Teachers Leave those Kids Alone


adapted from Let Kids Rule the School

Abolish bells
Indie Rock rages during passing periods
Long, meandering breaks between class to talk, eat, sleep…

Actually, just kill classes
Forget English
Let’s read magazines,
write novels using text messaging

All we need of math
We’ll learn from planning road trips
How much are concert tickets?
How many miles is the tour?
                                   
Science is easy
Hydroponics, grow-lights
As many plants as we can pack in

History of music
or rebellion
(just not all that 1960’s s***)

Form a band for music
Learn graffiti for art

Design  video games for tech

Send teachers on vacation
We’ll determine what we need to know
