When You’ve done all you can
When you have done all you can
When the writing’s on the wall
Just let go and say a prayer
That its enough to give it all.
There are times when nothing gets it done
You keep falling behind
The kids won’t stop and the pain won’t go
When you are losing your mind.
You make plans for learning
Plans to read - try to keep them engaged
And the distractions grow
While your patience thins
And you are feeling enraged.
One kid can wreck a lesson plan
One parent note displeased
One principal does not support
Everything a teacher needs.

Your dedication to teaching in these crazy times is admirable, a good song expressing the frustrations a lot of teachers must feel.

Love that first verse framing (so universal that it could apply to so many different things). I also love "The kids won’t stop and the pain won’t go/ When you are losing your mind."
