from The Litanies of Mistrust
Never Trust:
a teacher who doesn’t read
a teacher who got straight A’s in high school
a teacher who needs a plus or minus to distinguish a grade
a teacher who knows the date by the text page he’s on
a teacher who can’t return assignments within two days
a teacher hired in September
Never Trust:
a teacher who doesn’t love his subject
a teacher who loves his religion more than his subject
a teacher who’s subject is his religion
a teacher who nominates himself for an award
a teacher who’d rather fund raise than teach
a teacher who measures success only in test scores
Never Trust:
a teacher who can’t tell a joke
a teacher who can’t talk with his hands
a teacher who can’t climb a tree
a teacher who can’t tap dance
a teacher who never pisses off the principal
a teacher who wants to be superintendent
Never Trust:
a teacher with shiny shoes
a teacher who orders all the condiments on the side
a teacher to split the check without itemizing
a teacher who denies his family and concedes to a bad contract
a teacher who thinks he doesn’t need a union
