[LYRICS] Don't Stay In School - BoyInABand
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
I heard this song when it first came out and it resonated with me. personally i believe that we are going to end up seeing a large surge of trade schooling replacing college and high schools as students go to acquire the knowledge they actually require to survive in their chosen profession. i just never got around to making a lyric video till now cause i didn't feel like it :P Check out the original performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xe6nLVXEC0 Check out some responses to comments about the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJIu7pE0lBA Check out some of the impact this song is having: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCM4GEBDjz4 Source Description: What I learned in school vs. What I didn't learn in school. iTunes: http://goo.gl/n4EgkZ | Bandcamp: http://goo.gl/gDetLT I can't remember feeling so passionate whilst writing something in ages. I absolutely love a lot of the subjects I mention in this - astronomy, particle physics, pure maths... but I hate that everyone is forced to learn them. It should be a choice. There are a million other things wrong with education, but this one stood out as the most obvious and most insane. The point of this song is to get people talking - if you share it, use #DontStayInSchool so we can all get involved in the conversation. ► Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boyinabandcom ► Twitter: http://twitter.com/DavePBrown ► Tumblr: http://davebiab.tumblr.com/ ► Music: http://boyinaband.bandcamp.com ► T-Shirts: http://boyinaband.bigcartel.com/ ★ ★ ★ THANKS TO MY PATRONS FOR SUPPORTING ME! ► Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/boyinaband Bart aka FantasyIH, Ema Simpson, Thomas Lloyd, Vincent Olsen, Ofer Mustigman, Sergey Khegay, Lance Thackeray.

You Don't Say Face -
I have shown my mum and her friend this song and they both agreed with everything that dave says in it.
-
Helpful af, thanks.
-
im going to remember this song

As someone who is currently a student this is all very true, it's scary how young adults are forced into the real world blind when it could have simply been fixed by teaching actually important stuff in school.
-
I want to learn the lyrics in my head so I can go in front of my parents and sing this wonder what they will react XD
-
Ya I understand a hat he's saying, but the reason they give you that is for higher education in college, at my high school we have a mandatory economics class that teaches some of this. It's still stupid.
-
I'm gonna learn the lyrics and sing this at our school talent show
-
Yay.
-
FUN FACT: there are more people scared that others are going to misinterpret the message, then there are people actually misinterpreting the message
you don't have to explain that #DontStayInSchool is talking about the pointless topics and not referring to the students.
you don't have to explain that you should stay in school, and try to do what you can to help fix the system as opposed to dropping out
everyone already gets it <3 -
I 92% memorised the rap and on Monday I am going to rap it in front of my class.
-
I'm totally gonna try to rap this at the school talent show. I'm not trying to say I have bars like this gifted man, but it's so important that it's worth a try. Dave thank u so much!💖👏
