What is Education?


"Every child should have the opportunity to receive a quality education"

-Bill Frist

 

How do we define education?

By the time we sit in a classroom?

Or by the pages of notes we take?

What about every test we take?

 

How do we define education?

By the number of lunches we take?

Or by the look of our changing grades?

What about how we do on finals?

 

But is a real education?

Here is a proposition for you...

Teachers, get your students' interest

We learn hands-on, not by powerpoint

 

But is that real education?

Here is a proposition for you...

Parents, care about your kids learning

Be involved and help them love their school

 

But is that real education?

Here is a proposition for you,,,

Students, your education will not

be handed to you. Fight for what's right!
