Making Education MORE Worth it in the Long Run
There is something unique about every school
Each one with their own style
With the same goal in mind for each student,
Is it really worth the while?
It is for those students who want to succeed
And for those who want to know more
They are tested and challenged each day so it seems,
But how can we be quite sure?
With organizations, programs, and boards
The system seems good at the moment,
Classes, regulations, and students
There is always room for improvement
To start, Teachers are important to education,
A “master” can help the gaining of knowledge.
And the potential they have to help
Is an important thing to acknowledge
On the downside however, it’s the ratio to note
Of students to the teachers in control
If they are unproductive and unable to focus
Its then that the chaos takes its toll
Sadly, I’ve been in classes
With the situations like so,
The students uncontrollable as a whole
The pattern was then set for no desire to know
The teacher did try, but it soon was a bust
It was probably harder than it looked
Various students would still want to learn more
But got caught in the “flow” and were “hooked.”
With no work being done, and motivation at none
It seems to be pointless to go on
What is there to do when the teacher is the struggle?
Pass the class not the teacher, is it the only way to go on?
The attitude of a class makes the difference
Such a tiny characteristic can change more than you know
Those teachers who encourage and educate
Have to balance the mix the fun and the education, ya know?
With seriousness in the teaching and remembering
Pieces of the curriculum most important
As a teacher explains each lesson
Don’t assume things are unimportant
The blessing then comes when teachers are understanding
And let the students know that they care
Even with all of the various students they have all around
Let all of them know that your there
Talk to the students, never be intimidated
Teenagers only think they know best
It’s in your best interest to then understand
That your job is not “only” to give them a test
Encourage, motivate, and educate
Add a pinch of fun and inspiration
With all of this put together, in the end
Education can be found worth it in the long run
This is all I have to say about the topic
Take and pick what you choose
Remember the goal of educating students
Because none of them we want to lose
Schools have more impact than realized
From attitudes to enforcing rules
Its time to come to a consensus,
On what we can change in our schools
