I have taught kids deeper wisdoms and life skills through song lyrics for years and recieved the most amazing responses. "Your songs are saving my life!" "Your Nonconformist song defined me. Bullies don't stand a chance!" and "OMG, I sing your song Whatever whenever my friends get all weird and it so helps. Thank you thank you!"
The teacher I have now partnered up with to create lesson plans around this material told me at the start of our project; "Most teachers really do want to cover life skills but there is just so little time in a day!" So we've made our material easy to throw in as a "brain break."
Teachers teach because they love kids--we need to SO honor them. We're at TeachersPayTeacers now (a site full of teachers) and I'm amazed daily by all the heart and caring pouring out of these wonderful human beings. It's really touching.
I am sensing the author of this piece is not complaining, he's trying to fill in the gaps. Here's hoping more and more teachers are offered materials they can include easily in their classrooms to cover life's other important topics. Because there are only so many hours in a day!
