Lessons Learnt In Life

Work, Focus, Be your best, Try harder still. My teacher tells me Reading improves the mind. Why is that I ask myself, In tables tests I must do well, Preparing for spelling tests each week, It’s all in preparation for high school. I’ll never use algebra out of school, PE’s a total waste of my time, I’ll never need my tables too, I’ll never need to read time, Graphs will be out you see, My Dad disagrees, These I may need, No I plead, Never Used! I wrote this poem on 30th September 2015. It's about what I'm told at my primary school by my teacher and how frustrating and useless some of the things I have to learn really are. I'm sure I'll never need things like algebra when I grow up and leave school but I still have to learn it. Even though it's really difficult! Dad says he uses things like algebra almost every day but I hope that's not true! I actually like school it's just that some things I learn feel a bit of a waste of time and I'd rather do the things I enjoy. Mum says you have to do the bad bits to appreciate the good ones. I'm not so sure about that either!
