School
School
A teacher smiles with the bad news
He won’t get his grades, in their view
He’s wasted ten years attending school
he’s good in PE and the swimming pool
It’s last-ditch, with exams months away
At ten parent’s evenings they failed to say
Gave you no warning until it’s too late
And abandoned your child to their fate
They worry about the school’s reputation
Lied constantly about your kid’s education
Sit in the corner, out of the way, amused
Difficult to teach him, leave him confused
Previous parent’s evenings, nothing but smiles
Sent you off happy, oblivious of trials
Misled you till now, dyslexia diagnosed
Exonerates the school, who’re never exposed.
Lesson learned, school’s lie, don’t trust
At parent’s evenings, questioning a must.
