OH TUCK!

This is written in homage to my TBFF (Teacher Best Friend for Life.) She was also an English teacher, but abandoned me for easy street. She became a reading specialist. This is not to say it is an easier job, but up until this year at our school, the reading specialist worked with three - four kids per block. Well, the old reading teacher retired, and  times changed. My TBFF got certified to fill her shoes only to find they revamped the system . No more one on one with tiny little groups. She was in charge of reading strategies and maintaining the reading test scores for all 1200+ students. In my limerick poem to her, Tuck is her maiden name. Please excuse the language. ;)


A teacher that once went by Tuck

Thought reading an easier buck.

She thought there would be 

Just one, two, or three,

But she got the whole school, Oh F*#K!
