Class Participation
Speaker speaks while
Slacker thinks
About events outside of class
Sleepy dreams of
Soft bedsheets
And daytime naps inside the dorm
Quiet is the
Earnest learner,
Yearning for the lesson plans
Thought to be a
Silent nothing
Waiting for the class’s end
Lazy walks into the
room, fifteen
minutes after start
Sickie emails me
Excuses why
She couldn’t be a part
Half-assed whines that
He don’t have
The class’s book ‘cause he’s too poor
And teacher sighs,
Exasperated,
Failing to encourage them
Please tell me what you think

haha, this is so true.
Even in my smallest class (8 people) we still have the same people.
