What Is Your Educational Philosophy

What is your philosophy? The expert at work asked.
He was putting on airs, and I simply wanted to pass.
What are your educational theories and dichotomy? He demanded.
I thought him arrogant and off-putting, and ever so highhanded.

It was my first second at this school, not in the building yet.
I was carrying six boxes, and holding two bags by their net.
I prefer to keep my ideas firmly in my head, I told the silly man.
Surely you have theories, he argued, without lifting a single hand.

Yes, I certainly do, I thought but you are above rude and no help.
I nodded and marched back to my car for my net and greenish kelp.
Can’t hold the door, he told me, as he whisked in holding not a thing.
Come and tell me your theories when you get time and everything.

Thank you my friend. I always find one, but usually there is only one or two in each school building.
