problems & opportunities

 

a day in a school in this ol' world

Well here we are today in Class Eighteen.

There’s Deacon here and Jay - know what I mean?

And Jay is firing on all cylinders, 

he’s finished check in, and done his Maths first,

with BobbieJoe, who’s helping things along.

And now they’re onto English. What’s gone wrong?

It’s Nine thirty plus six, and here they go!

And Deacon’s onto English too, I know

because (there’s hardly any students here,

So he’s been visiting a classroom near

with Mr. Mortimer and Suzzie there),

he came to get his laptop, so beware(!)

there’s hard-work happening in this ‘ere school

with focus and a trying not to fool

around so much, they’re starting habits good

well, for a bit until they really could

not just keep on, and win all of these things.

They might fall flat, but learning to take wings,

so “flying” is a happening again,

at least for a short time. There’s still some pain,

but also there’s exhilaration too -

Each bit’s a tiny win. I hope they do!

At least this problem of few students has

been turning ‘round. It’s not one more “Alas!”

and online training, and some visiting

is happening with staff to help to bring

more goodness here, where humans do their things

of ruling over matter, so life sings!
