1. They disappear after 8:30 p.m.
2. There will be laminate everywhere. Constantly.
3. So much crying.
4. You’ll both be sick every two weeks.
5. You get to help them grade the kids' homework.

Beware of the "teacher voice" whenever you do something wrong.
Having to be up at 5 a.m. means they’ll have a very different sleep schedule than you.
And you’ll also have the added perk of helping cut out laminated posters, name tags, flyers, letters, and so much more!
When they come home after having their classroom destroyed by a 7-year-old yet again, be prepared with some mac 'n' cheese.
All it takes is for one mom to send their kid to school with pink eye, and your teacher will be faced with the fifth epidemic of the quarter.
On the plus side, your single-digit addition and subtraction skills will be resume-worthy.
Kids will never fail to surprise, amaze, and mostly confuse you with the things they say and do.
Get used to always trying to motivate your teacher. Not only do they need and deserve constant support for what they do, they’ll also appreciate you being there for them.
“Do you think that was a good decision?” “If you can’t be quiet during my show, you’ll have to practice being quiet during YOUR free time later.”
No matter what name you suggest, you’ll be met with the classic “ohhhh I had a kid in my class named Timmy once” followed by an empty stare into the distance.
Suddenly the laminate will be gone, the house will be cleaned, and they can be found relaxing by the pool from sunup to sundown.
