Money Rules Even At School
my school counseling curriculum
has been stepped on, rolled about,
kicked down the river.
designed to teach life skills
to students who need them,
I am not only limited to days, now times.
there will be a core time where I
will no longer be in the classrooms
proactive life skill steps no longer welcome
engaging in social interactions
to full satisfaction, being upstanders
not bullies or worse, bystanders, difficult
like art, music and p.e.
guidance is now taking a back seat.
Deemed as “other” no, we will be weeded out in the future.
I feel like an extinct dinosaur,
bellowing my truth, rolling my eyes
as I hear that we are doing this and that for students.
It is money folks
Pure and simple.
Money rules even at schools.
