Satire Schoolyard: Education Edicts That Err
Writing the Satire
Schools satire chalk – err it up. Target a class: “Math says clear – Im lost.” Hit the learn – books, bells: “Test says ace – I flunk.” Keep it fun – dull flops. Write: “School says grow – I shrink.” Peanuts desks inspire. Start yours: “Bell says go – I stay.” Practice turns lessons into laughs.
Teaching the Technique
Teach school jabs with a learn twist. Give “test day” – twist: “Day so smart, I dumb!” Show Peanuts gags – book, zing. Steps: class, quirk, jab. Assign “rule flop” – spark: “Rule so wise, I slept!” Discuss fun: light wins. Warn off flat – err rules. Yard-off: pitch an edict, best err wins. Schools a desk – teach them to desk it.
