Yessir

Page 22 tonight.

Yes sir.

Essay’s due tomorrow.

Yes ma’am.

You’d better watch your mouth.

Yes sir.

You’d better do what I tell you.

Yes ma’am.

 

Are we here to learn?

No sir.

Are we here to think?

No ma’am

Did I catch you forming an independent thought?

No sir.

Now vomit meaningless information.

Yes ma’am.

 

Do we treat you with respect?

No sir.

Do we treat you like animals?

Yes ma’am.

We feed you in shifts.

Yes sir.

And educate you like a hammer educates a nail.

Yes ma’am.

 

Is this a place to learn?

No sir.

Is this a place to grow?

No ma’am.

We’ll beat the joy out of you.

Yes sir.

And hand you a diploma.

Yes ma’am.
