I Am Looking For A Teacher

I am looking for a teacher
Who is beautiful inside
Honest with the students
Giving them a sense of pride.
I am looking for a teacher
With a healthy self esteem
Who clearly states the rules,
And doesn’t have to scream.
I am looking for a teacher
Who creatively prepares
But whose first priority
Is to convey that she cares
I am looking for a teacher
Who is interested, not aloof
Who treats her students with respect
Even when they goof.
I am looking for a teacher
Who knows how to laugh and smile
Who enjoys what she’s doing
And goes the extra mile.
I am looking for a teacher
Who believes all students can learn
Who praises their efforts and talents
They give their best in return
I am looking for a teacher
Who communicates with parents well
Gently and carefully selecting words
When there’s a problem to tell.
I am looking for a teacher
Who fills a child with desire
To love to learn more each day
With curiosity that won’t tire.
I am looking for a teacher
Who encourages children to have a dream
To work at solving problems
Building their self-esteem.
There are some teachers out there
The kind I’m looking for
For their students’ future success
They have opened up the door.
