To stand with fellow teachers in a non aggressive crowd
Fighting to save more cuts for this over worked profession
Through these tough times the government call a recession
Side by side, flags in hand, we all felt the same
To get rid of that man with the never forgotten name
He treats the profession with disrespect and contempt
For he will be the man we will never exempt
The place packed and the noise deafening in St George’s Hall
Like a crowd at a football match but without the obvious ball
The speakers spoke clear with confidence and passion
Surely the secretary of state for education will soon be out
of fashion
Apparently, people say, our profession is so easy to do
But graduate numbers down and no one forming a queue
We don’t just work from nine until three, with a one hour break
More like skip lunch, works until eight, now that’s not fake
Floating out of the room the hopes were tremendously high
Unions staying strong together unanimously asking why
Taking away PPA, raising the working age, fighting for our
pay
We had our time, we had our place, and we definitely had our
say!
