Back when I was in school learning poetry and literature generally was just a way or scoring cool point for my parent in from of other parent. Though I won’t lie to you now, am so very much grateful that my parent forced me then, as most of the leaders and higly resoected individuals, have come to be involved with as the years went by are people who take so much pride in being a literature student.
Though for the process of dissemination of lesson in poetry by tutors should be reveiwed. I could say I never for ones did enjoy my poetry classes, only for the few distractions that comes with being in class with my “crush”.
More actions and step need to be towards this.
