They say that education is the key
If that's true then school is the lock
We are taught to retain the information they want us to learn
But refrain our freedom of thought.
'refrain from' might work better. Might.
You see there is still a divide in our schools
A better word to use is segregation
I don't mean different races black,white or asian
But between the so called fools and the smarter students
Who have the ability of information retention
Rather than ignoring the so called fools and focusing on the smart
Give them the tools to help them out of the educational dark.
This reminds me of Reading Rainbow a little bit. But I like that show.
Exam tests are away of grading a students ability of retention

That's right. But depending on what they want to succeed with, they will need some knowledge. Even if they learn that outside of school. Some people need to learn and experience things in different ways that aren't open to them: that's the problem. And not everyone can succeed. There's no reaching some people, and that's not always their fault.
Just because when it comes to testing a student can retain and regurgitate the things they have been taught
doesn't meant they understand the subject or have used their ability of thought.
'doesn't mean'
The only thing tests can show is a students ability to deal with stress
student's
These are just a few of the reasons why i believe the educational system is a mess.
'I'. To be consistent with the uppercase letter you used earlier in the poem.
How do you want it to read? The style and form? It seems intentional, the way you have it. But you say you hope it's not too difficult. So how do you prefer it to be?
