It is actually a big secret. We don't want anyone to know how we spend our days off.
Finding out would change your perspective. You might form a different opinion of your teacher.
So... Okay, I'll share a few secrets.
We like to sleep in. Teachers, most of us, are night owls. We stay up grading papers, writing & creating lessons, and worrying. Mornings are not our friend. Neither are alarm clocks. So, on breaks we shut off alarm clocks, close the blinds, and crash. We also do naps. Naps early in the day, after lunch, and afternoon. It takes a lot of dream-time to recharge a teacher!
We don't do school. Really. We don't grade papers or look at lessons or check email... until the night before school starts again. Then we think about how we should have worked on lessons or checked email sooner or finished grading pre-Christmas assignments. But.... Well, we have good intentions, really we do.
We spend time with friends and we tell funny stories and laugh - loudly- and stay up late and eat too much and act like we're goofy kids. People look at us funny and wonder what we're saying. They look at our clothing - very casual and comfy- and wonder what we do and why we're not dressed for work.
On break teachers don't care. We don't care what we look like. We don't care what people think or say. We don't care what work is done or not done. We don't care about diets or exercise. We just mentally go on vacation and enjoy our vacation as much (or more) than our students.
Get ready for snow!
