Lesson 25: After School I have read a poem called ‘After School’. In this poem, the students describe their activities when school gets over. The students say that they like coming to school. However, after studying hard the entire day, students are happy to pack away their books and slates. They leave school to play and roam around. They say good-bye to their kind teacher and leave her alone. The students feel that the teacher does not mind being alone. This may be because she can rest and be peaceful in the absence of the students at the end of a busy day.
