If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!

If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!

Though
Your heart ache
was derived
from nasty teachers
in an English School System
This writer can relate

Pink Floyd
You were right
Teachers' Sarcasm
Put another Brick
in the Wall
for many
of us
who ran
to non conformist
and rebellious 
ideology
to escape
the expectation
that a progressive
school system
Had put upon
Its youth

Education
became
a four letter
word
It was not
until
University
that this writer's
view of learning
evolved
realizing
that
it is an opportunity
for intellectual
growth.....

Crazy how
a
totalitarian
environment
can 
cause
negative
feelings
in
us.......................

Hi Greg oh my goodness  this really hit a reality spot with me...my experience was much the same -thankfully I had one really great educator who broke all the accepted rules  and taught with passion and knowledge treating his pupils as human beings and not 'things to be fed with information' Because of him I approached Uni with a very different attitude and learned to love the acquisition of new information- great piece of work!

I went through a lot in grade school.  This is a hurt that continues with me.  I did very well in University but grade school was a nightmare.

I've been a non-conformist my entire life, Greg, and I see no reason to stop now.
My poetry topics are often shunned and ridiculed. My belief systems are often questioned and scrutinized.
A lot of that I can attribute to the wonderful teachers I had in school and many professors in college that liked to push the limits and test the "norm."
But you know what; I wouldn't have it any other way.
Excellent writing as always, sir.
