We don't need no education. We don’t need no thought control. No dark sarcasm in the classroom. Teachers leave them kids alone
School Songs
“Good Morning
School Girl” by Sonny Boy Williamson (1937)
“I Don’t Like
Mondays” by The Boomtown Rats (1979)
“Another Brick in
the Wall” Pink Floyd (1979)
School has such a huge impact on our lives that it is no
wonder there are many, many songs about school and teachers. The songs vary,
from hatred of school to love of school. It is a very formative emotional time
so again, no surprise on the spectrum of emotions expressed over the years.
We seem to think that school should be a certain way –
proper, orderly, rule-based. When it isn’t we seem to think that is bad or
somehow a breaking of a taboo. Are we corrupted by that? Are they brain-washing
us to think a certain way to fit into society? Does it really work? Do we have
minds of our own?
