Quotidian brutality

The explanation is inadequate, but there isn't time, never enough time.

Do you pretend to get it, or are you going to be a troublemaker? We have a curriculum and a deadline. Quit being selfish.

I've been doing this for ten years, son. You're just a bad student. You'll understand someday, and if you don't it's not like you'll really notice. Run along now.

Always the shameful employee, never the shameless employer. Old wives tell tales and old men drink ales. No benefits, not even of doubts.

Don't ask difficult questions. Just smile and nod. Now we're all complicit in the same lie.
