After being interviewed by the school administration, the teaching
prospect said, 'Let me
see if I've got this right:

You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their
disruptive behavior, observe
them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their
T-shirtmessages, and instill in them a
love for learning.

You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and
sexually transmitted
diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.

You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship
and fair play, and how to
register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.

You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of anti-social
behavior, and make
sure that they all pass the state exams.

You want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their
handicaps, and
communicate regularly with their parents by letter, telephone, newsletter,
andreport card.

You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a
bulletinboard, a few books,
abig smile.

You want me to do all this and then you tell me.......

I CAN'T PRAY?'
