"This Ones For My Generation"

I decided to stray from Shane Koyczan because this spoken word poem grasped my attention immediately.Especially since test scores hold so much value to us, the only way that schools judge us is based on scores on a test. Colleges only accept us based on SAT scores, the only way I could graduate High School is if I passed the PSSA, and in order to be certain majors, such as Education, you need to pass the PAPA, it varies based on state. I find this strange because when I took teaching classes we are taught not to base grades on testing students because some may not test well and it doesn't always show whether or not they are retaining knowledge, but as a society we are constantly giving people test. I love that this young man, Suli Breaks, confronted such a big issue and stood up for what he believed in. This was in the U.K and to have such an impact on me, an American, because we face the same struggles here, however I don't hear anyone here in the U.S making a spoken word poem about how unfair our education system is. At least I haven't come across one yet.
