Never Let An Exam Result Decide Your Fate by ruksylaser(m): 7:29pm On Jul 14, 2015 |
How many equations, subjects and
dates did you memorize just before an
exam never to use again?
How many "A" grades did you get,
which were never asked for when
applying for a job?
How many times have you
remembered something 5 minutes just
after the teacher said: "Stop writing"
Only to receive your results a month
later to realize that you were only 1
mark short of the top grade?
Does that mean remembering 5
minutes earlier would've made you
more qualified for a particular job?
Well, on an application form it would
have
We all have different abilities, thought
processes, experiences and genes
So why is a class full of individuals
tested by the same means?
So that means Cherrelle thinks she's
dumb, because she couldn't do a
couple sums
And if this issue is not addressed
properly, it then becomes a self-
fulfilling prophecy
Then every school has the audacity to
have policy on equality
Huh, the irony!
Exams are society's methods of telling
you what you're worth
But you can't let society tell you what
you are
Cause this is the same society that
tells you that abortion is wrong, but
then looks down on teenage parents!
The same society that sells products
to promote nature hair, looks and
smooth complexion with the model on
the box, half photoshopped, and has
fake lashes and hair extensions
With pastors that preach charity, but
own private jets
Imams that preach against greed, but
are all fat
Parents that say they want "educated
kids" but constantly marvel at how
rich Richard Branson is 1 Like |

ruksylaser:Test us with tests, but the finals are never final Because they never prepare us for the biggest test which is survival! And what I suggest is fairly outlandish So I don't expect everyone to understand this Except for the kid that knows what it feels like to be worth no more than that D or that A that you get on results day And the ones whose best stories were never good enough for your English teacher Because apparently you missed out key literal techniques Did not follow the class plan, And the language was too "informal" for him to understand But then he'd reference Hamlet and Macbeth And you'd fight the urge to express your contempt by partially clenching your fist with only your medius finger left protruding in the middle of your hand And asking if he was aware that Shakespeare was known as the innovator of slang Or the kid at the back of the class who thinks: "Why am I studying something that doesn't fuel my drive?" But when confronted with a maths problem his eyes come alive So this one is for my generation, the ones who found what they were looking for on Google, This one's for my "failures" and "dropouts", for my unemployed graduates, my shop assistants, cleaners and cashiers with bigger dreams, My self-employed entrepreneurs, my world-changers and my dream- chasers! Cause the purpose of "Why I hate school, but love education" was not to initiate a worldwide debate, But to let them know that whether 72 or 88, 44 or 68, We will not let exam results decide our fate |
