Brilliant Question If You Ask Me

The competition is on at work.
Elementary school teachers
Most in their own queendom
Two in kingdoms
We are discussing job interviews
One question was really silly, Mrs. Bee told us.
“What was the last book you read?”
Made her really mad, 
as she had not read
a book since college’s
required reading.
She is in her forties.
Brilliant question if you ask me
As our goal is to create 
lifelong learners.

M. L. Kiser April 22, 2019 at 4:34 PM A teacher who hasn't read a book since college? That's a crime!

Gershon Wolf April 22, 2019 at 12:11 PM I'm with you here, on both the question and the lifelong goal...George W. Bush would like it too. He was an avid reader, as was his wonderful wife Laura, of course. .. So have all of our Presidents, 'till our current WHO (Occupant). ~ gw
