Premium MemberEveryone Needs Someone Sometime

Taunted by luxury, a life of ease.
I struggled to utter the words, “sir, please”?
I’d become distraught by my circumstance.
I saw no way alone; I could advance.

I knew the time in my life had now come,
To lose my ego, ask help from someone.
With all my money, I’d still have to ask,
Or accept my failure at this one task.

With money and self my only allies,
Having no solution was a surprise.
Sometimes our dreams may require another,
Like a friend, stranger, sister, or brother.

With my deepest desire, I long to teach.
Without another, it’s out of my reach.

Premium MemberGratitude still in my heart

My early childhood was great, I was the first born.
My mother had five children after me so I mostly remember
spending lots of time with my doting grandmother
who kept me busy learning to sew & knit before I could read & write.
I had such enthusiasm and benefited from tons of attention.
Creativity was a game to me and I learned to value time.

When I was nine, we moved far away and life changed overnight.
I was really lucky to land a grade 5 teacher who guided me
to learn english at an accelerated rate. I was a good student.

I've always been particularly thankful to both, teacher and grandmother.
they truly helped mold me into the person I turned out to be.

Premium MemberThe Essence Of Teaching

Teach them how to discern and learn,
Don’t leave them helpless to crash and burn.
Teaching them just content, they learn it your way.
Teach them the process of learning today,
You give them a lifetime of learning every day.

Premium MemberChambers of the Mind

In chambers of the mind, we store each day,
Each lesson wrapped in wonder, fear, or joy.
What matters most will never fade away.

The smell of chalk, the light at morning's ray,
First bicycle, first book, beloved toy
In chambers of the mind, we store each day.

Not facts alone, but how they came to stay:
The teacher's smile, the moment of deploy
What matters most will never fade away.

Through neural corridors, memories replay,
Some bright as copper, some we can't employ.
In chambers of the mind, we store each day.

The brain selects what's worthy of display:
Love, laughter, fear, emotions that employ
What matters most will never fade away.

So when we teach, we must find ways to weigh
Not just content, but context to enjoy.

In chambers of the mind, we store each day,
What matters most will never fade away.

The Legacy of a Candle

Inspired to share my knowledge,
Dedicated to teach with courage,
I gave my service with all my heart—
In my students' lives, I played an important part.

Three decades of guiding the young,
These are my riches, the songs I’ve sung.
I may be a candle burning low,
But the light I gave will always glow.

Proud to shape each growing mind,
And when my time is left behind,
Please remember me not with sorrow or wrath,
But as one who lit a flicker on your path.

twisted teenage teacher

their teenage teacher—they twisted to torture them ten terrible times

Premium MemberA Tale of Ultimate Faith

     Nachman was a revered Sage
        The greatest of his age

     One day he came to his stand
        Armless! What had happened?

     The next day, no legs either
        His students, now in a fever 

     On the morrow, his body covered with boils
        Panic set in – Was that the reward for all of Nachman's toils?

     Asked if to teach, he still could
        He replied ~ ‘What happens is all for the good’




     ~ Adapted from part of the tale in the Talmud 
        of 'Nachum, Ish Gam-zo,' meaning 'Nachum, 
        the man who says, "This too is for the good." 
        Tractate Ta'anis / Fasting - Chapter Three, 
        page 10b

Pedagogical Veracity

Socrates to Plato
Emerson to Thoreau

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear
Invaluable lessons will be on display for him to feel, see, and hear

Ali to Larry
Jordan to Kobe

If the student is willing, he will do the valiant work
He would rather not be the teacher; instead, he aims to show his worth

Picasso to Warhol
James to Michael____


Teacher to student
From shadow to lucent

Teacher to student
From unwise to prudent

A smart man studies and learns from the best
He knows and respects the work and readies himself for his test

Premium MemberTo You My Loved Teacher

To You, My Loved Teacher

I have always admired your fantastic femininity
Perfect woman. Angelic mermaid. My teacher

I love You

Loves You
Your student

Premium MemberTempus Americanus - American Time

      The teacher said, ‘Back in five minutes,’ before leaving the room
          His students groaned, ‘half an hour’ meant ‘soon’

      The time crawled by, the class dwindled to one
          ‘Still here?’ teacher asked ~ ‘Next class hasn’t begun’

Premium MemberA teacher's recurring nightmare

Today again, I went to go teach, totally unprepared.
And fearing the principal would come observe me had me so scared,
I rambled through the room, floundering and fluttering.
And then a student asked, "Mr J, why are you muttering?
Do I sense maybe ~ you're just a little bit impaired?"

Premium MemberTHE DICHOTOMY OF GROWTH

May we be blessed to understand 
the beautiful dichotomy of our growth……

How some days we are the teachers…
some days we’re the students…
and some days..we are both.

Teaching

Every day,
I try my best
To achieve the impossible goal
Of teaching children

Sometimes it’s a puzzle
That I can’t solve,
Where nothing comes together,
And none of the pieces fit

Other times, it’s a dance,
Endlessly rehearsed—
Only the steps keep changing,
And the audience doesn’t care

Sometimes it's a blind search:
An endless groping in the dark
For a light switch that isn’t there,
Or doesn’t work

But then I remind myself
That teaching requires warmth,
And so I take the time to build a fire,
And wait for them to gather ‘round.

Premium MemberThe Serling Zones

There are many zones
the popular Twilight Zone
crossing the school zone
with all the basics
like writhing and reeling and
arrhythmias are fatal

for Western students
cluelessness, secrecy, and
incapacity
ignored globe grows dust
and the school's walls have blackboards
dartboards for target practice

the teachers alarmed
walled Glocks that toll assassins
the lambs are noisy
indoors and outdoors
the hung apple's score tallies
The Tree of Knowledge still grows

principal announced
school will close for funerals
the town folks will meet
and begs an answer
school razed for homeschooling
new breeds promise no more graves

twenty-twenty-five
parents, their kid's commencements
gymnasium armed
library screams sh!
nobody crossing zone signs
fronts empty cemetery

Premium MemberThe Teacher Sets the Tone

   The teacher sets the tone in his classroom for the day
      Be pleasant and be friendly, students want to stay

   Walk in scowling with a frown upon your face
      Good luck, teacher ~ as students turn away
