Our "Investment"
Everyone's looking to make the money that'll support them enough. We all know it, we constantly hear it the complaints how the economy is too rough. Some of us, in hopes of a more ends need, we turn to investments, hopefully securing our more perfect future, when we need to look to things mothers and fathers should really nurture. This thing we should nurture is what I'd call a real student. But then again, how are we suppose to do this when students turn in assignments in hopes of a decent grade. There is no lying, all they end up doing is degrade. Then again, whats the point of a test? They're as easy as 1,2,3 as long as I have my cheat sheet reading a, b, and d. Ahhh, the life of our investment. But what can we expect when the people to raise them can't even afford to be here, their life saving payment is no more than mere. No wonder they just write "A pleasure to teach!" instead of a students real characteristics, or substitute temporary memorization for true learning, and even As and Bs for true understanding. Maybe it would be different if the student was happy, but lets face it, they're as happy as a student. There is no room for personality to thrive, when out there they can barely survive. But again, what do you expect when nerds think its never good enough. At the same time, bullies bombard them with bullets, when it's really their home life thats rough. But it's these same bullies who teach smart girls, "Dumb is cute." Lets face it, because of this, their chances of a more perfect future is just minute, Don't worry, there is still the few students who dare to dream of their trip to the moon. "Don't worry Honey," they say, "you won't get there soon." At the same time colleges hand out scholarships to the people who can handle a ball, but all that does for the progression of America is the continuation of the brick wall. Don't worry its not great either when they look to the top of the class. They should look to the students who survive homes broken like glass. Man, doesn't our investment look promising? But we all fail to realize its not the system who has failed us, its us who has failed the system. It does what we've created it to do, produce people with no hope and low self-esteem. Its not a complete and utter failure, if it was I wouldn't be writing this right here. But it's time to stop settling for good enough, and start to realize the systems structure is rough.
