There's No Substitution for Education

You say follow the directions.

As you sit back and lose interest,

the misconceptions of the task at hand leave us wondering,

How can we lead ourselves to victory when we have no guidence?

With the tapping of pencils, the sound of the clock ticking,

our minds are filled with frustration and distraction

as you fiddle and flip through your email.

Minutes pass as students fly through the assignments, leaving others behind, not noticing their struggle.

You receive our work and question why others haven't even tried.

Without question, you move on with the lesson, leaving them in the dark,

and they'll never understand why they cannot make it in through the class. 

Without help, without teaching, we are all vulnerable to failure.

And sadly, you don't have a care in the world.
