Lyrical Analysis of...

We will not let exam results decide our fate

  1. Right now
  2. There is a kid finishing parents' evening in a heated discussion with his mother
  3. Saying, why does he have to study subjects he will never ever use in his life?
  4. And she will look at him blanked eyed, stifle a sigh, think for a second and then lie
  5. She'll say something along the lines of:
  6. "You know to get a good job, you need a good degree and these subjects will help
  7. you get a degree, we never had this opportunity when I was younger".
  8. And he will reply:
  9. "But you were young a long time ago, weren't you mum?"
  10. And she won't respond although what he implies makes perfect sense that
  11. societies needs would have changed since he was 16
  12. But she will ignore him, grip his hand more sternly and drag him to the car
  13. What she doesn't know is that she didn't ignore him just to shut him up
  14. She didn't lie because they are just returning him from parents' evening
  15. And an argument in the hallway would look bad on her resume
  16. She won't lie because she had just spent the last one hour convincing
  17. a stern face teacher that she would ensure that her child studies more at home
  18. No! She will lie simply, because she does not know any better herself
  19. Although all her adult life, she has never used or applied
  20. Pythagorean theorem, Pathetic fallacy, and does not know the value of "X"
  21. She will rely society to tell her child who has one of the sharpest mind in the school, is hyperactive, unfocused, easily distracted and wayward
  22.  
  23. Students!
  24. How many equations, subjects and dates did you memorize just before an exam
  25. never to use again?
  26. How many "A" grades did you get, which were never asked for when applying for
  27. a job?
  28. How many times have you remembered something 5 minutes just after the
  29. teacher said: "Stop writing"
  30. Only to receive your results a month later to realize that you were only 1 mark
  31. short of the top grade?
  32. Does that mean remembering 5 minutes earlier would've made you more
  33. qualified for a particular job?
  34. Well, on an application form it would have
  35. We all have different abilities, thought processes, experiences and genes
  36. So why is a class full of individuals tested by the same means?
  37. So that means Cherrelle thinks she's dumb, because she couldn't do a couple
  38. sums
  39. And if this issue is not addressed properly, it then becomes a self fulfilling
  40. prophecy
  41. Then every school has the audacity to have policy on equality
  42. Huh, the irony!
  43.  
  44. Exams are society's methods of telling you what you're worth
  45. But you can't let society tell you what you are
  46. Cause this is the same society that tells you that abortion is wrong, but then
  47. looks down on teenage parents!
  48. The same society that sells products to promote nature hair, looks and smooth
  49. complexion with the model on the box, half photoshopped, and has fake lashes and hair extensions
  50. With pastors that preach charity, but own private jets
  51. Imams that preach against greed, but are all fat
  52. Parents that say they want "educated kids" but constantly marvel at how rich
  53. Richard Branson is
  54. Governments, that preach peace, but endorse war, that say they believe so
  55. much in the importance of higher education and further learning
  56. Then why increase tuition fees every single year?
  57. I believed Miss Jefferson when she took me into the office, said that my exams
  58. would be imperative to my success
  59. Because we were taught to always follow when Miss Jefferson led
  60. Then I took Jefferson out of the equation and learned to think for myself
  61. I realized, we were always taught to follow when misled
  62. Huh, the irony!
  63.  
  64. Test us with tests, but the finals are never final
  65. Because they never prepare us for the biggest test which is survival!
  66. And what I suggest is fairly outlandish
  67. So I don't expect everyone to understand this
  68. Except for the kid that knows what it feels like to be worth no more than that D
  69. or that A that you get on results day
  70. And the ones whose best stories were never good enough for your English
  71. teacher
  72. Because apparently you missed out key literal techniques
  73. Did not follow the class plan,
  74. And the language was too "informal" for him to understand
  75. But then he'd reference Hamlet and Macbeth
  76. And you'd fight the urge to express your contempt by partially
  77. clenching your fist with only your middle finger left protruding in the middle of your
  78. hand
  79. And asking if he was aware that Shakespeare was known as the innovator of slang
  80. Or the kid at the back of the class who thinks:
  81. "Why am I studying something that doesn't fuel my drive?"
  82. But when confronted with a maths problem his eyes come alive
  83.  
  84. So this one is for my generation,
  85. the ones who found what they were looking for on Google,
  86. the ones who followed their dreams on Twitter,
  87. Pictured their future on Instagram, accepted destiny on Facebook.
  88. This one's for my "failures" and "dropouts", for my unemployed graduates, my
  89. shop assistants, cleaners and cashiers with bigger dreams,
  90. My self employed entrepreneurs, my world changers and my dream chasers!
  91. Cause the purpose of "Why I hate school, but love education" was not to initiate a worldwide debate,
  92. But to let them know that whether 72 or 88, 44 or 68,
  93. We will not let exam results decide our fate
  94.  
  95. Peace.
