Out of a long list of famous poets to choose a poem from, so many of the girls want to recite Frost. I want to shout at them:
STOP! You have no business with Frost! What do you know about nature or looming mortality or old age or youth? Stick with the shocking or haunting poets. Stick with the lovers. You are not old enough to know about life.
Which is probably not the best attitude for a teacher to have.
