The Voice

Many of you have noticed that I have a poem on the classroom door.  The poem, called "The Voice", is written by one of the most entertaining writers of the last few generations, Shel Silverstein.  Although much of Silverstein's writing is funny, this one is poignant.  As the 6th graders leave Elmer in June, you will be going on to bigger and better things - with bigger and bigger consequences.  Study hard, try hard...and you will go places. Make bad decisions, and find yourself in trouble.

But who will tell you what is right, and what is wrong?  YOU WILL.   That's why I like this poem - let me know what it means to you.
