Teach to the Test


The test at the end means nothing

What can a standardized test teach me about life?

Teach me tools to grow

Not tools to take a test

 

The test at the end means nothing

Thirteen years of them and still I don’t care

Teach me to manage my stress

Not to manage a test

 

The test at the end means nothing

American tests are a joke

Teach me to learn

Let the test burn

Don’t tell me about a standardized test
