The importance of listening is very important. Everyone should listen. This is what happened to me when I didn't listen:One day I was sitting, talking, having a conversation that wasn't very important. The teacher warned me several times, but I ignored. Then I pulled a book out and read, but forgot to get my homework and missed the bus. Then Joy came to pick me up. I went to go get my homework. Then Mrs. Callachan let me get my homework and went over what happened. Everyone should listen because you might miss something important.
