ON.. What Teachers Make.

missyau posted a video of this a while ago, and being back at a school has brought this poem toLink the forefront of my mind.


It's called 'what teachers make' written by Taylor Mali (a teacher in the states).

A link to his poem is: http://www.taylormali.com/index.cfm?webid=13

He also has a youtube video of him reciting it.. i highly recommend it!

Teachers are underpaid, underappreciated, and overworked everywhere in the world. Sad, but true. Moreover, the importance of a good education (and therefore good teachers) is rarely acknowledged. In a capitalist world, you won't force the best people to teach maths when they can be paid two or three times more in industry.
