(Maybe he’s right. Maybe there is something the matter with Dale.
I just don’t see how a school that has such great teachers can be bad.)
Look at this school
Isn’t it neat?
Wouldn’t you think our 5C’s are complete?
Wouldn’t you think that this school
This school really has everything?
Look at these fools
Kindness unbound
How many talents can all these peeps hold?
Looking around here you think
Sure, they are everything
I’ve got Morello and Manalo a-plenty
I’ve got Esquivel and Hernandez galore
You want Saldivar and Franke?
I’ve got just 6!
But so sad
A huge deal
They are gone…
I wanna be where these teachers are
I wanna see, wanna see them teachin’
Going around and inspiring – what do you call ’em?
Oh – kids!
Without good management, you don’t get too far
Talents are required to inspire ratchets
Teaching with AUHSD – what’s that word again?
5 C’sssssssss
Up where they teach, up where they play
So sad that they have to go all away…
Wanderin’ free – wish they could be
Part of Dale’s World
What would I give if I could teach with them forever?
What would I pay to spend a day joking with them?
Bet’cha in other schools they understand
they don’t get rid of their temporaries
Bright young teachers sick of moving’
Ready to stay
I’m ready to know what the district knows
Do they really believe in systems not silos
What’s a good teacher and why does it – what’s the word?
Leave?
When’s it my turn?
Wouldn’t I love, love to be friends with them up above?
Out of the Dale sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

This is amazing! Thank you John! I’m not as elegant with my words as you are, but I am so happy you were my neighbor this year. You are an amazing teacher and I am so excited for your future kids to have you as a teacher for many years to come! If I never come back to teach I will always be grateful I got to work with such amazing people like you. I hope some day you’re running that place. Have a great summer!
