"One that teaches..."

Location

School is for learning, Not trying to pass tests, But all I learned is how to memorize, From repetition and added stress,  Teachers are for teaching, But they only tell, They're there for no money, It's their time that they sell,  They tell me I'm stupid, Because of  a grade, On a test that doesn't test, The connections I made,  What do we learn, Besides how to gossip, How to be corrupt, How to stay in a closet,  We don't learn about taxes, Or how to care for ourselves, How to live in this world, How to accumulate wealth,  They don't even let, Teachers be free, They keep them in a box, Which actually hurts me,  Some of the teachers, Actually have valuable lessons. Some of the teachers, Use class time as therapy sessions,  Teacher, oh Teacher, Can you not see? You're actually, Important for me,  It should be a crime, To tell you the truth, It should be a crime, To uneducate the youth,  It should be a crime, To be a teacher, "One that teaches..." -Webster, who doesn't teach.
