                just saying, is all VII:

                the drive to de-power the worker
                in public service; you cannot
                call-the-shots-because-you-are-an-expert
                … because you are the worker

                if you are calling the shots you must be
                a manager of some thing so that
                you can then be held accountable
                for the shots you call – kept on message.

                If You Are not a Manager you Cannot
                Call the Shots. Even if you are a genius;
                ‘take a responsibility, then we’ll listen
                to you’, I wouldn’t on the principle they

                wouldn’t listen to, they didn’t listen on the
                principle that I had no voice without responsibility
                compromise; de-experting workers
                is inexorable to production, in fact

                                   g’morning

                      “yes …
            but is it as good as you say it is
                      does it not depend on
                      how well you said it;
                                   is it good for all,
            how could you make it good for everyone
                      are you qualified to make it good
                                   I own the word good^TM
                      … is it good, is it morning, shouldn’t it
                                   be day
                                   come back here
                                              while I’m talking to you …?”

                           … just saying, is all I

                           it is a vanity
                           to think you can regulate
                           and quantify teaching
                           and build your career
                           through managing it

                           it is sociopathic
                           to scrutinise the life out of
                           the dialectic of nurture
                           and call it professional
                           development
