Love Praying For My Students At Community Colleges

I Midterm exams are here, and I want to pause O no, can't do that, unless I pause to pray They are young and retired folks, too, studying Various courses, to brighten the way And lighten the load of far too few bosses hiring Folks for long-term positions, or jobs with dignity ... So, I must intercede with the Lord for those studying II They have much to overcome, too much on their plates I do not test too often, but one good midterm reveals To me if these candidates will exert, will seek grades Better than the first test or two: that is all I need revealed So I may write recommendations with a clear conscience He or she is a fine person, willing to try, to improve Education is such a catch 22: big promises, big profits For the book companies, testing industry, Blackboard And its competitors. (May I say, I hate all the multiple choice options, that nit-pick through chapters). Catch a concept, my advice
