Good Student vs. Bad Student

I'm A good Student                                                                       I'm a Bad Student

I have good grades and easy A's                                              I have bad grades with no A's 

And I do what the teacher says                                                  I don't always do what the teacher says                 

I aspire only to pass                                                                     I want to learn and ask questions

I can't wait to get out of this class                                               Why do I keep getting detentions

Gotta keep my head down                                                          I'll raise my hand in class

Don't want to be found                                                                 I want to learn hoping to pass

The teacher might see me                                                          Go ahead ask me a question

And ask for the square root of 3                                                 The answer's 1.73205087

Or about  J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye                           I think Holden Caulfield's just afraid of life

Or what were Julius Caesar's last words before he died      "Et tu brute" to the man with a knife

What is a Bunsen Burner                                                             It brings fire

What is the capital of New Hampshire                                      Concord

I don't know!                                                                                    I know!

I'm just A good Student !                                                               I'm a Bad Student

I don't cause trouble                                                                      I want to absorb your knowledge

I stay in my own bubble                                                                I want to get in to college

I get good grades                                                                           My grades do not reflect me

And all of the easy A's                                                                   I am more than the score you see

I aspire to pass                                                                               I want to learn from this class

And to be done with this class                                                     Even when the teacher kicks my *ss

I'm A good Student                                                                        I'm just a Bad Student

I've got the letter to prove it                                                          But my brain doesn't know it

Glad you liked it. It's been awhile since I've written poems. Hope this is good enough for a scholarship.

According to essayhelpdeal.co.uk write a decent understudy focuses in class, studies to set him up/herself for tests, finishes assignments and turns them in immediately, goes to class, is not late, is not troublesome, is amiable to the instructor and kindred understudies. A terrible understudy is inverse these qualities.
