Thank you teachers


if the students don't mind opening the door then the door can open the students' minds; A feeling of academia seeps through the floor You never know just what you might find There’s something special about a classroom. The environment of learning almost more common than plain curiosity Just ask Plato and Aristotle To study in solitude seems like insanity There’s something special about a classroom. Students bring the world into focus but through the teacher’s borrowed lens-- without the pressure of doubt to choke us we can break down preconceptions and then make amends There's something special about a classroom. in a time when life is as fragile as glass cold to the touch, brittle but frail reflecting the effort to stand up and ask we need our students to feel safe to fail There’s something special about letting a class roam.
