“One size fits all” 

Laura Rogne,

If one size fits all, what of those too tall

What of those who cannot fit the mold?

Must they simply fold to a system created in times of old 

Meant to shape young minds meant to stifle and confine

Why has school become a rifle?

Sit in your seat do not speak do not sleep, 

School is important 

But so is the ability to leap,

Into creativity into fun, into laughter into puns

We wonder why school systems are failing why students are bailing

How is learning to be entertaining when all it is is training 

To fit into a mold that is hundreds of years old

Why must it be so draining? 

Intended to turn kids into the minds of the future

When it forbids any form of individuality

Taking away children's personalities, 

If one size fits all, 

Why do we drain children of who they are

The minds of the future, are molds of the past

It leaves me to wonder, how long will this last

What will it take to see

Is this the way learning should be?
