An Apology to the Teacher

An Apology to the Teacher Upon Completion of Decimal Homework

 I tried my best

I failed the test

Of decimals and my daughter.

Place value rules

My tips and tools.

Just led us to the slaughter.

So I thought and did

I drew a grid

Told her to line them up.

And spot by spot

Compared the two.

I called it “Dot-to-Dot”
