Question: Still on the school theme, the grand-kids start this year, another poem, comments and critique!?
WARNING

Watch out, here they come,
These are our children dear
Not unguarded as some
Giving teachers reason to fear!.

They come from a home
Where they're loved
With parents who won't
See them shoved!.

Taught to independently think
Not led like a horse
Down to drink!.
Or yet led to something worse
Mindless education's curse
Of following worthless leaders
Not questioning bottom feeders!.

They're bright
And they have the right
Their parents know,
Supporting them in their fight,
What to expect
And will watch as they grow
To guarantee proper respect!.

They'll dig and explore,
Question and read
Obstructions ignore
Others lead
In pathways new
By their own design
In patterns true
Their thinking refine!.

Be warned!! They start classes this year
Mediocrity has reason to fear!

Your second verse says it all! Education begins in the home with parents and grandparents all involved from the very beginning!. When the root system is well developed you get get strong plants!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm one of those people, it seems, purveying "mindless education" to our youth!. Teaching is a calling, like say, the priesthood!. We don't fear our students, but we often despair at the education they receive at home before and after our day with them!.
