Teachers have to know how to write a sentence
Teacher have to know how to add a sum
Teachers have to know how to take attendance
And that June is bound to come
How to deal with a cranky parent
And keep the desks in a row
So many things a teacher has to know

Teachers have to know when kids are restless
Know when they need a break
They teach how to make good guesses
And to learn from a mistake
How to upload a report card
When the system's running slow
So many things a teacher has to know

How to deal with the behaviors that drive them nuts
How to reach every student with their ifs and ands and buts

Teachers have to know how to read the data
Teachers have to know how to give a test
Teachers have to know that love and kindness
Are a measure of success.
When to push high expectations
And when to just let go
So many things a teacher has to know

You can say that schools are changing
And who's to blame
But standing in a room of children
Is different but still the same.

Teachers have to know how to lead a lockdown
Or an active shooter drill.
practice running in a zig zag
Though they pray they never will.
And we've seen them use their bodies
To protect and take the blow
So many things a teacher has to know

A school is not a fortress
Where you can hide
There's magic going on
If you look inside

It's not what they signed up for.
It was never on their mind
When did the front of a classroom
Turn into the front line
We've got to work to stop this madness not keep the status quo
For our teachers and our children That's one thing I know

Teachers have to know how to end a sentence
Teachers have to know how to multiply
Teachers have to know how to take attendance
And look each child in the eye
Look each child in the eye
They see their students' faces
Sometimes a shadow grows
So many things every teacher knows
