Educational Inspector- an art work by T Newfields Educational Inspector

So ya think yer kompetent ta teach, ehh?

Well, let me inspect yer kredentials
& make sure yer workin' in approved ways.

Zis record shows ya don't support school policies –
yer supposed ta be a model & demonstrate conformity.

This document suggests yer outspoken about many affairs –
good teachers are silent 'n defer to the Chair.

This video footage reveals ya laugh lots in class.
Teachers must be dignified – not crass.

This report suggests you enjoy irony & guile
you should be more diffident & maintain a smile!

For our government you have expressed disdain –
good teachers are cheerful & never act that way.

Are ya qualified ta teach
& guide our precious youth?

The data suggests yer basically trash –
another job iz better fer you.

A custodial position starts next week –
since you have no business teaching
consider that seriously.
Melissa: This poem is grossly exaggerated.
Tim: Perhaps. But beneath the veneer of politeness, it is surprising how gross humans are.
