Inequitable Testing
‘Buzz Buzz’
Off goes the timer.
It’s forever been a heart-dropping reminder.
“I can’t do this, I’m awful at tests”
Even so, I always give my best.
But reading 6 pages in 5 minutes isn’t my specialty,
I tend to approach these things so dreadfully.
How fair is it, tests being timed,
When I can barely evaluate what’s in my mind.
My friend has that thing, dyslexia they call it,
How can she pass these things, they expect her to do every bit.
If I can barely pass, how can she?
No one even listens to our begging pleas.
Extension on time, a little fairness?
No, of course not, that’d raise questions from the parents.
What is this crap, a learning deprivation?
Oh yeah, they call this education.
