The Question


Teachers, my mother was a teacher, so understand

my critique is not overly critical, but more just critical thinking 

simple thoughts that occurred while you were speaking

I know some of you try for us and I notice

I think you may fail to put things in focus ,

Yes, all history is valuable knowledge, 

That without, one's country history is certain to repeat 

And math is a universal language, not to be rid of even after college

Most don't understand that language is essential

Therefore,english gets a pass too since our  is one of the hardest

But, what you fail to see or don't know how to explain

is why most should care about the things you tell

why is aristotle remembered, why does algebra matter

 does any of this important study material 

retain importance immediately

in life outside of the classroom?
