Dear teachers,
Do not frown
When some of your students are not honor bound
There is something that needs to be inferred
When it comes down to learning
Students learn in a varying pace
This is something that you need to embrace
That not all students can be first strings
In learning all things
Even if you think that your students brains are teeny weeny
They might even surprise you like the famous escape artist, Houndini
The purpose of a teacher is to teach well
To minors
Even if they’re such whiners
You do this because you want them to excel
However, if a student continues to fail
Do not wail
This could mean that your teaching style isn’t working
(Pardon me, if this comment hurts you like getting a piercing)
Or the student isn’t willing to put the effort
This doesn’t mean that change will be inert
Although students may have forgotten what they learned
They must know that education cannot be adjourned
Some may or may not agree
Nor guarantee
That repetition is the best way to learn
Clearly, when students had to learn their ABC’s
That lesson never did cease
Because the ABC’s are engraved into their minds
It is hard to go back and rewind
And forget
Now identifying letters is no longer a sweat
When back then, recollecting the ABC's use to be terrible as playing Russian roulette
According to the common quote “Practice makes perfect”
Don’t object
This can make you into an intellect
As stated before, when students go onto their summer break
Their memory becomes opaque
What teachers should do
Is instead of introducing something brand-new
But to do a switcheroo
And review
Ensuring that every student gets it
Even if they throw a fit
Every year, teachers should review for a period of time
All in good time
Teachers will see test scores rising
Instead of declining
Every lesson should be ingrained
Into students brains
For then they won’t forget
Instead of breaking into cold sweat
When taking a major test
The goal in getting a good grade will no longer be a quest
After students demonstrate their steadiness in lessons
Learning something new won’t be hard to take in
For it is within
Teacher and students
To not be discontent
But to be willing to change
Even if it looks out of range
For effort only releases its reward, after a person refuses to quit.
From,
Student
