The following is a reflection on the subbing day that prompted the poem, "Please..." written 2/16/01, even though I put the wrong date on each. I'll fix this one to the right date. ;o} together proving they ... Frazzled Dazzle Virginia Salter they frazzled my dazzle and pooped my pop their antics were disconcerting they just wouldn’t stop all my energy focused on surviving the day I only remained to earn of my pay that’s no way to be that’s no way to play I want to do right and give honor each day the hairs on my head grew thinner and thinner I wondered if fate would get me to dinner modifying behavior is how I set out yet stronger were they in thwarting my clout the classroom from hell save a tiny soul or two I only can sympathize you in your living zoo © February 17, 2001 |

Omigosh I knew this was about your work when I got to the third or so verse! Shish and I thought that I had a tough job...you must have the patience of a saint. Hope that the rest of the year is much calmer.  |

as a sub-teacher, I really don't have to go back in to a class that threatens my sanity, I certainly feel for the teacher that has to remain there all year however, economically, right now I have felt compelled to say 'yes, I'll go' back into a den of lions, as long as they're little lions, more than I would have if there were other options, or the need not so great that last line is my heartfelt remark for the regular teacher of that class |

i came to read as promised... hang in there...i believe the job of a teacher is a noble one...i think i have heard of a saying that goes something like this:it takes ten years for a tree to prosper but it takes a hundred years for a person to be moulded... nice rant  |
