Give me less and expect more,
Increase the number of students-unscored
Yes, increase them to where they sit out the door
But I'll exceed...
I'm an Educator.
Give me less and expect more,
Test them, test them, and increase the score,
My soul, my heart I'll outpour
You see I am an educator.
No salary increase, less material to store,
Lesson plans and classes, don't be a bore,
Demands, deadlines-still they ask for more
I'll succeed. I'm an educator.
Furloughs, uncertainties like never before,
Bigger classes, less money, demands galore
Test scores, vouchers, merit pay, issues soar
I'll succeed; you see I'm an educator.
