assembly line
Location
i'm in a ford assembly line 'education' system;
stuff my brains with facts, then pass me on.
i'm told what to think, not how to think;
stuff my brain with 'facts', then pass me on.
i'm measured by my 'intelligence', not my intelligence;
check my brain for 'facts', then pass me on.
i'm not prepared for life, just for standardized testing;
check my brain for facts, then pass me on.
i'm supposed to venture into the world now;
but nothing useful has been put in my brain. . .
just another number, not another human being. . .
