Our phones a vibrating reminder
that we could be elsewhere
that we have friends
that we are important
What can a teacher give us?
:( Busy work...
homework to gouge our fun
to lock us away from life
What can a teacher give us?
A kind word - spoken, written
o_O texted!?!?
Good job on that essay!”
What can a teacher give us?
Knowledge, questions
books, words, skills, respect
O_o self-reliance!?!?
What can I give my teacher?

  1. Ms. B,

    the difference between your reading it to me in class last week and reading it here is amazing. I though it was good before, but you've used emoticons artfully in a way that is creative and humorous.

    You actually bring your students to life and I think it shows great mastery on your part to be so empathetic and aware of their points of view and the distractions they face.

    Thanks.
