Asked by Beth
What does the poem "Students" by Tom Wayman mean? I don't understand what the opening lines/sentence means- someone explain? I also don't see the irony of the last stanza either. How is it ironic? I know that it basically shows Wayman and his attempt for teaching students the importance of knowledge and process, but the studentsonly care about the final mark and results.

The irony in the last stanza is apparent: the teacher wants to impart knowledge, but the students are only worried about the grade: the heck with learning anything.
