“Learn Nothing”

by Ariyah Davis

I can sit in class all day.
I can write write notes about what I am learning.
I can answer questions.
I can do all this and learn nothing.
You can teach me whatever you want, but you can’t make me learn.

You can tutor me, so I can understand better.
You can give me extra work to learn better.

You can give a horse hay, but you can’t make it eat.
You can give a cat milk, but you can’t make it drink.

You can teach me whatever you want, but you can’t make me learn.
