the teachers
miss being able to pick a child
up by the shirt collar
and smacking his bottom
with a ruler.
rapping knuckles,
sending them out into the cold
to bang erasers
against the wall,
or into a corner
with a dunce hat on his
head or
sticking a wad of chewed
gum on the offenders nose.
teachers miss being able
to threaten the children
with punishing quizzes
and tests. detention.
casting spells
upon their pointed heads
and fearing eyes.
