This was prompted by a challenge on another board to write to the title topic. Since I'm a sub-teacer, I glommed onto the challenge immediately. Say, I've never seen "glommed" spelled, do you think I've got it? It's not a REAL word is it? It's not in my dictionary, anyway.

head teacher
helpers, too,
to tend, to teach,
this modern zoo

the path of least
resistance, here,
diversity’s the name
of the education game

anti-discrimination
rules and rocks
this mottled nation
all walks of life
all forms of creed
plantings of the diversity
seed

learning how to get along
with many voices
many songs

learning styles
a key to life
finding ways
so learning’s rife

dunce cap’s
new and improved
getting into the
cyber groove

misbehavior’s
frustration’s lot
ennui’s consequence
distraught

in the corner there
in front of cyber chair
children sit
and learn to stare
at random life’s array
will it save the day?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
