Slightly crazy writer and passionate educator for those who struggle
To asphyxiate, to suppress
Oh how wonderful
To post about stifle
A word that brings up
So many meanings
The hot stifling heat
That’s hard to breathe in
The oppressive nature of some
The acts that are undertaken
That shunt your actions
The lack of growth
As students are stifled in class.
So many ways that stifle can work
So many ways to get stifling done
Delicious, evocative, suppressing of thoughts
I must go teach now and
Mentally suffocate some kids with Maths
(Not really – I love maths and am passionate about getting my students to love the logic and beauty behind it too.  I just couldn’t resist pandering to the mathematical stereotype 🙂 )

I am/was an electronic engineer. I have this huge love/hate relationship with math 😉 I liked your poem 🙂
