EDUCATION
"The teachers are prison guards
And the students are inmates."
The school system makes students feel trapped—students aren't learning, they're surviving. Not all students are surviving, of course, but those who are captives do not learn; they are "inmates:" they survive, they do not thrive. This student written excerpt from the poem I Hate School shows student negativity regarding the school system; it is a cry, in a sense, that shows how torturous school is for
those not engaged.
