    I don't think the title actually speaks to this short film. It is about a homework task, and it is about children reflecting, but I don't the children in it are reflecting deeply on learning and its limits. Instead I think it shows the difference between learning and being graded. In this instance many of the children are wondering about such things as: what does this poem mean, what did the author intend for the poem to mean, what does this word or this line mean - endless questioning that seems to be penalized at the end by not memorizing the poem, which the grade depends on.
