Playing Political Games
Another day where a meeting has been held,
with the tantalizing promise,
the carrot, if you will,
of the making of a ‘final decision’.
The result -
‘No Decision Has Yet Been Made.’
Do any of these people have even the slightest clue
of what they are putting these students through?
Always the most stressful year,
this one, well it’s becoming unbearable when nothing is clear.
‘We don’t want predictive grading,’
that’s what they say, on repeat, on repeat...
But schools have been out since March
with well over a term of learning lost.
Please have some sense,
some compassion and empathy -
go with the triple plan where the students can opt
for one of three.
There’s an option for everyone -
no argument against it that I can see.
Or make this the year where students are punished
because a pandemic stole their classes,
make them sit the exams that they have had no chance
to prepare for.
It’s only their future you’re playing with, right?
Wrong, for these are the future of the country too!
Stop playing games with their mental health,
let the students have a voice
and for God’s sake give them that triple choice.

It's so unfair, and hard on these pupils. I feel for your daughter, hope things work out, Hully.

Thanks, Mike! It's becoming ultra stressful and is so unfair.
