lets change.


Now listen up teachers I have a couple of things to say.

we need to make some changes so please do not delay.

so before you tell me, I better put on the brake.

listen, because there is to much at stake.

guess I should open with a confession.

when your teaching, it puts me in a deppresion.

teachers are supposed to inspire, at least that was my impression.

my stutter is on the outside, my mind is on the inside.

but when you brushed me aside I felt my hopes die.

please stop acting like Dr. Jackle and Mr. Hide.

do you care about this disability Im sharing?

if you haven't noticed it's a heavy weight i'm bearing.

a big problem is the educational reform.

It left the school system horribly deformed.

no child left behind, yeah right.

I got lost in the lamp light as careing teachers said forever good night.

don't herd me through, that tells me I mean nothing to you.

so listen up I got something to say.

never forget you stand at a crossway.

our education is in compleat disarray.

because to you its just another work day.

but what if we compaire?

lets say that you did care.

would we be more prepaired?

what if you would take the time to teach?

instead, when you talk, I hear is a set seech.

I wish you would help me to understand.

but when I'm in class it's like I get the figerative back hand.

but still I hold a hope.

that togeather we can reverse this downward slope.

this are the things I would like to see you change.

I know if we work togeather this can be rearranged.
