Plot/story elements:

Did I feel attached to the story or poem?

I chose this one because I am a teacher and already felt engaged. Yes, I feel your pain in this piece. It's hard to teach in today's world when the kids don't understand the value of what we do. But, I will say our field doesn't reward instant gratification. You produce something and instantly either get rejected or praised. Our reward comes at a much slower pace if at all. But, the praise and gratitude come when a student who finds you twenty years later and says how much you helped when there was no one else because for many kids, there isn't. I worked at a school where the trajectory was either Walmart or jail and it gets disheartening. And though I rarely felt the gratitude of it from them directly, it was never between me and them. For me, it's for God, working with the people that needed help and inspiration the most. And, I have a feeling, it's like that for you too. It's like that for most teachers, the ones who are in it for the love of what they do. The great novel waits still but it might have to wait a little longer on my end. We'll see.


Would I recommend this piece of writing to someone else?

Any teacher would love to read it. They would instantly connect to it.


Was there a clear purpose to it?

For me, it's an accurate illustration of daily life in the classroom.
