If I were the principle of my school
I would bring some changes to the rules
A school where every child can dare
To think freely and be their true selves
I would give the a problem to solve
By themselves.A chance to evolve
To grow., with all the senses involved
I don't want parrots belching memorized words
Students aren't sheep, teachers aren't shepherds
I would want them to live in an open world
Where they can question everything under the Sun
Bookish knowledge is not all
There's more to life than Newton's laws
We are artists, us human not robots
Scientist, philosophers, why should we be restricted to some selected thoughts
I would want basic life skills
To be taught to every pupil
So that when they leave these gates
They aren't left confused and dazed
We must teach them empathy
Theory gives way to practicality
So that when they got no help
They can think for themselves
Don't sacrifice the individual
At the altar of peer-pressure
These would be my principles
If I were my school's principal.
