poessay IX – … just saying, is all II
listening
to a teacher delivering to his group: “… them’s the rules and regulations … it is vital that … looking smart …”
… something about school uniform
I guess
it is this corporate appearance – led rhetoric in education
which I can no longer even pretend to back
because career-long I have not been able to engage any
dialogue with it
being ‘professional’ has ceased to be a practice
it is now a conformity
it is now a consistency
no dialogue
just expectation
and we all know what happens to consistency when the lead shifts
from value-led to outcomes-led
(yes … value-bled)
I have not been able to work out a position
behind the rhetoric because
I have not been allowed the ‘give’ (of course the ‘take’ is ‘rivers deep mountains wide’)
the ‘call’
and certainly the ‘response’
has been dodged and bluffed like a poker hand
the exercise and practice of teaching professionalism
has been ‘chumped’ up down and sideways
never to be listened to again and again and again
