STUDENT: Now and then I think of what I learned in high school Like AP Bio and British Literature Is that igneous or metamorphic? I don’t need to write in Iambic. And I’ll admit I don’t know shit about Millard Fillmore
Why did I have to learn this stuff? It has never come in handy, Never used it for nothing Why did we read The Scarlett Letter? Puritans are boring, even when one is a slut There's actually one thing I still know: Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, Def-nitly do not need that though, Now it’s just a study that I used to know... Now it’s just a study that I used to know...
TEACHER: Now and then I think of all the things I taught you Every handout with a Farside Cartoon appropo You don’t want to live that way Forgetting every word I say You said you’d never let it go I guess mnemonic devices just weren’t enough for you though
You really freaking piss me off, I worked so hard to teach you something, Now you don’t know nothing What does the conch symbolize? Or anything beyond the first three digits of Pi. And what about SohCahToa? Or A-sexual reproduction of the Protozoa? I guess you didn’t need that though, Now it’s just a study that you used to know... Now it’s just a study that you used to know...
