Poetry in schools.

[billy]

then maybe we need more teachers like you. i remember my short stint at school, if you wrote three lines of shite you got a pass mark. in [secondary modern] i do admit that if someone wrote poetry for a hobby they were never picked for a team in the playground to play football.

i too like uncliched fucks

But that’s in the ideal world. In the real world, where poetry at that age is gay, only haiku and rap will sell.

Not so. I've had 15 year old "delinquent" kids writing some badass sonnets and rondeaux. Especially if you tell them they can use fuck in a poem as long as it's not a cliche. Many uncliched fucks are given.
