Dear Teacher
Dear Teacher
I saw this note to Nazhir, and though I dont know him, I couldnt help but pen a response on his behalf.
Dear Teacher:
I know that you like to share your wisdom by speaking;
but do you realize that I like to talk too.
I know that you like it when we write neatly in our notebooks;
but can you tell that I dont like scraping a pencil on paper to make words?
I know that you have many answers;
but when will we have time to pursue some of my questions?
I know that rows of desks and chairs can be orderly;
but do you really think you could handle sitting for one full day in my chair?
I know that you care about how I do in school;
but do you care enough about me to know what I most like to do?
I know that you found school interesting enough to start a career here;
but do you love it enough to keep on learning?
I know that you are giving us skills to help us be successful in school;
but can you also give us the keys to being successful at life?
I know that youre working in a system that is less than perfect;
but what are you going to do today, to help me realize you care?
Dear Reader:
I know you read blogs, at least on occasion;
but do you have any ideas to add in using the pattern: "I know... but..."?
I know that you know that Twitter exists;
but did you know you can tweet with the tag: #dearteacher
