Going Dutch
seem to be reminiscing alot of late. today about the 14 schools i went to, in the space of just 11 years, the first two in Dutch (my favourite, the second Dutch school, i was teachers pet. i know this, as she kept me in a cage at the back of the class!) in reality, i was invited to her house. she was widowed, her husband had been in the Dutch Resistance during WWII, and died at the ands of the Nazi's. she taught me how she made her own butter, and was generally a really lovely woman, that i desperately hoped would adopt me, anything to get away from my family! her name was Mrs Paul...

I Pledge Allegiance to the Disco Ball
I've asked for some things for my new classroom
and have gotten some of them.
I haven't gotten the extra bookshelf.
Or the Post It chart paper.
Or an American flag,
large or small.
Instead
when the vice principal
leads the Pledge over the PA system
my class and I face the blue disco ball
I got for $5 at Five Below.
We really like it.
I believe in sparkly objects
that catch and amplify light.
I believe in beauty.
It's a great icy blue color.
I believe in my country
minus the guns, ...
and have gotten some of them.
I haven't gotten the extra bookshelf.
Or the Post It chart paper.
Or an American flag,
large or small.
Instead
when the vice principal
leads the Pledge over the PA system
my class and I face the blue disco ball
I got for $5 at Five Below.
We really like it.
I believe in sparkly objects
that catch and amplify light.
I believe in beauty.
It's a great icy blue color.
I believe in my country
minus the guns, ...

Oh no, they're gone
There's a classroom noise-level app called Bouncy Balls
I had it projected, but the screen went black
A student called out to me urgently:
"Miss! Miss!
You lost your balls!"
I muttered to myself
I hate it when that happens.

Graduation
Graduation was over,
I said what I needed to say.
High school was done forever.
I never had to go back.
I should’ve been happy,
Or maybe sad it was over.
Instead, still in cap and gown,
I sat on my bed and sobbed.
The wave of relief was overwhelming,
I survived.
The flashbacks of how horrible it was…
It was finally over.
But nothing was made right.
The hell I left behind
Was no longer mine.
It was for the next class
And the class after that.
It will continue to torture,
Kill hopes...

Will Never Miss Highschool
I will never understand how anyone could miss those 4 bloody years.
4 bloody years of cramming 7 classes within one day.
4 bloody years of constant pressure to make great grades.
4 bloody years of not knowing who the hell you are.
4 bloody years of being stuck seeing people everyday who likely won't stick by your side when times get tough.
(I know all my friends didn't. Mental illness is just such a bitch to be around, ain't it? Love how you are all out living your lives together without me.)

If I taught in Louisiana
If I taught in Louisiana
you best believe I'd know the score,
I post the ten commandments in Hebrew
and hang a mezuzah by the door
The kids could sit on a pentagram rug
in the lotus position if they choose,'
Unitarian talks and Pagan rites
with inclusion you can't lose
The next mandate is not hard to guess:
Trump's picture on the wall
a breaker of every commandment
the irony lost on each and all
Talk of separation of church and state
would only be met with anger and hate
should I be forced to hang doctrine...

Chicken Nuggets on Ice
Alejandro says he needs to go to the nurse
Some students
ask for health room passes when they're bored,
or don't want to work
Alejandro always wants to work
Alejandro is wildly enthusiastic about everything
Best student ever.
I ask Alejandro what to put for the reason
Headache?
Stomachache?
Nah, says Alejandro
My chicken nuggets hurt!
I change chicken nuggets to private area
and send him on his way
It's not the first time I've heard a boy say chicken nuggets
"Ms G, during PE, the...

Sudden
Sixth graders watching the Guiness Book of World Records'
longest conga line of dogs
because it's five minutes before dismissal on a Friday
and why not?
Two simultaneous responses
one from a girl
one from a boy
"Aww, it's a puppy choo choo train!"
"Yeah, they's doin' it doggie style"
Cusp of twelve:
the hold of innocence tenuous
against gale force winds

because it's five minutes before dismissal on a Friday
and why not?

Rules are Roolz
Some rules are good:
no smoking in public places
no littering
no running red lights
no killing people
But some rules are questionable:
insistence on school uniforms
in a low-income school
when mom's been unable to launder navy pants
and white shirts
because dad went to jail last night
or the power was cut off
or because the family of eight has to move again
third time in six months
I'm developing the reputation
as the teacher who doesn't dress code students
(they think I don't notice)

Your Day to Fart
it has been said
that teachers make 1,000 decisions a day
that number seems low
and then there's...everything else
after lunch (why does math always have to be after lunch?)
i'm writing a math problem on the Smartboard (I love my Smartboard)
i'm thinking about the copies I didn't get to make for Social Studies
about more forms I have to fill out
about the sad, teach to the test ethos permeating the district (and country)
about my new student who does not speak a word of English
joining two others in my class who barely do ...

Curatrix For Budding Chaucerphiles
Curatrix For Budding Chaucerphiles
She dusts books with her burning hair. Her flaming tresses brush the words of the opened pages of ‘Canterbury Tales’ licked by her locks. She kisses due date cards for boys desirous of her lipstick strawberries.
“Ms. Rowena, doesn’t your hair collect dust from brushing those old books?”
“It is my way of worshipping the authors. I think they would be honored.”
“If you say so. But I doubt making your hair into a dust broom crossed their mind as adulation.”

Hey, Crazy Texas
Hey crazy Texas,
seems you're no longer contented,
with just killing women and girls in the name of pro life
Now you're out to kill the heart of Houston's schools
to kill choices, knowledge, literacy, and joy
You're coming for the libraries.
Under your dystopian plan,
libraries will be turned into "discipline centers"
a place for disruptive students
to learn remotely.
Hey crazy Texas,
here's a thought:
how about teaching those bored, disruptive students
to get hooked on books
and give them time...
