Life Is Not a Box of Chocs When Trying To Step Up

20 so plus teacher educator's Primed ready Standing like naughty school children in line Patiently awaiting castigation From the board , proud parent's and overlord's Who firmly believe they can do what they do only 20 time's better Never actually having done the job itself Or knowing what dedication or magnitude that job entails Who awaken daily realizing the teaching vocation they choose to follow Is in fact a thankless task made only hard When it is implied that the job they are doing By those who should in fact be trying and providing them with tool's in order to help them Are actually rather sabotaging them instead And has now left them pondering the question Why they even wanted or ever wished to get into teaching in the 1st place Because it certainly wasn't on the basis of financial renumeration More for the reward the satisfaction the job brings Seeing a child thrive and excell given they may just only be the only person In there life who actually support's and allows them to dream and believe they are achievable As sadly not every child comes from a loving happy home unfortunately And may need a push in the right direction in order to find there own self belief , confidence and inner voice So they may well 1 day in the not to distant future find themselves empowered enough To eloquently not only be able to speak for themselves They endear themselves and speak for the masses as well Deserving and reverant enough to bare the moto Poet of all the nation's people truly independent And most precious above all else willing to listen to both sides of any given story
