Duties Of A Teacher

The everyday duties of a teacher

Are as difficult as they can be, 

Whether in an elementary or secondary school

Or whether the teacher is a he or she.

The teacher must possess a bundle of information, 

A knowledge that will constantly shine, 

And in addition, must maintain class discipline

To keep all the students properly in line.

There are an insurmountable number of questions

To be answered during every period of the day, 

And test papers must be carefully graded when

The students leave and go merrily on their way.

The pleasures and encounters of an evening out

Are few and seldom to be socially shared, 

Because the next day's lessons must have priority, 

Be reviewed and lessons carefully prepared.

A dedicated teacher gets personal satisfaction

In this cumbersome and timeless atmosphere.

The role of a teacher is vital in this complex world, 

Preparing all students for a future career.
