It Is A New Age


Discussions, notes and overly depicting

Rubrics confining children’s natural creativity 

 

No more creative oppressions that’s what I favor

It´s time to throw away the Age of Enlightenments educational crutch

 

Our founding fathers wheel barrowing us by age group to school

forcing us to comply by their classes and rules

Why should it matter if John can paint but doesn´t understand fractions?

What if I don´t want to take AP calculus?

 

Instead of shoveling general education down my throat,

Medicating me and telling me not to smoke,

Why can´t we individualize children’s learning to better humanity

 

All the while making them happy?
