Education is an Information Transfer Process

Straight rows of chairs and persons,
happy columns, chutes for copied papers.
Fuzzy faces facing forward,
synchronously standing, homework helpfully held.
Books to be opened and closed.
Education is an Information Transfer Process.

Mental maws masticating microfilm,
wind up rolls of revelation
flashing facts for frantic freshment.
Information is "The Lack of Uncertainty".
We will transfer that!
Education is an Information transfer Process.

Students queue questions to professors
who have their knowledge in a stack.
(Full fifty frivolous formulas).
They transfer certainty out in a heap,
retiring cleansed, stack pointer at nil.
Education is an Information Transfer Process.
