School Teacher's Advice To Parents Poem by Juwon Daniel

Dear Parent,
I understand that you are scared to wave your
child goodbye,
and leave him in a teacher's hands -
don't worry if you cry!

I'm used to weeping parents, it's hard to leave I
know.
But it's time to share him (just a bit) to help
him learn and grow.

Let me reassure you that I'll give your child my
best,
I'll wipe his tears, soothe his fears and
change his dirty vest!

If your darling child is full of cold I'll blow their
nose all day,
just like you, I'll care for them in a
special way.

I'll treat him like I would my own I'll catch him
from a fall,
and if there is ANY problem I'll be sure
to tell you all.

It's true he'll grow to love us,
they'll talk of school
a lot,
it doesn't mean they hate you and that you
should lose the plot!

I'll tell you a secret... That when your child is here,
they talk to me as much of you, of this please have
no fear.

You'll always be their mother, whilst teachers
come and go,
to them you are their number one,
this I truly know.

Soon you'll see some changes, in your little girl or
boy,
they'll become more independent and to see
this, it's a joy!

I'll teach them all I have to give, to share, climb
and to write,
but to you they safely will return to
tuck them in at night.

With love from al' school teachers,
W'll collaborate together
To make our student brighter.
