Education

Signs of summer dwindling away show themselves Yellow buses exclaim school is in session Children no longer fill the parks through the day Parents breathe a sigh Teachers prepare great lessons to mold young minds Eyes wide with wonder at what they discover At three the bell rings and hastily they go Home or to practice I sigh a big sigh and smile for the thoughtful Insights of my students throughout the quick day I breathe deeply and prepare for tomorrow To do it again. I wouldn’t change my career choice for the world. There is a lot of dumb politics involved With pay and contracts and appeasing parents But it is worth it!

Linda, an amiable profession that sadly is not given its righteous due. I hope that the teaching profession is nobly recognized and justly compensated. A wondrous writ my friend, with my compliments, Aloha!

Teachers are clearly needed so politicians can learn that after they cancel classroom teaching, school bus drivers must find another way to earn their living and may not be available when classroom teaching is restored! Aloha! Rico
