Why I hate school but loves education

Why should we learn the subjects that we never ever use in life?
This is just a question by me that needs to be answered appropriately.
I’m not questioning the education nor am not against on it. It is just my curiosity
With a mind full of peace that strikes me when i wrote this piece.
Why? I’m talking about “why i hate school but love education”.

School never teaches us love, didn’t they know? That it is a weapon to change the world:
A weapon to stop rebellion; a weapon stop hunger;
a weapon to stop crisis And a weapon to manipulate anger.
I’m sure i can never ever use or apply Pythagorean Theorem, pathetic fallacy
and still doesn’t know the value of "X".

You! How many equations, subjects, and dates did we memorize?

Just before the exam and never to use it again?
How many 90's grade did you get?
Which will never asked for when applying a job?

How many times have you remembered something 5 minutes

After the teacher has said "stop writing"
Only to receive your results a month later
To realize that you were only 1 mark short of the top grade?
Does that mean remembering 5 minutes earlier made you
More qualified in a particular job?

This, we all have different abilities, thoughts, processes, experiences and genes.
So why is a class full of individuals tested by the same means?
That will result for someone will think he is stupid
because he couldn't answer the given equations and
school doesn’t even know that he's just hiding her emotion.

And if this issue is not addressed properly it then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Then every school would have the audacity to have a policy in equality.

Test me with test but the final test wouldn't be a final test
Because they never prepare us for the biggest test which is survival.

So this is for my generation; the ones that found what they were looking for on Google;
The ones who followed their dreams on twitter, picture their future in instagram,
Accept the destiny on Facebook.

This one’s for my "failures" and zeroes.

For the unemployed graduates, cashers and cleaners with bigger dreams!
They could be the world changers and dream chasers.
Because the purpose of "why i hate school, but love education" was not to initiate a class debate.
But to let them know that 72 or 88, 54 or 68 will not ever ever decide you fate.
