This was produced by a group of high school kids Syntax consultant, Karen Bading, was working with through Hollywood Urban Project.

Since this teacher didn't give us much time,
Our presentation is in the form of rhyme.

Unconscious incompetence is pure bliss,
Because we don't know what we miss.

In conscious incompetence we start to burn,
Cause we know there's something to learn.

In conscious competence you really have to think.
If you make a mistake now, it's going to stink.

In unconscious competence, we got it pat.
We don't have to think any more about that.
