Re: Waste of time
"I would say the time spent by language teachers to force upon you their version of a poem's interpretation is a waste of time."
Aah yes, good old English lit' lesson one: When they ask for your opinion of a particular poem, "It's a load of shit!" is not the answer they are looking for, especially if it was written by characters with weird names like "Shakespeare", "Doone", "Browning" etc.
