Step Off vs. Step Up

Teachers, here's a lesson

you don't seem to appreciate:

Judging students yourself 

Causes classroom hate.

Stop pretending you don't see it

When your favorite student bullies.

Stop turning the other way

As you see a child scurry.

The halls are meant for higher knowledge,

Not for making you feel bigger.

So try to find the child inside-

Don't help them pull the trigger.
