The Road Not Taken: Robert Frost
The following poem is one of my favourites. I studied it for my HSC and it was on this morning's Preliminary HSC Exam for our Year 11 students.
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

WHY IS THE SITE USELESS?
Apparently there are a few students who think that the site is somewhat useless. I am not looking at reprimanding these boys, as everyone is entitled to their opinion. What I do need though is a reason why?
So I open this to comments from all, what do you want to see on this site? What is it missing? What needs to be improved? By all means be as honest as you wish. I'd rather know now, so we can use this for the benefit of all!
