Good to read an article on the Channel News Asia website relating to poetry. Even better to find it's about the value of memorising the stuff. When I was at school setting memorisation as an exercise was still fairly common. By the time I became a teacher it was unusual, but always effective. The article seems open to the idea it might become a fashionable strategy in education again, but I doubt that will happen. It's so obviously straightforward and deeply powerful that it will never appeal to those who want anything 'progressive' to sound pointlessly complex.
