That is the true genius of educational legislation,
A system of flaws; a complete dependence upon governing bodies;
That we can stop paying teachers
And know that our students will still get taught;
That we can cut the budget, cut out art programs,
Without too much complaint from the masses;
That we can regulate and standardize curriculum
Without any checks or balances;
That we can expect students to learn and grow
Without an actual plan or any funds to support them
And that our kids might just become
Productive members of society
---At least most of the time.
