School: It's a BRICK HOUSE

 

I’m a “teacher—in quotes because I’m not interested 

in teaching.Plenty of teachers abound galore--good ones

& indifferent, and who can  blame the indifference 

considering the conditions our condition  is in: an

environ-mentality of instruction & information transfer 

when all human knowledge lap-dances & hums in our

pockets,  riding wristwatches and spectacles and we’re

forcing the issue—with ex-officio grade-gun motive, 

covering the ground, getRdone, move on down the road 

and let no child be left behind.Accountability.  Know 

what you’re doing, Do it.  Say what you did..

How it’s always been

I hope it’s the case that I “teach” nothing nobody

already doesn’t know—no news here, turn it up: 

put it in play. Provocation. Calling forth. Educing 

for crying out loud—education. “But if you  aim to

provoke, Sam,” a colleague tells me: “you might 

provoke.” Risky business. Oops, oh shit, damnit—

I’m sorry, so sorry. Apocalypse now and then  

My apologies. Crime against convention.   It’s a

brick house. .
