Wake up everyday to a the same say
"Right hand over your heart,begin..."
Then begins the complaining 
Every night " I stay up late to grade"
Why must you assign it if you don't want to grade it we think


Writing in class essays won't make us successful
Solving irrelevant math problems won't make us successful
Reading heroic books won't make us successful
Figuring out the scientifical answer won't make us successful
Running laps around the track won't make us successful


Why don't we concentrate on what IS going to make us successful
Why don't we learn about medical conditions to become doctors
Why don't we learn about art to become artists
Why don't we learn about music to be musicians or singers
Why don't we learn about baking to be bakers or cooking to be chefs


If we are going to use school to make us successful
Why don't we do something relavant to our future careers.

Do what will help, not what everyone does.
