Doctor Grandma

I embrace my mediocrity.

We can’t all be superhuman teachers

who fly around the room to get students’ attention,

have exciting assignments that move like a video,

and teach you nuclear physics.

I do the best I can

with creative power points,

a few interactive games,

and questions.

This is not Dead Poet’s Society.

I am not Robin Williams,

I will not stand on chairs,

reciting Shakespeare,

inspire you to write a masterpiece.

But I know my field,

challenge you to think outside the box,

and I give you my entire heart.

Put that in your student evaluation.
