Thanks for being my teacher
For teaching me how to read
For teaching me how to write
For learning you planted a seed
A seed on which you watered
With patience and care
A teacher like you
Is oh so rare
~~~~~~######~~~~~~
School can be a scary place
Also a place of great learning
Once you find the seed is sown
There'll always be a yearning
And this yearning you instilled in me
Filled me to the brim
Always helping me out
You went out on a limb
So I say thank you with this verse
Thanks for all you've done
I know I'll still remember you
When all my school days are gone
~~~~~~######~~~~~
When I started school
I was so small and scared
And after everyday my mother
Asked me how I fared
And I got you as a teacher
I thought I hit jackpot
All the bad stuff from before
You know I soon forgot
You taught me my ABCs
And also my 123's
And when I had troubles
You set my mind at ease
~~~~~#####~~~~~
I'm glad that you're my teacher
I'm so glad I'm in your class
As a role model I feel inspired
To do more than just pass
You help me reach my goals
I love the way you teach
Planting a seed of curiosity
Helping me to dream and reach
Being a Teacher must be hard work
Especially with me
Always having to watch your back
To foil some evil deed
But the way I act
Is not the way I care
Because a teacher like you
Is awfully rare

Thank you (###) for all you've done for me
For teaching me all I need
For faithfully helping me
Gently planting the seed

Teaching's not like it used to be
These days there's lots of rules
Praise the hardworking
Admonish the fools
Teaching these days
Is about giving children rewards
Continual praise
And numerous awards
No more is it right to strap
Or use a giant stick
Berate the lazy
Or give a great big kick

You were a fascinating teacher
You always taught me well
Never ever giving up
Even I gave you hell
But now that I have grown up
I realise my friend
You always gave me what I needed
So this Christmas Card I send
