Definition: The act of excepting or excluding; exclusion; restriction by taking out something which would otherwise be included, as in a class, statement, rule.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
Today we’re tackling the word “exceptions,” it's quite a trick, you see.
The dictionary gives us a clue, precise and neat,
It says it’s about "excluding," a definite feat!
Think of a rule, a general plea,
“Everyone must do this, you agree?”
But then…
pause for dramatic effect
... an exception appears!
A special case that conquers all the fears.
It's like saying, “This rule applies to most,
But
this one person
gets a little boost!”
So "exceptions" are things that break the mold,
Things that aren’t covered, stories yet untold.
Like a student who’s brilliant and quick,
Might get an exception – a shortcut, slick!
Or maybe a rule about dress code too,
An exception might be for a special shoe!
It's all about
taking out
what would normally be included, you see?
A little bit of difference, wild and free!
Does that make sense, my dears? Any questions to share?
