procrastin

ation


hi. finals are in 2 days, so that leaves me a solid 24 hours to waste.

so, i found this poem i wrote last year for english. i really do think that society can really place way to much stress on students. and it just keeps getting worse. kids in elementary school are getting hours of homework. I never really had homework until 7th or 8th grade, maybe.

As school’s repetition steadily bores,
We wait for our sweet release from its doors.
Our hearing heightens to that of a hawk’s,
But only for the clock’s slow “tick, tick, tock.”
These great listening skills are now our friends,
Giving a perfect sense of when class ends.
Our short-term memory has been improved:
In a few days, these facts will be removed.
The public school’s goals of education
Have met the foul claws of competition.
Who even cares what impact Brown v. Board made?
As long as we beat our neighbor’s test grade.
Knowledge? We’ll save that for another day,
For we only worry about tomorrows “A.”
Our once fiery hunger for endless learning
Has been choked by our perfection yearning.
These drops of knowledge we used to savor
Have now all but lost their pleasing flavor.


just food for thought.
