I think I would find another poem that all school children should memorize. But, I don't know many poems to give a good answer for myself. I suppose I would choose one that taught morals, like Kipling's that you shared in the past. What would you make children memorize ?
I think the act of memorizing is more important than the poem itself. I would want to curate a list of 100 or so poems per grade level and have them memorize one they like each and every month.
