There is no quick and easy way
To talk about our Mr. J.
Yet I must try my best to say
Why he deserves your vote today.
If a poem could summarize
Why Mr. J should get the prize
Then I would gladly volunteer
To write down what you need to hear.
The problem is – he’s just too great!
A team of poets, working late
Would struggle to enumerate
And finish by the deadline date!
Where to begin? How does one start?
His epic-ness is off the chart!
No one else could play his part-
He leads us with a lion’s heart!
He teaches Bible, history, lit.-
But no- that’s not the half of it!
The shoes he wears -who else could fit?
He’s a man of steel and grit!
He’ll trim the hedge and shovel snow.
Before and after school you know
You’ll find him working long and late
The man has so much on his plate!
Here’s something you would never think -
He can fix the bathroom sink
And paint the walls from gray to pink.
From no job will this great man shrink!
Counselor to one and all,
In our eyes he’s ten feet tall!
We know that we can always call
On Mr. J so we won’t fall!
Overwhelmed and want to quit?
Mr. J won’t hear of it!
His encouragement will fit
And help you climb out of the pit.
A humble man with standards high
Let’s write his name across the sky!
And even though this poem is lame,
He still deserves a bit of fame.
So put a sticker on his wall-
Make it enormous – after all
You know that no one can be found
To match our hero the whole world ’round!
I’m sure you’ve read a lot of stuff
About this man, but not enough
Can e’er be said to fully list
His qualities – you get the gist!
It’s obvious why I recommend -
His accolades just have no end.
And so the message that I send
Is “Vote for Mr. J” – the end!

This is a guest post from Brandon Verbeek who was one of Mr Burns’ students. He wants you to vote for Franklin Burns for the QuickSchools Teacher of the Year 2012 award. QuickSchools is a fully-online school management system.
My name is Brando Verbeek and I would like to nominate Franklin L. Burns for teacher of the year for the many years of teaching service with special needs students. From another perspective I would like to nominate Mr. Burns for changing my life. I first met Mr. Burns at the young age of 9. I still remember the day vividly. I was at Hickman Park yelling and cursing at a teenager named Nick. Mr. Burns was nineteen at the time stopped playing basketball and walked over and asked if I was ok. I wasn’t happy because the teenager was picking on me. Mr. Burns ask the teenager to leave me alone and he walked me home and from that day Mr. Burns became my big brother. Mr. Burns left for college that September but he did not forget about me. He would come and visit me every Friday night. He would stop by my house and see how I was doing in school. He would wake up early Saturday morning to play football and basketball at my house. My whole family loved him. As I became older my sisters and I would stay the weekend with Mr. Burns and his wife. We would play video games, eat pizza, and go play basketball. When I was fourteen years old Mr. Burns invited me to his bachelor party and he made sure there wasn’t anything inappropriate during the party. He even let me record his wedding and I caught the garter belt when he threw it over his shoulder. When I was in high school, I was sent to an alternative school because of my choices. Mr. Burns would come and visit me at school and bring lunch from McDonalds or Burger King. I felt so special after he left because all my friends would tell me that I was lucky to have him as a brother. Today I strived to be like Mr. Burns. I’m twenty-five years old now and I have a little baby boy. I reminisce the fun times I had with Mr. Burns and I try my best to emulate him. I believe Mr. Burns is one of the greatest individuals that have ever lived on earth and he has changed my life. I hope he wins teacher of the year and I hope my heart felt story is the reason why he wins.
Sincerely,
Brandon Verbeek
This is a guest post from Tara Burns in support for Franklin Burns for QuickSchools Teacher of the Year award. QuickSchools.com is a fully-online school management system.
Saint Tower Academy was founded when the local school district Mr. Burns was teaching at had changed their instructional models for the self-contained students. Mr. Burns is a strong advocate for his students’ education and his expertise as the students’ teacher was being disregarded and students’ potentials were not being met. In addition to that, parents of Mr. Burns’ students’ were asking him to challenge their child more in the classroom. Being limited in what he could do in the self-contained classroom, Mr. Burns decided it was finally time to begin the school he was already working towards. The goal of the school is to give an education to students that need additional modification or accommodations to be successful in the classroom.
Mr. Burns has always been a very dedicated and passionate teacher even before he started teaching in the classroom. When I first met Mr. Burns, he was a coaching student in basketball as well as being a mentor to his neighbors’ son and daughters, always giving them the chance to work towards their goals and guiding them in the most positive way he knew. Mr. Burns has always had a lifetime goal to educate students and provide them with as much support and dedication he received as a special education student himself. Once he completed his degree at the University of Houston-Downtown, he began his plan of opening his own school. Since beginning teaching in 2003, he has taught a variety of students with disabilities and concerns. The one trait that made Mr. Burns stand out from other teachers I have seen, was his focus on what the students were able to do, their strengths, and build their education from there. When Mr. Burns finished his master’s degree in Special Education, he was very excited to open his own private school and have the opportunity to truly let his passion and dedication shine. He teaches students beginning at their strengths and learning modalities focusing on the positive and working out the negatives. I have seen students grow tremendously in not only their learning but in their behavior as well and taking responsibility for their actions and behaviors. He truly deserves to be teacher of the year!
