Year-round teachers are already carrying them around. Traditional calendar teachers see them on the horizon.
Stacks of student projects, writing assignements, and homework waiting to be graded.
This classic Richard Marx tune from 1989 goes out to all of you…
They turn you in, and the clock starts
I slowly begin to grade
I see their faces in class
And I know I need to pick up the pace
I see you clipped together
It’s gonna take forever
Wherever I go – Whatever I do
You will be right there waiting for me
Whatever it takes – or how my hand aches
You will be right there waiting for me
Get my oil changed – I grade a few
Thought I’d get more done somehow
Doctor’s waiting room – “we’re ready for you”
I’m not making a dent in this pile
My kitchen table’s overflowing
And the next project’s already going…
Wherever I go – Whatever I do
You will be right there waiting for me
Whatever it takes – even if my red pen breaks
You will be right there waiting for me
