   Chitrangada
   It's great to see you writing again.
   I think we've all been hit with that feeling after the comment section disappeared.
   
   Heck...I was even admitted to the hospital that same night.
   Did it play a role?   Who knows...but I remember being totally frustrated.
   
   "Never give up" is a great attitude for us to have and I'm glad you found it.
   
   Your "Acrostic Poem on Experiment" is absolutely excellent.
   
   It totally describes experiment from the beginning to the end.
   
   I love it!
   
   Then you tell us how as a teacher you often used experiments to help children learn.
   
   It holds their attention span much better when they get to take part in something other than sitting in a classroom, like
   going to a factory to see things first hand.
   
   I can only imagine the struggle for teachers during this pandemic & wonder how they could even get the students to pay attention.
   
   I mean, their not physically at the school...so what's to get the kids to log on to a computer.
   
   Like you say...Thank God our human minds have immense capabilities and we have a high tech world.
   
   We definitely need both of them nowadays.
   
   A great write.  I'll post a link in the word prompt article & start a forum if there isn't one already.

      Hi Brenda!
      It’s lovely to read your analysis of my article and poem, and I am glad that I wrote a response to your word prompt. As always, you have done an excellent review of my work.
      My sincere thanks for all your efforts.
      I completely agree with you that, the changes at HubPages led to frustration and uncertainty to most of us. I hope they pay attention to the concerns of the contributors of HubPages.
      I hope you are feeling better, after your recent health issues.
      Thank you for sharing the link in the forum and in the world prompt article.
      Have a wonderful day.

   This is a wonderful write, Chitrangadaji !!
   I am glad to be able to send a response to you through this discussion. We really miss the comments section, which made it very easy to interact on various articles.
   Brenda has given several interesting word prompts and we have got to read lots of informative, thought-provoking and insightful responses.
   The latest prompt on Experiment also looks great. I have read only your response to it. I was out of touch with HubPages for some time now. Back again.
   You have given some good examples on experimenting with school teaching. The poem is precise and catchy and that makes it a great read. I like your remarks on experiments inspired by the pandemic.
   I also experiment on my teachings.  I have done that with my college students in Engineering and had got good results on most of them ....
   Loved and enjoyed reading your article.
   Have a great day !!

      Thank you Vanita, for your kind words of appreciation. I am glad that you liked my response. I do understand that you can relate to this, being a teacher.
      Brenda has shared the links to the responses of the word prompts by fellow writers, through many forums. You can find it on your feed, or in her articles.
      The inability to comment is really disappointing to all of us. Hope they restore this section soon.
      Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts.
