A Students Thought On Teachers Bad Habits

What do you think when you look at me?

Do you allow your views to interfere with my education?

Or are you a believer in equal opportunity?

I ask because; growing up in the south personally my teachers seem to look at you as a group and not individual.

Rather you're, gay, black, spiritual. 

You're not as equipped.

You come in, fox trot around the room. 

Sit at your desk as if you're grading those papers that were meant to be reviews.

Thas right a study guide.

Ms. Addams may I eat my breakfast?

Were not suppose to eat in the classroom; as she sips her Starbucks coffee and eats her oversized muffin.

So I rushed to class, skipped breakfast and packed it so I can eat in class for nothing.

No fuck that, I'm gonna eat my breakfast and how about you start putting those grades in that you said were suppose to be in 

2 weeks ago; Im just having a mental discussion.

The laziness of some teachers is what's wrong with our system as well.

You don't want to deal with a bully, so you expell.

You don't want to grade our projects all night so you put us in groups.

Thats taking away from us learning because we're all gonna let that one person come up with everything so our grade will boost.

Were not just all confused teens trying to be recklass and carefree.

Why don't you look at us individually.

Though there's the jock, the girl who loves cats wearing that sappy tee.

Another version of Daria in the corner listening to The Prodigy.

We all have something to give and I thought you became a teacher to do the same. 

Kids are equal opportunity, but don't treat us like secondhand citizens because of your laziness and the fact that you already have your degrees.
