Let Them Be

We often want them to pay attention.
We let them sit and listen every session.

We reprimand the untoward attitude.
We let them take tests to check their aptitude.

We often confine them in the walls.
We let them talk but following the rules.

We often teach then with fervor.
But we let them learn with our favor.

Did we really let them experience to be a student?
If not, please let them be!
