At the Chalkface

Thirty years before the chalkface

Wearily I stand

Korczak, Vygotsky, and Dweck as well

Feature in my lesson – planned

 

Yet for all the experience and the prep

Notes will still make their rounds

Doodles filling pages blank

And whispers start when I turn around

 

But I am patient, and I understand

Longevity in teaching has taught me such

I know that learning will in the end be had

If I use a firm but gentle touch
