Teachers Challenge Poem by louis rams

It's time for the public to open up their eyes
Without the teachers how will our kids survive
What will happen to our children if they
don't have an education
They are the foundation of this great nation.

The teachers all had a dream and a goal
To teach the public young and old.
They had learned early in college
That they must gain daily knowledge.

Every day they challenge their minds
With new knowledge that they find
It does not matter what the topic may be
It all goes down into history.

They work hard at what they do
Teaching our kids and their kids too.
Teaching is not an easy task
not all kids learn that fast.

Then there are those with special needs
With which the teachers plant their seeds.
They are given a lot more patience
And a lot more care, so with them
The teachers do share.

Now is the time that money should be given
So that they can earn a decent living.
