My School

How does a kid who loves learning come to hate a place designed for teaching? School was like a military prison in my experience get in at 0900 hours sharp with no resistance, you'll speak when you are spoken to, you are inferior to anyone older than you, shut up and mindlessly accept what we tell you or you will be punished, I don't care that you say 2+2 is 4 when I say its 3 then its 3 I am right because you are smaller than me How does a kid who loves learning come to hate a place designed for teaching? The innocent excitement of a child who is learning crushed under the cold weight of authoritarian might you better shut up and keep out of sight because if you dont fit into the picture of what you should be loneliness in the corridor is all you will see And its not just the teachers who want you to conform anyone whose different the other children will scorn Don't get too far ahead or the teacher will give you no time and the kids will take note and you'll be the blunt of the next malious rhyme. How does a kid who loves learning come to hate a place designed for teaching? The desperation of tying to understand a system that feels opressive that everyone says is so good for you its impressive that simultaneously tells you that the things that you love most are too unusual for this educational host and if you and the other kids arent the same you better fight before they gang up on you and start to bite How does a kid who loves learning come to hate a place designed for teaching? They say all of your passions can't fit into the picture while they force me to read often incorrect literature They say your only goal in life is to get a job and make somebody rich who you think is a n*b The teachers in school think of you as a fool destined to be just another industry tool
