If you would just get up and teach ’em instead of handing ’em a freakin packet yo
There’s kids in here that don’t learn like that
They need to learn face to face
You’re just getting mad because I’m pointing out the obvious (and you’re too l..)
..no I’m not wasting your time, I’m telling you what you need to do
you want kids to come into your class and you want ’em to get excited for this?
You gotta come in here and make ’em excited
You want a kid to change and start doing better
You gotta touch his freakin heart
You can’t expect a kid to change if all you do is just tell ’em
You gotta You gotta take this job serious
This is the future of this nation
And when you come in here, like you did last time, and make a statement about ‘oh this is my paycheck’
Indeed it is
But this is my country’s future and my education
But there’s a limit
I’m not bitching but simply making an observation
And now I will leave
You’re welcome
And if you would like I’ll teach you a little more
So you can actually learn how to teach a freakin class
Because since I got here, I’ve done nothin but read packets
So don’t try to take credability for teaching me jack
