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
