The poem is written for a young audience and explores a child's desire to attend school with their older brother. The narrative unfolds as the child attempts to understand the arbitrary criteria set by their father to determine readiness for school. The father uses the seemingly unrelated task of touching one's left ear with their right hand over their head as a measure of whether the child is old enough. The child expresses confusion as to why this physical coordination task relates to academic readiness, questioning its connection to counting and drawing. Despite not understanding the logic, the child accepts that they must wait until they can successfully perform the action before being allowed to attend school. The document also includes comprehension questions designed to assess understanding of the poem, such as identifying characters, understanding motivations, and reflecting on personal experiences related to starting school. These questions aim to engage young readers and encourage critical thinking about the themes presented in the poem.","Poem-Measuring for School  \nSchool Journal Junior 1, 2008-V1 .2  \nEnglish  \nMeasuring for School by Aida Lagis Jujumo  \nI watch my brother getting dressed up.  \nIn his smart new uniform.
