My response to attitudes that it seems, more and more, ‘anything goes’ when it comes to schooling.

EDUCATION IN THESE MODERN TIMES

In these modern times,

I muse and suppose,

We have to be happy,

That anything goes.

Uniforms are out,

Other dressing is in,

To express pride in one’s school,

Is now a sin.

Neat, tidy hair,

NO we loudly say,

To be unkempt and untidy,

Is the new, modern way.

Much more than appearance,

School is a chore,

With each passing day,

Students find learning a bore.

Academics are out,

Good times are the go,

And it’s no longer true,

You reap what you sow.

Deep learning has gone,

Fluffy subjects are in,

Too much pretending,

Where study has been.

We keep on with the pretence,

Modern schooling is good,

Replace fine traditions,

‘Fashion’ says that we should,

But fret not or worry,

All will pass for sure,

Because the word ‘fail’,

Is an issue no more.
