Poem: School is a Drag

by Alex M.

School is such a drag
Sometimes I wish I could throw it away like an old beat up rag
People get up at or before dawn
No wonder so many of them have to yawn!

With 7 different long classes to study

At the end of the day our brains feel like putty

When it comes to attendance, one second late

And it’s hours of detention for ya, mate!

Teachers either know what they’re doing, or they don’t

Teachers either give students help, or because they’re mean they won’t

Some of the things we are taught

Seem to be all for naught

We take notes galore

When we think that’s enough for now, teachers give us ten times more!

Tests and quizzes never give us a break

We finish some today, but tomorrow we have more to take!

The work students do is a pain

The homework load is insane!

Yes, school is a drag; I know

But without it what direction would our lives go?
