Hey Janice and Roger, Really nice work.

I've been wanting to write something about teachers for a while, I guess since Wisconsin, and now Florida and so many other Governors seems to think they are useless scapegoats. I do not like the image teachers have to live with in the media's public eye. But, I find all the time that isn't really the case. I see, nearly everyday, America's true sentiment toward teachers and it's just not what Politicians are trying to make it into. People still admire teachers, and the profession.

You're lyric is a great example of truth. So thank you for unknowingly supporting my point of view. I think I may still continue to develope ideas for a lyric of my own as it was a bit different in direction, but still intended as a sentimental tribute to the professionals who gave birth to me and have loved me my entire life.

When you set this to music I'll be interested in seeing how this meaning comes thru;

"Now you ask me how I know…..

Yeah, I guess you’re right….I’m Just a Teacher"

To me, "You ask how could I know" seems to work better, but again this is my trip in reading lyrics without knowing the authors melody, but using the melody in my own head while reading.

So kudos on a well written, current subject lyric.

Tom

P.S. This lyric has been edited because a teacher once told me to proof read everything before handing it in.
