Educating A Spieces
The cover
Assumes learning difficulties
Defining rules
Stifles natural intelligence
Knowledge comes in different forms
Blindly taking tests
Jumping through hoops
Is only repetition
Learned responses
To run with convention
Reward the monkey
For all the right moves

Decided this didn’t deserve to languish in the Overflow Thread so have given it a title, not sure about theme though

You know, Brother, this could be everyone who has struggled in
ORGANIZED education and Testing.
I understand the hoops, as You put it, individuals who learn differently
struggle with life the way it's expected in our Societies.
Gosh, how i know that growing up.
Very relatable spill
and delighted You shared here as i don't always read the overflow thread.

That’s the trouble, we are supposed to follow the rules and not question. Those that have through the years have been accused of heresy and often ridiculed or executed

This is so true, agree with all of you. I wished it weren’t so, the way organized education is. Beautifully written, as always.

Literacy ain't education in my humble view.
You nailed it Colin. I am glad that you gave this poem a home.👍
