I Will Not Let an Exam Result Decide My Fate (Extended EP Version)
Right now there is a kid finishing parents evening in a heated discussion with his mother Saying why does he have to study subjects he will never ever use in his life? And she will look at him blamed eyed stifle a sigh think for a second and then lie she'll say something along the lines of 'You know to get a good job, you need a good degree' 'And these subjects will help you get a good degree' 'We never had this opportunity when i was younger' and he will reply: 'But you were young a long time ago, weren't you mum?' And she won't respond although what he implies makes perfect sense The societies needs would have change since she was 16 But she will ignore him grip his hand more sternly and drag him to the car What she doesn't know is that she didn't ignore him just to shut him up she didn't lie because they are just returning him from parents evening and an argument in the hallway would look bad her resume she won't lie because she had just spend one hour convincing stern face teacher that she will ensure that her child studies more at home no... She will lie simply because she does not know any better herself although her whole adult life, she never used or applied pythagopras theorem pathetic fallacy and still does not know the value of X She will rely on society to tell her that her child who has one of the sharpest mind in the school is HYPERACTIVE, UNFOCUSED, EASLY DISTRACTED and WAYWARD Students... How many equations subjects and dates did you memorised just before an exam NEVER TO USE AGAIN? how many A grades did you get which were never asked for when you applied for a job? How many times have you remembered something 5 minutes just after the teacher said 'STOP WRITING' Only to receive your results one month later to realise you were only 1 mark short of the top grade? Does that mean remembering 5 minutes earlier would've made you more qualified for a particular job? We all have different abilities thought processes experiences and genes so why is a class full of INDIVIDUALS tested by the SAME MEANS? So that means Cherrelle thinks she's dumb because she couldn't do a couple of sums And if this issue is not addressed properly it then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy Then every school has the audacity to have a policy on equality Huh... The irony! ex-am(s)/are The same society that sells products to promote Natural Hair Looks Smooth Complexion with the model on the box half photoshopped and has fake lashes and hair extensions With pastors that preach Charity but own private jets Imams that preach against greed but are all FAT Parents that say they want 'educated kids' but constantly marvel at how rich Richard Branson is GOVERNMENTS that preach peace, but endorse wars that say they believe so much in the importance of higher education and further learning Then why increase tuition fees EVERY SINGLE YEAR? I believe Miss Jefferson when she took me into the office and said that my exams would be imperative to my success Cause we were taught to always follow when Miss Jefferson led Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But then i took Jefferson out of the equation and learned to think for myself I realized, we were taught to always follow when Misled Huh... The irony! test us with tests, but the finals are never final Because they never prepare us for the biggest test, which is survival And what i suggest is fairly outlandish, So I do not expect everyone to understand this Except for kid that knows that it feels like to be worth NO MORE THAN THAT D OR THAT A that you get on results day And the ones whose best stories were never good enough for you English teacher Because apparently you missed out key literal techniques did not follow the class plan and the language was too 'informal' for him to understand But then he'd reference Hamlet and Macbeth And you'd fight the urge to express your contempt by partially clenching your fist with only your medium finger left protruding in the middle of your hand And asking if he was aware that Shakespeare was known as the innovator of slang Or the kid at the back of the class who thinks: 'Why am I studying something that doesn't fuel my drive?' But then when confronted with a maths problem his eyes come alive So this one is of my generation the ones who found what they were looking for on Google the ones who followed their dreams on Twitter Pictured their future o Instagram accepted destiny on Facebook this one is of my 'failures' and my 'dropouts' for my unemployed graduates my shop assistants cleaners and cashiers with bigger dreams My self-employed entrepreneurs my world-changers and my dream-chasers Cause the purpose of Why I Hate School But Love Education But to let them know that whether 72 88 44 68 WE WILL NOT LET EXAM RESULTS DECICE OUR FATE Peace.
