Waking up to a new day and wanting to get started in learning a new way

The only thing I learn everyday is that being rich and kissing up will get you places

While, being modest and actually trying only gets strange looks that say get out of my face

I don't want to be estranged from the crowd but, the way you treat me in and out

of class, conversations, and fundraising benefits makes me want to scream and choke you a bit

I cannot help that I don't have money or the know how, however, this is whay I am here for

so get off your high horse and teach me how!

Yes I am shy, awkard and unclear. But you are a teacher that is supposed to show me how to

have no fear

My writing is foggy and my words get confusing but, work with me here and teach me instead

of amusing! Telling your students about you adventures isn't going to get them any closer to

their own future

Teachers, parents governments and school, please take me seriously and give me tools

Stop playing these favoritzism games and play by the rules
