Imagine

By Evonne Rogers Adapted from John Lennon’s Lyrics

Imagine educational freedom
it’s easy if you try
No forced agendas
or politics gone awry
imagine all the children
learning in their own way 

Imagine there’s no grading
it isn’t hard to do
nothing to score or average
and no SBAC/PARCC too

Imagine all the learners
breaking through the chains…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
so freed learning will come

Imagine no restrictions
I wonder if you can
No need for rigid mandates
Or learning in a can

Imagine all the children
whose eyes are opened wide…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
so freed learning will come
