May 6 is No Homework Day! No matter what your teacher might assign, you have our permission here at the Press not to do it. Print this post off and take it in to show your teacher. I’m sure she or he will understand. There are many studies by people who do such things, pretty much Education Majors working on their Masters, that have attempted to gauge the effectiveness of homework. Pretty much, for every study you can cite that says homework is effective, you can site a study that says it’s not. So, yeah. Regardless of which is right, it won’t hurt for one day not to do it, and that day is today! So there, Mrs. Bimbaum.

Playing Hide and Seek with Birds
Hide and Seek is the only game
that birds are willing to play.
Be warned:
They do not play fair.
They hide too well.
And they stay hidden long after it’s obvious
they’re not going to be found.
They don’t even come out for Olly Olly Oxen Free,
or whatever you’re supposed to yell.
Like it matters!
And why do I have to be “It” every time?
That’s not the way to play the game!
Comon!
We’re supposed to take turns!
Don’t they know the whole point of the game
is to be found?
To be found almost immediately
in the same silly place you always hide,
so you can run across the lawn laughing
with absolutely no chance of ever getting back
safely to a base that doesn’t matter?
Two can play at this game!
If they won’t play fair,
then neither will I.
I’m not going to count anymore.
I’m not going to hide my eyes.
And I’m not yelling “Ready or not”
or anything.
Not until the birds take their turns at being “It.”
And then they can come find me.
