The Issue
Location
Dear Teacher
Who sits behind your desk
Prattling off on your phone
While we are taking a fucking test
You didn't give us the information
Beforehand
That's just fucked
Now I'm just praying
For just some good luck
How about going more in depth
And be more passionate?
Who would have thought classrooms were so fascist?
That a woman or man
Could have the audacity to make a student feel so low
"Questions are welcome!"
Well what about those
Who aren't getting your "lesson plan"
And can't get it wrapped around their heads
They ask for an explanation
But they get reprimanded instead
They get accused of not paying attention
Or disrespect
But you're teaching America's youth
And I think it's time to reflect
Upon the fact that sitting your classroom
Is a potential mother, father, worker, president and criminal,
Or how about the fact that some teacher's comments are so subliminal
Like when they look down a student's shirt
Or unnessary commentary?
Or comments that refer to something more domiciliary?
It's time we get together
And try to make better
Of a failing nation
And how about a standing ovation
To our upcoming generation
Of leaders and workers
And all in between
How about we work on fixing the fucked up education system
And start off clean
To educate, inspire and most importantly
To encourge students to be following their dreams.
