I cannot say that I was a particularly diligent student, especially during the lower grades.

Thinking in its lower grades, is comparable to paper money, and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry.

I was not an outstanding student. I did a reasonable amount of work. I got generally good - pretty good grades, but I was not that passionate about getting straight A's.

Diligent as one must be in learning, one must be as diligent in forgetting; otherwise the process is one of pedantry, not culture.

Grades are almost completely relative, in effect ranking students relative to others in their class. Thus extra achievement by one student not only raises his position, but in effect lowers the position of others.

Happy Teacher's Month
You had been so cool
Now what you call me is fool
I never in your class
Aim for an A++
For I’m the type who relaxes
Now my grades with 7 axes
Now I’m paying extra taxes
More of pain and sacrifices
My grades on subtraction
Cause of my destruction
Cause of Student organization
Who controls my whole motion
In my very own notion
I’m a fool full of conclusion
I’m made up of suggestion
But I’m lacking some action
I really need promotion
And I need your opinion
Should I spit or engulf this position
And leave them all in the middle of the hardest section
I shall not quit for I’m what I am
But not to wait for fate to come
Please your knowledge share me some
My brain’s explosions sounds BOOM and BAAM!
I’m so confused wanna scream D*MN LIFE
Still words are sharper like new bought knife
I’m merely asking for apology
For my unethical terminology
And my unlawful activity
And my foolishness.Yes! Probably
By the way “Happy teacher’s month”
From the bottom of my heart
From every corpuscles in my blood
Now I wish the new me starts
Push me to show what I had.

Student Demonstration Time
Starting out with berkeley free speech
And later on at peoples park
The winds of change fanned into flames
Student demonstrations spark
Down to isla vista where police felt so harassed
They called the special riot squad of the l. a. county sheriff
Well theres a riot going on
Theres a riot going on
Theres a riot going on
Student demonstration time
The violence spread down south to where jackson state brothers
Learned not to say nasty things about southern policemens mothers
Nothing much was said about it and really next to nothing done
The pen is mightier than the sword, but no match for a gun
Well theres a riot going on
Theres a riot going on
Well theres a riot going on
cause its student demonstration time
America was stunned on may 4, 1970
When rally turned to riot up at kent state university
They said the students scared the guard
Though the troops were battle dressed
Four martyrs earned a new degree
The bachelor of bullets
I know were all fed up with useless wars and racial strife
But next time theres a riot, well, you best stay out of sight
Well theres a riot going on
Theres a riot going on
Well theres a riot going on
Student demonstration time
Stay away when theres a riot going on
Student demonstration
Stay away when theres a riot going on
Student demonstration
Stay away when theres a riot going on
Student demonstration
Stay away when theres a riot going on
Its student demonstration
Stay away when theres a riot going on
Student demonstration
Stay away when theres a riot going on
Student demonstration
Stay away when theres a riot going on
Its student demonstration
Stay away when theres a riot going on
Student demonstration

More Is Less If Off Task
aspiring desiring straight A student
diligent learns indelible lessons success
first second third points all answer
question asked nothing more nothing less
multiple distractions passions beg inclusions
hugely interesting off task not given marks
Dedicated to Adeline who master bakes recipes of success.

You know, I went to Oberlin. At that time, grades were - you elected to have them or not. It was all of that era where grades were out the window. But I did very well in school. I didn't really study the arts; I practiced the arts.

Nilay’s Innocence
Nilay a beautiful student
with a wonderous smile.
Diligent in all work all study
admire such studious style.
Keep faith sincerity. Ever alive.
Then brain betrothed beauty.
Fair futures bound far.
People will hold thee close.
Regard love deeply truly.
Wherever chance found thou are.
Nilay thou art perceived.
Defined at surface inflexion fragile.
As a studious student framed
etched within perplex placid smile.
Diligent still receptive.
Endeavour present study.
Stilled admire attentive
industrious study glaze putty.
Thrall futures bound
beauty betrothed brain.
Beware close webbed
beguile reptilian systems insane.
Corruptions poisoned tips;
sudden shot arrows split seen.
Rosy red affixed apples;
straight through yon brain.
Keep faith hope sincerity
ever alive. Preserve honesty.
Then brain betrothed beauty
fair futures bound exceedingly far.
People will hold thee close protectively.
Regard in hearts affectionately.
Love deeply truly. Pray often ardently.
Wherever chance found thou are.

Student, Teacher
I would like to be a teacher!
The only qualification for teaching
is to be the student.
How can I be a student?
You have to find a teacher
who knows he is the student.

Two birds on the same tree
Two birds rest on the same tree;
their eyes are bright;
they look alike; yet one
is the Teacher; one the Student;
the Student tastes all the many fruits
upon that tree; the Teacher sits, just watches,
filled with love and pride;
the eyes of both are bright;
when the Student has tasted all,
the Teacher asks what has been learnt; for
only the Teacher knows within their heart:
that now the Student is the teacher;
the Teacher listens as a student;
the Student speaks now as a teacher
who has learned this of themself;
the Teacher’s eyes are bright:
knowing that to live it through
shows the knowledge to be true;
the Student is teaching the Teacher now, of
how to teach; the Teacher glows to know
the Student may surpass the Teacher;
knowledge shines from both their eyes;
who is the more glorious of these two
who share both the same name?
who rejoice to need the other;
who rejoice to be the other;
now they are silent; now the tree’s rejoicing too;
Its roots above; its fruits below;
its leaves, a shelter;
its branches, home.
*
[ Leaning on a poem of Kabir: Indian readers will be familiar with
'two birds in a tree' as a metaphor for acting with detachment; Kabir takes this further, into knowledge gained from wise action...]

If I Were A Student
If I were a student
Books will my companion be
Time shall my master be
The library shall my playground be
Devoted teachers will be my idols
To be a giant will be my ideal
If I were a student
Rudeness will I banish
Laziness will I never relish
Truancy will I at no time cherish
I will banish procrastination
And never tarnish my reputation
If I were a student
Hard work will I entertain
Dedication to duty will I maintain
Respect to all will I sustain
I will retain perseverance
I will contain bad peer influence.
If I were a student
I will study vigorously
And follow instructions rigorously
I will strive to excel in every race
In a class of my own will I be placed
I giant I will be by his grace

College Campus
Colleges are very large.
There isn’t much heat.
If you walk into a dorm,
You’ll notice it isn’t neat.
The kids spend much free time in the field house,
Playing sports no doubt.
They spend not much time on homework,
As their grades go down the spout.
It depends on the student’s age,
The freshmen don’t really try.
But when the midterms come in,
They surely will cry.
The Upper-class students, though, are intelligent,
They keep good watch on their schedule,
Because they know if they work hard
For any great job, they could be eligible.
Graduation week comes around quick
And the seniors are a very important group.
The parents will be very proud
But their jobs will tie them in a loop.
