Stand Up and Teach the Class


No more printed worksheets, 

no more downloaded lessons,

I want you to stand up and teach the class.

Unglue your eyes from that computer of yours,

and stop texting that person on your phone,

I want you to stand up and teach the class.

I can't learn from just reading the book,

nor can I comprehend the videos online,

I want you to stand up and teach the class.

What happened to the good old fashioned teachers

who wrote their lessons out,

who explained their curriculums,

who answered our questions without being annoyed,

and who stood up and taught the class?
