Dull Educators Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak
Dull Educators
How can a teacher who is stale themselves turn any child
onto learning?
A classroom, dull and all dried out with no excitement -
except for when the children fight with each other.
Nothing takes place in an environment like that, least of
all any type of learning!
Teaching needs to come across to a child as an adventure,
an exciting aspect of life, something they might want to
do with their lives later on.
Falling asleep in class, being bored, not wanting to do
any work, whose fault is it all?
Only the teachers!

Great poem, RoseAnn. I agree with everything you said. However, as a former teacher, I can't help correcting a few minor errors in grammar. In the first sentence you are mixing a singular with a plural. (teacher = singular, themselves = plural) . You should use HIMSELF or HERSELF. Again, later in the poem, child = singular, they, their lives = plural. ... something HE might want to do with HIS LIFE later on. Finally, in the penultimate line, you meant WHOSE, not WHO'S. (Who's = who is) You are welcome to make the changes (if you wish) and then delete this message. I love your work. Respectfully, Kim Barney
