Dear Readers, 

just a little poem about a timeworn subject, to read on the way to Winter Etai.

Barry S



   The READ Not Taken, 

by Frostie the Snowman

      Two sides took sides in ESL

      And each wood chuck the other out
                      I stood for it long as I could--                          
       
                     The issue if inspectors should
                     inspect the rural undergrowth.

      Some felt that HOTS would just  intrude
                 And make the teachers insecure
                 While others dazed by literature
                 So many logs, can't see the wude. 

      At first I spurned the visitors
                   And chose to be autonomous
                   Within my school I barred the doors
                   And sided with 'Anonymous'

      Different roads of different sighs,  
            My logs became a mighty jam

      My student's HOTS and thoughts ran deep

      I had time to regret that I
             had been as stubborn as I am


             But I will tell you this, two years

      From now their'll be a new program
       While I have promises to keep

      And HOTS will heat the compost heap.





      And piles of HOTS will heat the heap
