How I Feel About Lunch Duty
Lunch duty is never a delightful experience if you ask me.
Maybe if it is a bunch of children from kindergarten, second or first.
When it is fourth, fifth and sixth grade, a nightmare it can be.
If I was working in a middle school, I bet it might be worse.
The children are tired of talking not a whit throughout the day.
They have a difficult time getting themselves under control.
I have attempted to get their attention every which way.
They enjoy the atmosphere, while my eyes try not to roll.
I just had duty with another teacher who likes to play.
She gets them excited and happy and a bit louder I swear.
Then she wants them to shut down instantly her way.
It would be easier if I did duty alone, but do I dare?
