I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Gatekeepers
Or glorified clerks – that’s all teachers are
At the Wal-Mart School of Higher Education.
And gatekeepers to what? Police action!
Making sure the undeserving become professionals.
Checking up on who’s a victim of child abuse,
Or spousal abuse, or hazing, or bullying,
Because the state legislature mandates it
And those politicians know what they’re talking about.
All answers are in a teacher’s textbook,
And, if not there, then the subject shouldn’t be taught.
Art’s for after school, along with music and chess club.
Teachers volunteer, without pay, for the extra work.
Theater’s also for after school, but not football.
One coach is worth more than twenty teachers.
