A Trick For Teachers

Oh, lazy teachers, listen here,
A shortcut to success is oh so near.
Just give the answers on a silver platter,
No need for critical thinking, what could matter?

And why teach when you can just insist,
That memorization is the key to pass any test.
Sure, they may not understand a thing,
But hey, who needs that when passing is everything?

Then on exam day, let them cheat and fly,
Give them hints and help, why even try?
Who cares about their future or potential gain,
As long as you don't have to strain.

But wait, a conscience, what could that mean?
Maybe cheating and avoiding effort isn't so keen.
Perhaps teaching and hard work could lead to success,
But that's too much effort, so let's just regress.

So, dear lazy teachers, don't be a fool,
Just give up now, breaking educational rules.
Let's lead our students down a road of demise,
Because who needs knowledge when cheating saves lives?
