School

February 8, 2014

As I am a student, I must confess,

Grades schools have become quite a mess.

Instead of focusing on teaching those that are eager to learn,They'd rather give assignments in exchange for points to earn.

Students aren't graded based on effort and their willingness to make it.

They are judged based on a random quiz grade and are forced to take it.

Schools would be better than they are right now, If they didn't teach kids what to think, but taught them how.
