School vs Education. 1.2.

Hi, everyone! How’s it going‽ Still on school vs education. Let’s pick it up where we left off.

P.S: If you haven’t read the prequels, pls do. There’s a link to them at the bottom of the page.

School vs Education (Continuance)

Now, please!

I’m not saying drop out.

’Cause some schools are great

and many teachers are rare treasures.

I’m saying that there’s a difference between

people who are smart and people who score better.

I’m saying that your future is something no test will ever measure.

Even if that test begins in 3 letters like SAT, ACT.

It’s BS if they say those determine your L.I.F.E

No, your destiny is in your hands.

You must shape it to be great.

So don’t expect school to open doors

’cause it’s more likely to slam them…

in your face.

Sometimes I wonder about all the dreams lost in school

and how much potential goes to waste.

If it wasn’t for music and YouTube,

then I would have been just another lost case.

Everybody reading this,

please, close your eyes. (Postulate via imagery intended)

Imagine a child sitting in the back of some teacher’s class in some town,

he never raises his hand,

he fails most of his classes

but inside of him lives a passion.

And if nurtured and brought out

will lead him to discover the cure for cancer.

But you see,

I’m afraid that child’s gift will never come out.

He will never win the Nobel Prize award

because in class he was ignored

and his worth was judged only by his scores.

So teachers, principals, parents, advisors, and students,

I ask one more time: “ What is school for?”
