Education
Welcome to education, we will mold your mind into something you never imagined
We will help form you into a person with intelligence and significance
But wait there are a few things you might need to know in order to stay and be apart of this place
Listen to what we say, originally is faulty, creativity has no place here, and this is a race among your peers, enjoy your stay and remember this is all to survive in the world some day
What they forgot to mention is how the system works
A list of questions and limitation of numbers will not determine the knowledge of someone's abilities
You think that a percentage can place a title on our worth and acceptance into a field or subject
We want to improve and succeed at the things we hope to someday do, but how can we when all you teach us is how to get around questions and chose the right answers when they are ultimately trying to trick us
In the end they don’t prove that we know anything at all with knowledge just that once again we aren't enough for something
Ask us questions and make us choose letters that are there to make us fail, an unfair advantage if you aren’t naturally smart
There is more ways than one to learn and test a person's knowledge, some prove it more because not everyone can take a test and pass
People are all different and have different ways of doing things you can’t force them to change and fit into a standard that fits your criteria
Also what you are really teaching us when putting everything to a score or test
To make us question our knowledge and make us feel worse than we already do
Making us then realize we aren’t good enough to succeed on our own that we legit can’t do anything for ourselves.
Creating us to not believe in ourselves no matter what we do because it's all based on a score at the end of a term or time
Put into a file from a small age to build it into a portfolio of expectations and standards
For if you don’t meet the percentage on a paper you are no longer worth working on, at some point there is no point to you
With this system we might as well change our names to numbers because that’s all that seems to matter within our world
A number that matches with a letter completes you for the first 18 years of your life
So welcome to education we hope to corrupt you,
that you’ll follow the standards we put before you
Give you a name based on what you earned
Because that’s all you ever deserved
Here are lessons and rules you must obey and maybe just maybe you’ll be good enough someday
