I've never heard anybody say "it's not my job" as much as my wife's teacher friends do. You're a teacher, just because you normally teach 4th grade doesn't mean you won't get asked to help out with 5th grade when Susan gets in a car wreck.

I think what makes my blood boil with teachers is getting a peek behind the curtains and finding out that they do in fact have their favorites and kids that they loathe. Of which they will perform all sorts of mental gymnastics as to why they treat those kids the way that they do, doing everything in their power to make the kids lives that they hate more miserable but then turn around and say that it’s “all for the kids” without a hint of irony.
