Dr. Suess Goes to ARD

As a Teacher and a Parent of a Special Ed Child - I post this poem. Enjoy!!!

Dr. Seuss Goes to ARD

Do you like the A-R-D?
I do not like the A-R-D!
I do not like them, no, not me!
We test, we check
We plan and meet
But nothing ever seems complete

Would you, could you like this form?
I do not like the forms I see
Not page 1, page 2, page 3
Another change
A new check box
I think we all have lost our rocks

Could you all meet here or there?
We could NOT all meet here or there.
We cannot all fit anywhere!
Not in a room, not in a hall
There seems to be no space at all

Would you, could you meet again?
I cannot meet again next week
I have a job!
Please hear me speak.
No, not at dusk, no not at dawn.
Oh, when, oh, when will this be done?

I cannot think, I cannot write
This does not need to be a fight
Sign here, date there
Mark this, check that
I think that I might eat my hat!

You do not like these ARDs, you say?
When next year rolls around, you may!!
I do not like these ARDs my dear...but...
Invite me, please again next year!
