Teachers’ pledge
As we teachers teach with serious-
ness
Our students learn with eagerness.
As we teachers teach by no chasing
Our students learn with much ease.
As we teachers wish our students
well
Our students wish us same as well.
As our students ask of so many
quests
We teachers answers all the requests.
As our students know of what they
need
We teachers give them when in need.
As our students take us seriously
We teachers teach so vigorously.
As our students see us as parents
We teachers show we are tolerant.
As our students learn by obedience
We teachers always give guidance.
As our students are not so pam-
pered
For we teachers show we are man-
nered.
