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

Weekend Writing Prompt #133 – Longevity
Padre's Ramblings 
Dear Padre,
You put me in mind of the teachers who made a difference in my life. At the time it was ‘us’ vs ‘them’. You’ve told the story from the other side. I enjoyed this.
Shalom,
Rochelle

I remember my teachers as having a very firm touch, especially with a cane on the hand or a slipper on the backside! A delightful take Padre.
Here’s mine!
