John Knight - Education

What is School - a place to learn,
Where learning adds on learning,
As each day suceeds the day before?
So daily I become more learn-ed
And what have I learnt?
Language, Literature, Music, Math, Science & Sociology
And what have I understood?
Through language - through math - the mystery and meaning
Of life - of death - of in between.
Life without knowledge is meaningless
Death without understanding is futile!
So what is School - College - University?
A preparation for life - LIFE SKILLS
A preparation for death - DEATH SKILLS!
