Thanks for logging on and completing your homework (internet assignment)

Our Grade 10 class looked at this poem today, and we found the question confusing--so we are hijacking this site a bit by interpreting the question as best that we can. Put simply, I have asked my students to log on and create a poetry response about what they "think this poem or Tom Wayman is telling us, or how it makes us feel...". **GRADE 10's, since you were so quiet in our discussion, now let's hear what you have to say, remember, you're being evaluated! Good luck! PS. I had enough to say in class, so I won't post my own ideas until I see yours. Ms. O'Dwyer In the poem "Did I miss anything" I think that the speaker is saying that he is/was a teacher and his students were rarley showing up for class and weren't working, so he desides to trick them into working and showing up for class by using sarcasm. "None of this content has value or meaning take as many days off as you would like". Also I think that the speaker is saying if you miss class and care about school you are missing everything but if you dont care you are missing nothing. Frazer Norton
