What could be more exciting than declaring “school’s out for summer!” alongside killer guitar riffs? Nothing, except perhaps for the even more thrilling lines, “school’s out forever!” and “school’s been blown to pieces!” The energy and idealism about school ending contained in one of Alice Cooper’s greatest hits has easily made it one of the population’s favorite songs about school. Here are ten of the top songs about school. The topics vary, from teachers, to pride, to girls, to academics, to emotions about education but what stays the same is how each generation finds its ways of highlighting its experiences and memories.

Which policies exist, or how to make them change So like a typical citizen now I don't know what I'm voting on They chose the solar over the political system The rest of the world speaks two, do you think I'm an idiot? I'm only fluent in this language, for serious? Then if you taught the kids to parent that's the problem solved then!īut none for when you actually have a kid when you want one They say it's not the kids, the parents are the problem
Or how to help my depressed friend with their mental state?"īecause "you won't have a calculator with you every day!"
"Could we discuss domestic abuse and get the facts "I've got a headache, the pain is ceaseless Never taught present day practical medicines,īut I was told what the ancient hippocratic method is Than advice that would literally save thousands of livesīut it's cool, ‘cause now I could tell you if the number of unnecessary deaths caused by that choice was prime. ‘cause abstract maths was deemed more important House with a mortgage // if I could afford it How to recognise the most deadly Mental disorders // orĭiseases with preventable causes // How to buy a They made me learn that over basic first aid
Negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared Not taught how to budget and disburse my earningsĭidn't learn how much it costs to raise a kid or what an affidavit isīut I spent days on what the quadratic equation is How does the thing that motivates the world function?
Or how money works at all - where does it come from? Yet I don't know squat about trading stocks I know igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks Why the hell can't we both recite them by rote?! I was shown the wavelengths of different hues of lightĪpparently there's 30, do you know them? I don't Glad that's in my head instead of financial advice Let me repeat - I was not taught the laws for the country I live in,īut I know how Henry the VIII killed his women.ĭivorced beheaded died, divorced beheaded survived I wasn't taught how to look after my healthīut mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell They devoted that time to defining isotopes
But I know loads about Shakespeare's classics
