What for now, tell them on your bike
They get great holidays and their pays not bad
All for just looking after your girl and lad
But wait and think about what they actually do
You try teaching kids in a concrete zoo
From nursery to sixth form it’s all basically the same
Every teacher forgets someone’s fashionable name
They are not just educating your precious child
They are making sure all the documentation is properly filed
Working doesn’t stop when the child has gone home
Staying behind to make resources for a topic on Ancient Rome
Not just a teacher but a carer, advisor and nurse
If you paid by the hour it would lighten your purse
Teachers sometimes suffer abuse from the crowd
Standing there abused, retaliation not allowed
The government very clever and put on a great spin
Turning people against teachers, they just can’t win
I ask you would you back down and take the cuts
No consultation, no discussion, no ifs or buts
Teachers get the blame for most things in society
ASBO, riots, and the latest one obesity
When does it become the parents fault?
Uneducated parents, let’s open the vault
I know many will disagree with what I write
That’s ok we don’t need to start a verbal fight
I ask you to spend sometime in a school class
You’ll end up trying to get out by breaking the glass
Teachers aren’t perfect in fact some are rather insane
Trying to create lessons that are exciting and not mundane
Please don’t take the government’s side letting teachers
take all the blame
You’ll never forget a good teacher; you’ll never forget
their name
