A Classroom Is Not the Same For Everyone

A classroom is a lonely place For a child who feels unloved and disrespected For a child who sees every sneer and whisper As a personal threat Thinking each one has her name on it A classroom is a torturous cell for a child Who has moved eight times, living with a Variety of relatives and foster parents. A child who hides that she cannot read or Write with behaviors that irritate every Teacher and so-called parent. A classroom is a marvelous teasing place For a child who has no friends, who is not Invited to parties, who is made fun of For her lack of knowledge. A classroom is Not the same for everyone. Teachers need to remember this.
