Education has become more of a game

Trying not to be the same

To stand out above the rest

To score higher than everyone on the test

All fighting to beat out others

For colleges or for careers

Forgetting the information

As soon as we have reached the next destination

When did the knowledge become a pawn?

Remember it for a quiz, in a week it’s gone

How do we decide what is worth knowing?

Is the classroom where we do the best learning?

People absorb more outside of classes

Real life experiences are what lasts

But why listen to me?

I come from a generation that’s stupid and lazy.
