Poetry Foundation has a nice feature on poetry about teachers and students. A little arch (PF mostly is), but still full of nice things, including an opening Frost quote:
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
a good bit from another poet:
“Ars Poetica #100: I Believe” by Elizabeth Alexander
Poetry (and now my voice is rising)
is not all love, love, love,
and I’m sorry the dog died.
You can use the links as a kind of poetry play list to check out the poems.
