John Key Scraped Quality Kiwi Education Poem by Terence George Craddock

it was a new kiwi cut to bone education
dumbing down brain numb dumb generation
all thumbs lower pass grade improve results

streamlined shortchanged education
a dumb dumber John Key cost cutting solution
paragraph reviews all subject option

simple sentence answers
practise build up pattern
essay required analysis

to improve brain cognitive reasoning delayed
a further few years kicked down line mental processes
involved in gaining knowledge comprehension

not valued important
kicked out of touch by government
education below world standards drops

cannot compete students
fall drop below world global standards
undervalued education drop kick standards

in depth analysis dismissed exiled
early high school previous evolution excellent
discarded torn up thrown into waste bins

huge budget increases training teachers
to teach Maori to create a compulsory state
Maori national identity was goal target

during last twenty years in focus to create
compulsory learning Maori language in schools
kiwi students dropped a minimum twenty-five percent

in ability levels in English Science Mathematics
to last place in all these subjects in the western world
according to lasted global results in these subjects

a women chosen to write educational curriculum latest
dropped three science words biology chemistry physics
from educational syllabus why because not important?
