Now everybody talks about Oh you teachers got it so easy With your summers off Christmas break- MUST BE NICE Yeah it must be nice I'll tell ya How nice it is To sing the teacher blues (teacher blues) Eight in the morning Till five or six at night I'm in my classroom Makin sure my kids are alright Now this ain't really been my day baby And it's really been a crappy week Got written up for not wearing a tie And my AC unit sprung a leak Just got out of an admin meeting They tell me this is all my fault I got the teacher blues The teacher blues I just sent 40 copies to the printer Somebody tell me where did they go Guess I better send IT an email But my confidence is pretty low I still got next month's unit to write But that ain't happening now Because the internet just went down And plus my mood is getting pretty foul Oh look at that this kid's still failing Better call home and see what that's about Hello? Ms. [redacted]? Yes, this is [redacted]'s teacher. Well, not great... what's going on is he's still failing and unfortunately now he's even farther behind than the last time we spoke... Yes... I believe you had said you were going to take away his... oh he got it back already? Oh, yes it might need to be more than a day to really be effective They let us claim $200 on our taxes Any more I guess is just too much They need to make sure we LOVE those kids So they're careful not to spoil us Well by now I spent thousands and thousands of dollars So I guess I've really left no doubt They say you got to spend money to make it But this is NOT what they're talking about Just keep goin on teaching' them kids Everything they need to know Cause those standardized tests are coming up next month And how they do affects your bank roll I don't know... I wanted to do this project on poster board but... might need to run to Dollar Store. I need some markers to I guess, scissors, all that crap... ugh... when's payday? Well, we'll have to do it online. An "e-poster", that's what we'll call it. Whatever Well, at this point there's really no time for him to catch up, I'd have to basically write his essay for him... no no, please don't thank me, I didn't mean that I WOULD do it, I meant... oh... um, well I'm very sorry for your loss then, I had no idea...yeah sure, in that case he can have more time, sure Clinical depression and active shooter drills Explaining to them what they got to do But I got to keep smiling for my students Cause they're kids and they're scared shitless too Now they're sayin we should arm the teachers I wonder just how that'd go I guess I got to get to know this kid for eight months Be ready to cap him by mid-April? Cause if I don't you know what the news will say It's all that teacher's fault We armed him and he let them die We should have never trust that guy
