So, I don't feel dumb at all... I actually went to Kos' site, but as always can never find this there... I find that site nearly impossible to navigate and I know I'm not alone. Perhaps you could have included a real link.

And Rhee Shall Have No Dominion

And Rhee shall have no dominion.
Educated naked they shall be one
With the test in the wind and the trailer room;
When desks are picked clean and the clean desks gone,
They shall have books at elbow and foot;
Though they teach gladly they shall be fully trained,
Though charter schools scream, they shall teach again;
Though reformers be lost, teachers' passions shall not;
And Rhee shall have no dominion.

And Rhee shall have no dominion.
Under TFA's cadaver, rotting and free,
She, lying oft, shall die speedily;
Twisting on racks when her lies give way,
Strapped to a truth, yet she shall not take;
Students in her hands shall snap in two,
And the truths of her own scandals run her through;
Split all ends up the true teachers shan’t crack;
And Rhee shall have no dominion.

And Rhee shall have no dominion.
No more may failed children cry at her ears
Or promises break loud on failed policy;
Where played, a student may play not, no more;
Nor take a test to a holden-backed score,
Though reformers be mad and send students to jail,
Heads of the teachers to hammer through nails;
Break every child till the system breaks down,
And Rhee shall have no dominion.

My sincere and heartfelt apologies to Dylan Thomas.
