If a kid is sitting in the back of a classroom,
And they crack, smash and burn,
Does the class take notice?
Do they notice when they start
becoming late to class?
Do they notice when he stops
participating in class?
Does the teacher notice when his
grade drops?
Does the teacher notice when the
work is half done?
What about when that student
comes in with red and puffy
eyes? Tears running down their
cheek.
What happens when that students
doesn't show up to class?
When the student misses one day?
Then two? And then three and
four.
There's no way to know.
When the world caves in on
someone without notice,
How do you help them?
How do you comfort them?
How do you walk up to them and lie
to their face by saying "it'll be
okay"?
How does a student break?
How does a student reach the
point of not only creeping to the
edge, but collapsing off the
edge?
Who pushes them? Who is the
once that causes such pain?
Teachers.
