Note: Well, I have been quite surprised by the response to the student's sonnet I wrote last week. And many of you said that you thought I should give the teacher a fair shot at a response. Here it is (and, once again, a very rough draft that may go through changes).
-K. D.
You know the rule, young man.
If you don't come in on time,
you don't write the test. It's fine
if you're sick, but please...can
you even imagine if I planned
my classes around such a line?
You must think I'm dumb and blind.
These are lies I cannot stand.
It would be a crime
if you decided to take a stand.
You would fail; gaining nothing grand.
It would waste all our time.
Don't ever try to do that again.
Now, take a seat so we can begin.
