Mistake #2

Jennifer, please remember to do the following:
  • Never assume your students will get the humor found in poetry.
  • Listen to your instincts. Don't have them read a poem that, while pretty and image-heavy, contains (almost) off-putting references.
  • Just because you think it's funny doesn't mean they'll think it too.
Sigh. I've been making poor decisions this week.
