Will this be on the test?

Can we use our calculators?

Just failed that, so stressed.

 

Number 7? Yeah, I guessed.

What are we even learning?

Will this be on the test?

 

I hope colleges will be impressed.

Are we studying to learn, or studying to pass?

Just failed that, so stressed.

 

Pressured to always do our best.

Sacrificing what we like for what will get us into college.

Will this be on the test?

 

How has our education system progressed?

We’re memorizing things rather than discovering things.

Just failed that, so stressed.

 

Our creativity suppressed.

Leaving us with numbers to measure our success

Will this be on the test?

Just failed that, so stressed.
