Today's Education

Today's Education

A Poem by lilrissriss
"

Literally all of my anger towards today's public school systems written in rhyming stanzas.

"
You know that there's a problem,
with today's education,
when students are dropping out and
parents are becoming impatient.
Kids are up all night,
with school work, stressed out.
They'll study all they possibly can,
still their averages go down.
With too crammed schedules
and only time for school,
there is no room for other responsibilities,
it's honestly just cruel.
Sick and tired of being called
individuals and different,
when we're learning the same exact way
as our classmates, we're livid.
Tell me how this is,
that we're expected to succeed,
when he learns with these methods,
and I learn differently?
Now teachers are grading with disappointment,
where did they go wrong?
But it's really the method of teaching,
memorization all along.
There will be no more college education
because 13 years of this was enough.
We'll have no jobs and no money,
and they think school's "helping" us?
The biggest concern today is
when will we use this s**t in real life?
Why should we learn past the basics and
why should we waste the youth's time?
Who cares if school hasn't taught us
to hold a career, raise a family, own a house.
We need to know how to graph the diameter of a triangle,
do you hear how stupid that sounds?
It's mind blowing how the average
of high school drop outs increase.
Because we'd probably rather be illiterate,
so we can wake up at ease.
