Misinformation of Education
Clink, clink, you are now in the sunken place
The place where schooling is the pathway to success
Mainstream Success
Here is what to do
Memorize, Memorize, Memorize, Memorize
The quadratic formula, Pythagorean theorem
Remember, say it after me
x= −b ±√ b2−4ac/2a a2 + b2 = c2
Study, Study, Study, Study,
Khan Academy, College Board, ACT Inc. are your friends, your life
SATs, ACTs, AP Tests,
They bring the best.
Remember, Remember, Remember, Remember,
It may be stressful but…
Spring showers bring may flowers
Love me, love me, tell me how much you love me
Why do you pick me?
Tell me, Tell me, Tell me, Tell me,
In 500 words or less
But why should I pick you?
Rare books, study abroad, residential colleges,
Small campus, best professors, beautiful campus
Clash, boom, crash, you are no longer in the sunken place
Intelligence does not equate to education
Education does not equate to success
Successful people do not always come from amazing schools
Schools that are $60,000 a year
Years where you have to work after college you pay back loans
Why do we have to?
Why do we need to go to college?
What is the point?
Maybe--
We are all overeducated overthinking people
Creating ideas as we go along,
Maybe there is a better purpose
Or maybe this is our purpose
Or maybe---
This is all pointless
