An Ideal Teacher

I Am Looking For A Teacher,

Who is beautiful inside,

Honest with ME

Giving ME a sense of pride.

I am looking for a teacher,

With a healthy self-esteem,

Who clearly states the rules,

And doesn't have to scream.

I am looking for a teacher,

Who creatively prepares,

But whose first priority,

Is to convey that she cares.

I am looking for a teacher,

Who is interested, not aloof,

Who treats ME with respect,

Even when I goof.

I am looking for a teacher,

Who knows how to laugh and smile,

Who enjoys what she is doing,

And goes the extra mile.

I am looking for a teacher,

Who believes all students can learn,

Who praises their efforts and dreams,

They give their best in return.

I am looking for a teacher,

Who communicates with my parents well,

Gently and carefully selecting words,

When there is a problem to tell.

I am looking for a teacher,

Who will fill ME with desire,

To learn more every day,

With curiosity that won't tire.

I am looking for a teacher,

Who encourages ME to have a dream,

To work at solving problems,

Building MY self-esteem.

There are teachers out there,

The kind we are looking for,

For their student's future success,

They have opened up the door.
