We Are Human Beings Not Industrial Machines
Location
In this world of constant change and revelation
Students everywhere are disengaged from their education
Forced to complete mundane assignments
That bury their creativity and excitement
Trapped in a system of intellectual conformity
Their various talents are left to atrophy
In a system of uniformity and standardization
They are drained of their creativity and imagination
In this world of talent and diversity
Many are unqualified in the eyes of the university
A culture that favors academic performance
Over intellectual qualities of equal importance
Such a narrow view of intelligence
Overlooks the beauty of human elegance
The dominant culture of standardized testing
Is causing more problems than it's addressing
Personalized education is the best thing
Raise the status of the teaching profession
Finland has already learned this important lesson
Support and invest in treating teachers as professionals
They are teaching the new generations of intellectuals
Create a curriculum that offers dynamic and diverse possibilities
And students will amaze you with their talents and abilities
One size does not fit all
Disenthrall yourself from this idea
Because we are human beings
Not industrial machines
