10 Things That Happen to Teachers Every January

It's a new year! For most people, that means a fresh start, a clean slate to make healthy life changes and plan all the good things you will do over the next 12 months. But for teachers, January means back-to-school. And back-to-school brings a whole bunch of emotions. Here's an idea of the classic teacher life during the month of January. Happy New Year everyone!

1. Writing the wrong year when putting the date on the board every day...
