My thoughts on education - in verse, of course!
Stop pigeon-holing pupils
And setting them test after test
Just so officials can see
How each measures up to the rest
Stop pigeon-holing pupils
And making them all the same
Cos each one’s an individual
Playing a part in life’s game
Stop pigeon-holing pupils
And cramming them full of ‘stuff’
Stop stifling their natural talents -
It’s time to say enough!
Stop pigeon-holing pupils
Let them do what inspires -
And when left to their devices
They’ll follow their hearts’ desires
Stop pigeon-holing pupils
But encourage imagination
Then you’ll be amazed to see
What they can bring into creation
Stop pigeon-holing pupils
Just let them flourish and grow
Let them follow their own interests
And then just watch them go!
