Comprehensively Second Rate Schooling Poem by Mary Champion

What is School?
School is a place of learning -
learning how to pass exams.
School is a testing environment -
a place for tests,
for exams, mock and real,
for retakes of failed tests
and failed exams.
No time for education
unless it is in how to pass exams.
A place where you learn nothing
except how to pass exams.
The only subject taught
is Passing Exams.
The syllabus is exclusively focussed
on Passing Exams.
No time to enrich the mind
or nurture the soul -
only the maximisation of
exam passing abilities.
Successful survivors
will graduate with countless GCSE's
and multi starred A-Levels
in the only subject worthy of study -
Passing Bloody Exams!

School is a place of learning -
learning those things you are no good at.
