Are you a person, or a number?



Can you please differentiate that for me as well as this derivative?



Are you a 4.0?



A 2400?



Or a 36?



You have outstanding credentials.



I congratulate you



On staying up



Until the sun came



To finish that paper,



On skipping your first three periods,



To ace that one test,



It paid off in the end.



Didn’t it?

I was inspired by the demise of education in America. School has become about numbers and letters, rather than knowledge and social experiences.
