so …

            you made me responsible for how my pupils
                           be –
            seemed reasonable enough from the outside I suppose
            I certainly needed someone
            to sharpen up my professionalism –
                           but then

            you made me accountable to how they think
            measured me by their reaction so that now I have to
            make them just behave according to whatever I teach
            rather than teach them how
                           to be
            and now I don’t care what I teach them and neither does it
                           matter

                           and then
            you made me responsible for my pupils’ behaviour accountable to how
                           they feel
            measured me on their compliance so that now I am
                           stupid
            when communicating with them and talk like an officer to them
            so that now they just don’t
                           listen
