1. Don't peer into the classroom, the abyss of bored text messaging.
2. DO bring fresh coffee, flowers, extra Kleenex. For the teacher.
3. Don't stand at the front of the room with a digital device marking things wearing a frowny face.
4. DO bring cash.
5. Don't start talking to the STUDENTS. They will think the class is over only twelve minutes in.
6. DO ignore anything the students say that is negative. They do not think their teacher is hot, therefore, anything she does or says will be, "we don't learn anything in this class," and, "we don't know what we're supposed to do."
7. Don't mention the FUCKING Pacing Guide in your notes.
8. DO not write anything negative about your peer, even if she did not say hello to you in the hall that one time. Yes, she did flip you off when it looked like she was scratching her mole, shifting her glasses.
9. Don't forget to make some secret payments to your Peer Teacher's student loan balance as one of your many random acts of kindness so her parents don't have this burden when she dies.
10. DO pretend you are not related to the District Supervisor of Schools.
11. Don't forget what they say in The Secret--anything can be manifested, even learning.
