Change the system, change the mind

Schools so stagnet 

'Copy this down' 'Remember this for the test'

Teaching to the tests. 

Memorizing not learning.

All my years of youth wasted.

On lessons I cannot recall.

I want to learn, not remember.

Make me love school,

not dread tests.

I want to feel like education is an opportunity.

Not an obligation I must bare.

So I shall change.

the way things are done.

"What do you think?" "Tell me how this could react"

Give students a lesson and they will remember to the test.

Give them an adventure and they'll recall all their lives.

Give our students the schooling they want. To make them want to learn.

Than making them study and memorize.
