30 plastic seats
Full of children you don't care about
It's all about the numbers
That's what gets you paid

10 ungraded essays
Because it's too much work for you
It's all about the numbers
They didn't need that grade

4 blank walls
Blotting out all of their creativity
It's all about the numbers
Originality shouldn't be displayed

2 large whiteboards
Full of small black text
It's all about the numbers
The colors have all grayed

1 neglectful teacher
You forgot you once taught to help
It's all about the numbers
Watching the light in students' eyes fade
