I was just listening to a video about the department of education ramping up the learning standards for schools. They said that by 4th grade children should know the difference between poetry and prose. Well, I’m in the 9th grade and I have never even heard of prose. Can you tell me what it is please?

Same here! Not until a week ago i had no idea. Prose is the writing with no verses, rhythms, and it is like story writing, while poetry is, well, poetry!
Prose is the most typical form of language. The English word ‘prose’ is derived from the Latin pr?sa, which literally translates as ‘straight-forward.’
Prose lacks the more formal structure of a poem, in the guise of either a meter or rhyme, but instead comprises full sentences, which then constitute paragraphs
Poetry often has some rhymes and relationships between its words,
while prose does not.
