a ruler mark was a better way
children should not have fun
or play
serious the subject
in every day
we must light- hearted
laugh today
follow the leader
the silly way
you don’t want to know
that I taught a game
I have the upmost respect for teachers with all sorts of degrees. The job is an important one. A retired elementary teacher, I respect and adore, states emphatically that her most important subject was love and kindness; something she taught by example to her appreciative students. I’ll add fun to that list. We have fun in our classes – lot’s of it!!!
Sending love to my friends in Pawell and Lacor. You are the best teachers in the world and have taught me to have the best kind of fun.
~ Love Mrs. Fish

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. In 2019, we have an exciting project. We are developing elementary curriculum for Ugandan children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children who want to learn. Along with the curriculum, we hope to develop simple fictions about Uganda for the children to read at school. Trust me books are in short supply. We will use our trusted story tellers: a butterfly and a lion to make the stories come alive. Stay tuned as Bethany and Me put pen to paper.

Children learn more from fun and play than being forced to sit at their desks all day. Love the picture.

Love and kindness should be on every school’s syllabus . Once that’s in place, everything else works out just fine.
I like your suggestion: to follow…the silly way:)

As a teacher myself I appreciate your poem, it is the love for children that drew me to teaching in the first place and having fun is a must in my class.
Thank you for sharing.

I enjoy your poem very much and teachers are marvels to me, especially those from my school years. I don’t have an opinion on those who teach today because I have not had any dealings with them but I suspect there are some good ones still in this community. I loved my first-grade teacher, Mrs. Holly and it broke my heart when she went away to have her baby. Another woman stepped in during her absence and was a horrid, crouchy woman who did not have the same loving disposition of Mrs. H. Years later, I had Mrs. Holly again as my 7th grade Science teacher. It was a delight to have her again and she was every bit as kind as I remembered. I don’t think she’s with us anymore. I think someone passed the mews to me that she died years ago from cancer which made me sad but knowing her heart, I think she was a Christian and lives with Jesus now. Thanks for sharing and for visiting yesterday
