I am currently studying this poem and finding it very interesting. I am in year 11 and am appalled at the desision to remove this poem from the anthology. I think the AQA are being very unreasonable by making this desision and it feels like we as teenagers are not trusted. How many people have commited a crime and said I was influenced by a poem? I think the AQA have given into pressure due to all the complaints, and surley its not their job to censor the material we study.

In year 11, we are currently studying "Education for Leisure" and I, along with my classmates, are utterly outraged at the fact that you have removed this fascinating and educational poem.
The poem was removed from the AQA GCSE Anthology due to an 'apparent' rise in knife crime. However, if the AQA was to removed from this book, would we discuss these issues in class, or would it be a secret topic, where no one would want or choose to discuss it?
The fact that you have never questionned poems or stories from the likes of Shakespeare is appaulling, because I feel that they express greater violence.

We are currently studying the poem 'Education for Leisure' at school and I have found it very interesting. It has contributed to many thought-provoking discussions in class. I am disheartened by the irresponsible decision of the AQA to remove this educational poem. I feel that because this is a modern poem it has been removed, why is it that other poems and stories with violence are still included in the AQA course? I think that the AQA simply cracked under the pressure from media promoting the recent raise of knife crime and took the very motivating and educational poem out of our GSCE Anthology books.
