school vs life

[Brian mclaughlin]

Learning school rules
rather than life
fills conversations
with nothing but strife

offense is then taken
and in foolish haste
arguments do ensue
and time goes to waste

so little accomplished
by those who do fight
and it makes no damned difference
by day or by night

[saw]

this is a pet peeve of mine...the failure of the school system to develop critical thinkers....
Education is missing half of the pieces, settling in on strictly the rote method of pushing details that aren't that earth shaking.....There are many prongs to a balanced education, many schools have given up completely on the humanities....and are teaching to The Test

of course perhaps that's not with this poem is about at all ..HA HA....at least I got to blow off some steam....HA again
