And why so many kids missing out on it?
Parents are saying. “do what I told you!”
So few of them saying, “child just let me hold you.”
It's not my mission to make everything right but it is my passion to jump into the fight.
Student or kiddos whatever you call them it's our crusade we got to stand up for all of them.
ABC's and One, two, threes there is so much more to teaching unfortunately
Kids come with baggage they don't have the skills to manage.
So how do we help them and not cause further damage.
Causing teachers to have to look listen and see
Kids attacked by letters like SAT, IEP, ODD, ADHD
If they want to do more than get a GED.
Their students need CPR if they're going to breathe.
Bullying, violence, our schools all in tatters
loving your students is what really matters
Love, value, try giving them hope
Help them say no to drug dealers for God’s sake throw them a rope
I'll get them hooked on appreciation
I want to marry value to education
Politician making laws and regulations
Cutting budgets for education, so they can wage war with far-away nations.
Do they know schools still have outdated books and Apple IIe stations?
Drop those high stakes test create creative spaces
Let’s make our classroom our kids favorite places.
Let’s turn to the teachers and ask what do you need?
Let’s look to educators and follow their lead.
Listen to the students, that may seem crazy.
But when you ask them, you’ll get ideas for days
See we need to show kids that they are gifts from above,
Help them feel empowered and valued and loved.
