We've made it to the middle of May. With the weather shifting and trees leafing out, it seems like everyone -- teachers and students alike -- want to bolt from the classroom to bask in the warm air.
|
Well, they get a little crazy by the middle of May;
There's a hint of summer, but we have to stay
Still a few weeks longer, and I have to say,
I am counting every minute, each and every day.
Chorus:
Teaching is wearing; teaching is tough.
Summer is coming, not soon enough.
I've been planning, grading so much stuff,
By the middle of May, I have had enough.
Well, I've heard people say teachers have it pretty good.
We get summers off, and you know we should.
If they tried to teach, do you think they could?
They'd be fried by noon. Yes, you know they would.
Chorus:
Teaching is wearing; teaching is tough.
Summer is coming, not soon enough.
I've been planning, grading so much stuff,
By the middle of May, I have had enough.
They were misbehaving at the first of the year,
And they're not much better June is almost here.
I have done what I could just to persevere.
Sent the forms in for a sabbatical year.
Chorus:
Teaching is wearing; teaching is tough.
Summer is coming, not soon enough.
I've been planning, grading so much stuff,
By the middle of May, I have had enough.
Well my patience wears thin by the middle of May.
Oh, it feels like Friday almost every day.
I don't know how I'll make it, but there might be a way.
I could call in sick for a mental health day.
Chorus:
Teaching is wearing; teaching is tough.
Summer is coming, not soon enough.
I've been planning, grading so much stuff,
By the middle of May, I have had enough.
