School

Posted on October 14, 2015 by Nadine

Standard

Oh school I don’t miss your prison

Where we were held as hostages for long and boring eight hours

I don’t miss listening to the ticks of the clock ticking on the wall

Waiting for the bell to ring

I don’t miss students’ obsession and anxiety about grades instead of knowledge

Oh, don’t you see that you turned the brilliant minds

Into a dying flame

Oh, school you’re just a factory for making future robots

Who follow the rules without questioning

How sad. Education should be inspiring, blissful and transcendental. How can they turn it into fear-ridden drudgery?

  Indeed, it is boring system that doesn’t encourage creativity or individualism but it focuses mainly on memorizing boring lessons

    What kind of student I was?
    Many kinds. I changed many times. But I am proud to have organized many wrestling matches in school and invented many natural gymnastics tricks with a bunch of friend–for both of them I was canned by teachers LOL 😀

  Well I have mixed feeling about school, sometimes like you said it was not my favorite place because of the boring system but in the same time I had the most wonderful time with my friends in the school, our laugh was the loudest, oh to be 14 again 😀

I must have been a dullard. I loved school, but wait, I grew up on a farm and didn’t get to see my friends any other time. When we were home, we were working most of the time.

  That doesn’t make you a dullard =) on the contrary you found the school as an atmosphere for social gathering since you didn’t have much opportunities to meet your friends or people about the same age unless being in school. Oh the memories we have with our friends back at school are the best ❤
