The vi­ral last place break­dancer is a lec­tur­er at Sydney’s Mac­quar­ie Uni­ver­si­ty with a PhD with her the­sis fo­cus­ing on the in­ter­sec­tion of gen­der and Sydney’s break­ing cul­ture. That’s dope. 

She has stud­ied and is high­ly ed­u­cat­ed, rec­og­nized for­mal­ly by the es­tab­lish­ment, and teach­es oth­ers. Also dope. 

AND. (Re­spect­ful­ly, I mean, sis made the Olympics) SHE’S. WACK.
 

Ever heard of “those who can’t do, teach?”

This is that. 

It’s the rea­son we’ve got peo­ple teach­ing and lead­ing po­et­ry pro­grams that can’t bring a page to life or spit a verse and give you chills. And they’re the biggest rea­son peo­ple don’t like or re­late to poetry. 

Acad­e­mia can’t cer­ti­fy or le­git­imize move­ments of the peo­ple. They don’t have that pow­er, only that much ego. 

Cul­ture and craft are best stud­ied on the street cor­ner not the classroom.
