When teachers stopped living at school


When teachers stopped sleeping on the tables,

Eating dinner in the cafeteria,

Brushing their teeth in the bathroom,

Hiding their clothes in classroom closets,

Having crazy staff pajama parties

 

When teachers stopped knowing everything,

Answering any question correctly,

Knowing any subject that you wanted,

Being a walking dictionary

 

When  teachers became average humans

Who had families,

Slept in houses,

Ate on tables unknown

 

When Teachers stopped living at school,

Teaching became work,

Everything became about tests,

And I grew up
