So before you kick your rugrats out of the car as you slow down to a mere 15mph in front of the school tomorrow, make sure to write a note to their teachers thanking them for all they do!*

Checks,cash, flowers, candy and other trinkets are also acceptable fair to show your appreciation.

To all my fellow educators out there, you ROCK!

This is for you....



People
Keep on learnin’
Soldiers
Keep on warrin’
World,
Keep on turnin’
Cause it won’t be too long.
Powers

Chorus:

I’m so darn glad he let me try it again,
’cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin.
I’m so glad that I know more than I knew then.
Gonna keep on tryin’ till I reach the highest ground.

Preachers,

World, keep on turnin’,

* I don't think you are bad parents who would actually forcably remove your offspring from moving veichles,it's just that I've had a frustrating work day, I've had a few and that wasa lame attempt at humor. Forgive me.

Have you really had a few?!?!

For all the special ed teachers here at the org....

It was 7:45 we were all in line
2 greet the teacher miss cathleen
First was kevin, then came lucy, third in line was me
All of us where ordinary compared to cynthia rose
She always stood at the back of the line
A smile beneath her nose
Her favorite number was 20 and every single day
If u asked her what she had 4 breakfast
This is what she’d say
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If u set your mind free, baby
Maybe you’d understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Cynthia wore the prettiest dress
With different color socks
Sometimes I wondered if the mates where in her lunchbox
Me and lucy opened it when cynthia wasn’t around
Lucy cried, I almost died, u know what we found?

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If u set your mind free, honey
Maybe you’d understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Starfish and coffee

Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she’d draw
On every wall in every school
But it’s all right, it’s 4 a worthy cause
Go on, cynthia, keep singin’

Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If u set your mind free, baby
Maybe you’d understand
Starfish and coffee
Maple syrup and jam

(starfish in your coffee, you will love it, told ya so)
(starfish in your coffee, you will love it, told ya so)

Fauxie said:

i know a few teachers that totally deserve many thanks...
they're the reasons i'll be a teacher in 4 years...

SammiJ said:

Awww... you go Sammi!!!

Two teachers changed my life: Ms Rickman and Ms Obar


Ms Rickman is probably dead now, and Ms Obar would have already retired.

They tought me to #1) understand and appreiciate literature and #2) don't take anything written at face value.

THIS is the song that keeps me going everytime i feel that my art isn't good enough and that i can't be what i've dreamed of being
that song is my fuel and i'll be sure to be using it in my classes in the future
because i am cynthia, damn it.

Imago said:

That warms my heart Dan. I'm glad you had such wonderful teachers.

SammiJ said:

I had a "cynthia" my first year...the girl fit the description in the song so perfectly.

Sweeny79 said:

I agree Chris

anyway back to teachers....

Teachers have a thankless job. They do so much for children and they go above and beyond what is expected of them.
