Let Them Teach
Homeschooling? How are you getting on with it?
How’s that working out for you?
How do you think you’d be getting on with it
With thirty kids, not one or two?
Where you couldn’t change the wifi password
Or send them to their rooms
And their parents don’t believe a word
When parents evening looms
We do not pay our teachers enough. We don’t.
They truly deserve far more than they get
And worst of all, when your child gets inspired
We don’t let our teachers teach, lest some target not be met
If and when we send our kids back
Once more, unto the breach
Let’s rally behind our teachers
And let them bloody teach.
