When An Educational Theory Dramatically Fails Poem by Terence George Craddock

unproven education theories
ill based can undermine an
entire test education group
if the theory fails dramatically

the test group will not attain
national standards competency
forever doomed to be test
experimental class dropouts

this happened in England in
the 1960s a theory to make girls
stories interest texts dominant

to exclude boys interests texts
war adventure etc; the result girls
learned regardless excelled
reading learning from male

texts because girls possess
an innate ability to surpass
most male learning with ease
but boys literary forced to read

sowing cooking playing
with dolls stories bored
failed in mass a lost test

male generation theme doomed
