We sit behind desks

As they try to teach us

We learn

Math, Reading, and Science

Writing for hours

Seven to be exact

For One Hundred and Eighty days a year

But it's for a good cause

The teachers are just try ing to get us to where we need tobe

They care about us

They are not trying to make us feel stupid

With As, Bs, Cs, Ds, or Fs

It's just what they do as teachers

And it's what we learn …
