Poems by various authors, all about how terrible school is...
How to Get Through Your Reading Book by Kate Williams uses lots of different cool ways of modifying prose.
Count Down by Nicholas Oram may be trolling the reader but it's true.
Education in Excuses by Gina Douthwaite is really cool; the poem is arranged to form the x in the word excuses.
Confused Homework Excuses by Chris Ogden is also another good one; you have to read it twice to really understand it.
...and the whole thing can be read in less than an hour.
"If teachers teach you badly,
Sit quiet, don't play the fool,
Just pack your books into your bags,
And find another school"
