ALWAYS Please the Teacher.


Is it all about pleasing the teacher?

You musn't ever say a bad word.

The "F" word. The "S" word.

Nothing innapropriate. Nothing suggestive.

Only perfect, angelic behavior.

Yet, not too angelic. Otherwise you'll be labelled.

Suck-up. Brown noser. Teacher's Pet.

There really is no winning.

Or is there?

To be a wall-flower or to be out-going.

Either way you'll be judged.

but does it matter?

As long as you please the teacher.

I'm the kind of person who isn't quick to make judgements on anyone or anything with the "unbiased" facts from both side. I like to think deep about things and question everything. I want my imagination and wonder to grow!
