Today's Rules At School

Today’s rules at school
Apply to all but one
He is not responsive
Making his own fun

Understanding his situation
The teacher caves, and he has won.
Other children begin acting crazy too
For it is not fair for only one.

Seeing him as her favorite,
They are quickly on the run.
Today’s rules at school 
Broken by everyone but one.

Hi Caren, it's good when the teacher is the pupil. It probably means you have a real calling. I do hope the class sees your class.

In fact this rule exists since the world is world ... Favorites stand out for merit or simple sympathy ... It's like falling in love with someone, it's natural ... BUT THE TEACHER SHOULD NOT SHOW IN PREDICTION .., HARD TASK,,,.   Great work dear Caren, salute alkas

...And they wonder why it's so hard to keep them all in line?! As usual, this makes SO much sense! Great writing, Soul Sister! ;)

If there is anything I like it is to make sense.

kids see when someone gets special treatment and i would think it would make then act out, although sometimes you have to pamper some of them to get them to behave...not an easy job i am sure....enjoyed this poem :)

It is a tough job, but when the crazy one is the favorite the whole class turns wild.
