Tacit Teaching
We use tacit teaching by facial expressions,
"body English" gestures and subtle directions.
We use tacit teaching about things we'll accept
in overt behavior and what to give respect.
We use tacit teaching about our points of view
in important matters and why to see them true.
We use tacit teaching about personal space
in our close encounters and how deep to embrace.
We use tacit teaching about the way we feel
in every situation and when to make a deal.
We use tacit teaching about roles we assign
in the stages of life and where to draw the line.
We use tacit teaching by facial expressions,
"body English" gestures and subtle directions.
