Teaching is my passion, my life .... Submitted by a member
To all in NBPS~
I teach... it is my passion
My heart and soul I give
Sometimes it's never ending
But it is why I live
No money for the children
And not enough supplies
They retain fewer teachers
And increase classroom size
If children are our future
And they are to succeed
Why take from the most needy
With selfishness and greed
So now the new agenda
Consists of nothing more
Than Rigor, Testing, Rigor
You must teach Common Core
The children aren't progressing
And they know what's at fault
But let's just blame the teachers
Whose skills they must now halt
Demean us in the public
And make us look like fools
While we're so busy striving
They're ruining our schools
Use fear and retribution
On those who don't comply
It's loss of jobs or progress
Just make them choose a side
If still we do not cower,
They take it to the press
A full page ad should do it
With names that will impress
My fate has been decided
By how my kids perform
Regardless of my effort
It's now the "perfect storm"
But I won't cave to bullies
Without an ounce of proof
It's just another tactic
To try to hide the truth
Morale is still an issue
But let's make no mistake
Just throw in some semantics
And blame it on the state
I teach... it is my passion
My heart and soul I give
And no you cannot break me
I teach... that's why I live
