Here is their letter:
We love the children, But we get tired too, Crying and poopie diapers, What else are we to do? There’s tattling and biting, Some children keep on fighting, The bright sun beams upon us and our brows fill with sweat, Hold on Melissa Wade- I’m not finished explaining yet! There are BooBoo’s that need mending, snot and mucous all over the place, even as gross as it may sound- Wekeep a smile upon our face. Is there any repreive for the weary? For us summer break does not exist, Instead we keep on teaching, But there are desires on our list. We model what the kids eat, Honestly it’s not so good, Lack of seasoning may be healthy, But we really wish they would! down with salmon tortillas, Out with Southwest Egg Bake, Come to the “light” and give us a BREAK! afterall, we sure deserve it, There have been no raises for the state, Our responsibilities keep rising, Must we continue to wait? bring adult conversations and good food, We give our best to the children daily, We empty our vessels of love, It would be wonderful to have it returned!
