The Challenger’s Word: Teaching and Learning
Provided by the student of life and teacher of many: Adriana
It is best to read it on wide screen!
Take a moment to think of all the people who taught you a valuable lesson: Teachers, co-workers, friends, families, strangers on the internet and streets. Be grateful for every advise as it opens your mind towards new perspectives and finally shapes your personality.
Education is important but more important is the strive to actually share or gain knowledge and wisdom. Teaching and learning are not always two separate entities; for a student can teach his master a lesson and a master knows that there is always more to know.
The style of the poem is: AABBA and later read at two sides individually
I give you:
Teaching and Learning
by Gregor
Waking to a ringing sound
Head up high, feet on the ground
Grooming, Brushing
Lazily, rushing
Happy that this day is around.
Leave the home through the door
Taking transport one or more
For everyone
All-Day had begun
And with it all its task and chore.
Entering the building straight
On the left offices await
On the right classrooms await
Sitting down
Sitting down
Without a frown
Without a frown
Marking, grading until it’s eight.
Preparing pens until it’s eight.
All of the co-workers are fun
All of his classmates are fun
Telling stories what they had done
Telling what they want to become
With the bell
With the bell
Conversations fell
Conversations fell
And everyone is up and gone.
Everyone is sitting and he starts to hum.
Entering the classroom grinning
The door opens and he stops singing
As she heard the end of singing
Marvelling why the teacher is grinning
Twenty-five kids
With twenty-four kids
Her class fits
He quietly sits
Eagerly waiting for the lesson’s beginning.
Eagerly waiting for the lesson’s beginning.
Most of them do really behave
He is one of which that mostly behave
Answering all questions brave
Raising his arm to be smart and brave
Teaching is best
Learning is best
Not finding a rest
Not finding a rest
As her kids for more knowledge crave.
He wants to satisfy his knowledge crave
Teaching math, English and biology
Learning math, English and biology
Share social ethics and morality
Understanding ethics and morality
As they listen
As he listens
They gain wisdom
Grows his wisdom
Of the world in its complexity.
Of the world in its complexity
Sometimes in the class arises trouble
One of his friends always seek out for trouble
With certain groups the issues double
Sometimes he joins creating some rubble
Hard and fair
Like shaving hair
Order through care
The teacher’s stare
Problems dissolve like a soap bubble.
Create order again without a sign of a stubble.
Every day her own knowledge grows
Every day his knowledge grows
Being kind but respected shows
Getting smart and creative shows
Experience earning
Collaboration in speech
Is a way of learning
Is a way to teach
She is happy with the way she chose.
He is happy with the school he chose.
Observing her pupils get older and wise
Observing his teacher get older and wise
Raising questions, critique and analyse
Challenge her pupils but helps and advise
Meeting the goal
Meeting the goal
Of a teacher’s role
Of a student’s role
Kids become mature and give good advice!
Seeking help to uncover knowledge hidden in disguise!
I hope the poem(s) motivated you to share your knowledge and gain more wisdom by listening to stories others might tell.
