Problem Student Klaus is not like others in class He knows the answers to questions but doesn't answer or ask - His dreamy eyes often gaze out windows as he smiles at passing clouds And why is Klaus constantly doodling or writing in a language covered with shrouds? When talking of democracy this kid gets peeved When modern history is discussed invariably he's high-keyed Recently when asked about his career plan he replied with vigor "An eco-terrorist sounds grand!" Though outwardly polite I sense a palatable anger buried in his meane Is this because Klaus' parents are at minimum wage? Or his house is a rottin' urban cage? Or his family came from a war-torn place? Or do the medications he takes influence his brain? What should I do with other kids like Klaus around me? Many teachers are confused - by students who seem aloof from society. Ah, how I hate non-conformity! Education would be so much simpler if kids would simply shut up & let us mold them into what we want them to be! |
