‘but, Mark, what do you want …?’
well let’s see now what have I got, oh –
decades of experience and experimentation and care –
hmmm
to be consulted-involved-included in the Great and Noble task at hand but don’t give me your shiny responsibility, there is no value in ambush-eyed pursuit of target-endeavour, I’m tired of watching the triangle fall from its point again and again and I’m tired of being measured wanting every time it won’t let me be a part of the dialectic, even though it holds me responsible for the outcomes
every time
I either play the Manipulate-the-Outcomes Game
and be ‘successful’
or I can offer my work and thought out of value
and be ignored
but I cannot play this Game with value although
I must submit my worth to the judgement of its consequence:
inglorious
ignominy
so I am left helpless to teach with value versus teaching with outcomes
and the ‘value’ isn’t manifesto-led marching-and-drum
but simply the human practice and craft of communicating and moving pupils
on
that’s all
the very value that managerialism marginalises as being detrimental to [outcome -led]
progress
outcome-led requires value-practiced to be either/or rather than
pre/with
I don’t want either/or so don’t ask me
what I want
let me be
what I practise
