poem review

The poem is using "anybody, somebody, nobody, and everybody" metaphorically to portray the plural. At the end of the poem you can understand the relations between the characters and the plurals. The last verse was: because Nobody did what Anybody could have done." The meaning behind the story is that it doesn't have to be your job, you can do the job, your friend could do the job, someone could do the job. It doesn't just have to be based on one person. That's why using the characters with plural names was such a brilliant idea.

Question: Should schools enable students to use their personal devices in the classroom?

Yes enabling students to work with their device would be a good idea. In todays modern world the use of paper and pen doesn't outweigh the screen on your phone or tablet or even laptop. Colleges were ahead of the game and have allowed laptops in the classrooms for many years. From word documents to full out textbooks you can do anything on a device. The only thing con for kids having devices in class is they would be too busy texting and playing games rather than working.
