A Cagsetic Poem
I've been thinking about a poem I could write about cagse and what it does in the UK.
First I wrote this:
cagse's Latin program's cool,
it's got patterns for all to see,
it gives kids the blueprint
for National Literacy.
Yeah, I know.
A bit tooooo.....
Or maybe not enough.....
Let's just say, I wasn't thrilled with it, either.
So I wrote some more.
Here it is.
cagse gets Latin
into UK schools of State ilk,
we're not too concerned
with Public school silk.
At Key Stage 2
year five's our first stop
the structure of language
is our priority top.
In Latin your students
will see by and by
that knowing it well
they'll have learned how to fly.
Their minds will be honed
to the sharpness of a blade
they'll learn how to think,
not just grub for a grade.
Your students will excel
well beyond what's expected
and in them your wisdom
will be brilliantly reflected.
Latin, we aver,
is everyone's gain
it relieves state schools
of literacy pains.
It's not just for the "elite"
or "the best and the brightest",
though who those folks may be
I haven't the slightest.
On this let's be frank,
we'll cost you some dosh,
but it's wisely invested,
not wasted on bosh.
For the national requirements,
walls though they be,
will be by your students
breached - no, smashed - easily.
So for Stage 2 and beyond
cagse sets schools up right;
use our program, head teachers -
you won't stay up nights.
