You Might Be A Teacher's Kid If...

As the daughter of a small town kindergarten teacher, you have a unique school experience. You know the ins and outs of the school system and get a different view of the struggle that is teaching.

The few, the proud, the teacher's kids. Here are 14 signs you might be a teacher's kid.

You might be a teacher's kid if...

1. You Arrive Early and Leave Late.

No sleeping in! You are always the first one at school and last to leave because your mom is your ride, and she has to be there.

2. Your Homework Was Done At School.

You never had "homework" because you did your homework sitting in your parent's classroom after school.

3. You Knew How To Operate The Laminator, Copier, and Die Cut Machines at an Early Age.

From the time your parent could trust you, you were laminating, die cutting, and making copies almost daily.

4. Your Mom Knew All The Gossip

She might never reveal her sources, but she always knew who Suzie was dating and what Marco tweeted during 3rd hour.

5. Your Mom Always Knew When You Were In Trouble Before You Could Even Tell Her.

My sister is a prime example of this. One day a teacher sent her out into the hall and my mom heard about it within what seemed like minutes. You could never get away with anything.

6.You Couldn't Slack On Any Project, EVER.

Your 1st grade leaf project was laminated and in pristine condition. Your projects always had die cut shapes and were perfectly painted. You couldn't slack if you tried.

7. People Thought You Had It Easy.

Actually this is a complete lie. Teacher's kids have so much more pressure to succeed and be good students. All eyes are on you. Your actions also reflected on your mom. And you didn't want to disappoint her.

8. You Can't Go to Wal-Mart With Your Mother

She will have to stop to talk to parents, current students, previous students, and other friends she's picked up along the way. You just need shampoo? Plan for a two hour trip.

9. You Scored All The Teacher Gifts She Didn't Want

Candles, candy, stuffed animals, and other odds and ends. My personal favorite: Starbucks gift cards.

10. People Know You As, "Mrs. Whoever's Daughter."

"Oh! You're Mrs. Schooley's daughter!" "Yes...and you are?"

Story. Of. My. Life.

11. You Know Other Teachers On A Personal Level.

You're basically BFF's with all the teachers. You know them by their first names and can ask about their families.

12. The Lessons Didn't Stop At Home.

You never really stopped learning. You were always being taught something, whether it was an educational lesson, or a life lesson.

13. You Know How To Set Up A Classroom.

You've helped set up your mom's enough times, you basically have it down to a science. The desks only fit one way, these borders go on this wall, and the ticket chart goes on the closet door.

14. You Feel A Special Connection To Other Teacher's Kids.

You have a bond with them that others just don't understand. You can laugh about "teacher's kid probs" and feel like a small secret gang.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
