Answer:

‘The Song of Education’.

They have brightened our room, that is spacious and cool,

With diagrams used in the Idiot School,

And Books for the Blind that will teach us to see;

But mother is happy, for mother is free.

For mother is dancing up forty-eight floors,

For love of the Leeds International Stores,

And the flame of that faith might perhaps have grown cold,

With the care of a baby of seven weeks old …

So Chesterton writes in this poem, part of a longer sequence from 1922 called ‘Songs of Education’ in which the poet and creator of Father Brown rails against the various flaws of the modern age, all of which are grouped around ‘education’ in some way.

7. Langston Hughes, ‘Theme for English B’.

Hughes (1901-67) was one of the leading poets of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s.

This poem is about the experience of being a black boy – the only one in his class – at a New York School in the early twentieth century. Hughes writes that his experience of the world will be different from his white peers, and yet they – and their white teacher – are united by being American. This acknowledgment of what brings them together, but also what marks them out as different, underpins this poem.

8. Seamus Heaney, ‘Death of a Naturalist’.

This is a poem about ‘education’ that goes beyond school lessons. ‘Death of a Naturalist’ – the title poem from Heaney’s first collection of poems, published in 1966 – is a poem about a rite of passage, and realising that the reality of the world does not match our expectations of it. Here, specifically, it is sexuality which is the theme: the speaker is appalled and repulsed by the reproductive cycle of frogs, which doesn’t quite tally with the view of nature offered by his teacher, Miss Walls.

We have analysed this poem here.

9. Carol Ann Duffy, ‘In Mrs Tilscher’s Class’.

There aren’t many modern or contemporary poems which recall schooldays with affection, but ‘In Mrs Tilscher’s Class’ does just that. Duffy paints a fond picture of her time at primary school and on the brink of adolescence, powerfully suggested by the poem’s final image of the sky breaking into a thunderstorm – reminding us that ‘education’ at school is about more than just the academic lessons, and that we grow personally, physically, and emotionally during our time at school.

10. Karl Shapiro, ‘University’.

This 1940 poem by the American poet Karl Shapiro (1913-2000) is especially relevant in light of the recent move to decolonise university curriculums, particularly in the US and UK. Shapiro describes the old-fashioned, manorial structure and feel to the modern university, which is propped up by tradition and endowments from wealthy donors, and fails to connect with the lives of many ordinary Americans beyond the campus boundaries. The university in question is the University of Virginia.
