SAT writing test
Why do we students accept standardized tests?
Can all of our individual strengths be characterized by one packet?
The schools tell us to be at our standardized best.
Success: conformation, students balls, tests racquets.
We are expected to know math without calculators,
but what real life application does that give us?
Schools are supposed to prepare us, not dictate us
Who tells us to fit in with their perfect populous?
Of course the students of this world should be grateful.
We’ve learned the sum of human knowledge to this point.
But we’re forced to learn some things, it’s fateful.
To learn these things, all of us are noint.
It’s no wonder kids in schools get bad grades.
How can we do well if in this knowledge we have no passion.
Some students earn Fs some earn As.
Uncaring graders thinking not on our faces ashen.
Why do we expect the same out of different people?
Surely giving up differences is not the way to become equal.
