poo.
Not that I'm tired of reading crappy papers or anything. :)
Ah, that's so perfect.
Wow. So what's the analogy compared to the teaching part?
