seen but not heard
I expected to participate and share
in the discussion and very endeavour
to which I had offered my thought and creation
not side-lined off somewhere
out of the way of the grown-ups
and told I was valued only if I whinged enough

Not only in teaching I’m afraid; original thought and contributions are not highly valued anywhere at present (unless tightly bound to anodyne commercialism or simplistic “goals”) and for some of us it’s too late to wait for the wheel to turn again. 😔
