Can't
You can't tell a teacher to tie your shoe
Because then they will think bad of you
You can't tell a teacher to stop talking
Because then they will begin balking
You can't tell a teacher that you have a cat
Because then they will want to steal that
But most of all you can't tell your teacher
That you want to learn something
Becaues then we all know
That you have become
The teacher's pet
