So brief yet so descriptive! You really painted a wonderful picture of a process I do not enjoy. Giving grades and finalizing them is a hard thing for me. Your poem puts a new perspective on it all. Thank you!

Interesting take on the stdents vs. teachers! Report cards is always a hard one for some kids to get used to

Tis the season, I suppose. Writing a poem in 'teacher-ese' would be fun to craft, though could be difficult to post publically.

This is beautiful! I love the alliteration in the first poem, and the hope in both take 1 and 2. You did so much with so few words! Bravo!

Well the last line --dares to dream--says it all, doesn't it?

I love this dual perspective poem. It's good to think of them from a parent's perspective or a child's perspective and not just from our own.

Creative way to compare the two perspectives. I really like how you used a poem to articulate your ideas.

What a great use of the acrostic poem and taking it one step further. Love the contrast of teacher and student. This is awesome!

Clever. Thought-provoking lines. I like that both "takes" end with "dreams."
