Imagine…. (a poem about school)
Imagine a classroom where there is no teaching only learning.
Imagine a classroom where there is no leader
only common purpose.
Imagine a classroom where there is no remembering only experiencing
Imagine a classroom where there is no teacher only students.
Imagine a classroom where there is no objective only curiosity.
Imagine a classroom where there is no hesitation only hunger.
Imagine a classroom where there is no competiton only pride of self.
Imagine a classroom where there is no textbook
only creation.
Imagine a classroom where there is are no walls only horizon.
Imagine a classroom where there is no teaching only learning.
Imagine. It’s easy if you try.

Listen to the original song and share with your students. What do they imagine about education and school?
Here’s what some elementary school students wrote me when I asked their class to give me questions they’d like to know answers about! Imagine if they had the time to explore as they wanted?
A dogmeist’s dream! Love the poem and thank you for sharing, I’ll endeavour to pass it on to others.
Gordon,
Thanks for dropping in and the kind comment. You kick started my brain and maybe I’ll make this into a poster!
Yes, we must dream – or what’s a heaven for? cheers,
