Abstract
It is becoming clear that standard, linear solutions to the problems of
resistant children are problematic because they imagine a world of schooling in
which place and power do not matter. Poetry can challenge the typically linear,
prescriptive, and modernist assumptions that are central to much educational
theory and practice. In this article, drawing on original poetry composed in
and around schools, I analyze a series of reflective disruptions in the interplay
of strategy and tactics in my own teaching career. The broad argument of this
paper is that educators ought to recognize, promote and embrace the messiness
and complexity of our work rather than retreat into simplifications and
technical fixes.
