Just because I’m a teacher
I’m not mean
I’m not a control freak
I’m not in love with the sound of my voice.
Just because I’m a teacher
I don’t wear ugly sweaters
I’m not a hermit who has no friends
I don’t get a kick out of assigning homework
And I don’t want to grade it either.
Just because I’m a teacher
It doesn’t mean that I think I’m better than you
Wiser than you
Louder than you
Or even taller than you
Just because I’m a teacher
Why should I be paid next to nothing?
What is Arnie thinking?
What happened to tenure?
Just because I’m a teacher.
