Grades
Students all over the world are worried
Worried about what grade they got
And they worry what grade their peers got
Grades for math
Grades for science
Grades for english
Grades for spanish
Grades for history
There are so many grades that students have to worry about it feels like they are carrying a thousand pound backpack full of stress on their back
And most of them do not know how to cope with all this added stress to their lives
They think that poor grades mean a definite bad future
They say that it will be the end of their life
They say that it feels like their grades control them
But they don’t
And they should not
Grades should not matter as much as they do now
A grade is just a letter
But students are drawn to believing that this is all that matters
Students believe that if they get a bad grade their parents will be mad at them
This is causing many students lots of unnecessary stress in their lives
When students are in school they are assigned lots of work every day
It seems like there are thousands of grades that students have to worry about.
I believe that we should put less of an emphasis on grades
And more on learning
This will make students less stressed about what they got
And work on weather they know the information or not
And work on weather they know the information or not
I like the line where you say "carrying a thousand pound backpack full of stress on their back." It's a good hyperbole and metaphor, and relatable.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you express what you feel about grades. It's a really good poem, I like the lines where you say " they think that poor grades mean a definite bad future"
ReplyDeleteI think most of us can relate to this poem and understand what you wrote about. It really speaks to how we feel about grades and school.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you wrote the poem about something many people have in common. Also how you said grades for math, grades for science it creates emphasis on the stress and anxiety of grades.
