If I hadn’t had a teacher Barry Lane

But teachers they’re just lazy It’s what you often say. They baby-sit till three o’clock and then they’re home all day and think of those vacations all that time away, If I’d never had a teacher.... If I’d never had a teacher.... If I’d never had a teacher.... W ho would I be today ?

Remember Mr. Johnston, we all played ancient Greeks. Miss Hawthorne read a poem by Keats, the tears ran down her cheeks. and what about Miss Foley, her class was so much fun. I was her favorite student we say in unison.

Her name was Caroline Foley

And she taught 4 th grade.

I was her favorite student

I thought for three decades.

She read my stories to the room

I sat beside her desk.

I loved the way she sang to us

I even loved her tests.

Billy is a scientist Jane, she reads the news. Sarah is a doctor now Phil just gave up booze. We met at the reunion and talked about the past. Who was your favorite teacher? What was your favorite class?

But teachers they’re just lazy that’s  what the people say. They baby-sit till three o’clock and then they’re home all day.

And think of those vacations, all that time away. If I’d never had a teacher, I’d still turn out okay.

Miss Foley never married she never had offspring unless you count the six hundred she cheered on to sing. We rarely come to visit her we hardly ever write. but she follows us around each day and sits with us each night.

She had a lot of textbooks

she left them on the shelf. Miss Foley taught with projects, we wrote some books ourselves. I studied the Egyptians, that Pharaoh of the sun. I still have my cardboard pyramid, my tomb of Achnaton.

She rarely lost her temper but when she did we knew and later she’d apologize and we’d say sorry too. She wasn’t always perfect but she usually was kind and she had a way of holding up a mirror to our minds.

But teachers they’re just lazy that’s  what the people say. They baby-sit till three o’clock and then they’re home all day. And think of those vacations, all that time away. If I’d never had a teacher, I’d still turn out okay.

Oh ,you, who pay the taxes! Oh ,you, who make the laws! Remember all your teachers and cherish them because, You wouldn’t be so self assured. No, you wouldn’t be so smart if you hadn’t had a Miss Foley to hold you in her heart.
