  1. Really good job here, I like how you grounded all of those difficult jargons by making the focus of your poem on a child's learning. It reveals how ridiculous those words are, how meaningless, when it's applied to the classroom. Well done!

    1. Thank you so much. Yes, extremely ridiculous and meaningless. I have been a teacher for 30 years, so I am a little tired of listening to this jargon ;)

    1. I found it extremely difficult too. I struggled with this one all day. Something was constantly missing. Then I started adding multiple resources and the poem somehow agreed to cooperate. But, yes, probably the most difficult challenge so far.

  3. Such simple yet very clever balance and contradiction - I can see me coming back to this one.
