America Needs A New Schools System Poem by Suzanna Chevalier

Let's teach our kids new philosophies in school
like honesty, self expression, creativity
where everything is fresh and new.
Use the right brain thinking to come up
with new ways—
Not all this memorization that gets in the way.
Teach children to be there for another—
not this completion of raising hands—
let all kids feel like they have the answer
cherish all opinions to better understand.
Promote all arts and music too
America needs to let the children
express themselves and be listened too.
Ask the children what they think they would do?
Change the way children are taught and to think things through.
