Sunday at Langside. SUGAR AND SPICE by Bill Smiley More on education This', was supposed tobe. part two of 'a ;series on education in this country. Last week, I :com- plained about: ; obsolescence; the lack of everything but pu- pils; the unfairness of the fund- raising for; education; the' lack of any national standards; and the •rigidity of practically ev- erything in the system.,Not',bad; for ` a start. In -all the years I. wrote this eolunin before I began'. peddling pedagogy, nobody tried to 'sup press my opinions here: Many disagreed. '., violently. Others threatened to cancel their sub- scriptions. Some said I was vul- gar. And one, reverend 'gentle- man gentleman: even offered to thrash me, within an inch of my 'life. 1 re- mindedhim thatmy big broth- er:.was a six -foot -two, 210 -pound engineer, and I . never heard another word. The ''first ,:'hint that I should tone ' it.. down , came • from a representative of 'the ,mighty teacher s' federation. Said they'd had several letters froni members urging that 'I' be drummed out of the service be- cause I •s destroying: •the teacher's 'imageby mentioning here such human horrors as sex and drink,' and by using. the odd ' epithet: ' He asked me heavily What I would do in his position. I 're- plijed lightly that I'd do what I always ,dowith letters from cranks and bigots -- chuck 'em in the wastebasket. He was an- noyed. Pinned • down, he admit ted there were two such Letters. And I . was annoyed. ` • ••• Second subtle suggestion. was , from'an inspector. A lady. She' passed the word that the Depu- . ty Minister, no less, was con- cerned about my column and • its contents. I turned indigo and snarled, `You mean the Department is trying to tell me what I can say and can't say in my column?" "Nonononono!", she blurted, visions of headlines dancing in her head, • "It's merely hoped that'• you'll 'use your, own good judgment.,"- Next time, it bias another in- spector., At the time, a now' -de funet newspaper for 'teachers was. running ° my column. The paper was happy; the fan mail was heavy. But, whispered this inspector, he .thought he should tell me, for my own sake, that I . was getting Y in wrong with the ,:federation. " "Waddayae tokkin about!", I enquired in my . best Read of : .:English. ' Department , ' manner. And got no answer that I could pin down I seem to be down on inspec- tors this week. And so I am. We got, the/ word the English in- spectorswere` coming: I alerted ;,` my 15 -odd birds the. English' department. Next morning, the English staff ,would have gladdened your eye. Gals all in their best, dresses, hair ''fresh -done.. Men with • .their shoes shined. And every single one 'glowing with virtue after working :till ''one: .' a.m. preparing the sort, of 'un realistic but model lessons that inspectors expect. Nine a.m. • Word comes that they wouldn't be there.,' Snow- ing and blowing: Any of us. would have struck off for any- where.' But; these city -nurtured drivers are, terrified by, a bit of • wind• and snow. So we shot off all those ter- rific lessons on the kids. Mine. laughed, heartilywhen they saw •' my desk'cleaned .off. It was the first time they'd Seen me below the breast -bone in ,months. And tomorrow we have to do it all over again, because the y inspectors arestill coming, if they can make it. May they go into 'a big snow -bank and sit there for four hours. If they do. struggle' through, it will be an anti -climax. The girls' ' oesses. are , crushed • and their, hair coming down. 'And I sure as hell 'am not going, to shine • my 'shoes: two days in a row. Just another of the evils of our system..A teacher is given a: record of merit by an itnspec-: tor,'who :,sees him maybe once`a year, for one : or : two lessons. The self-confident showman, who may be a lazy bum normal- ly, whips up a flashy lesson for inspection, and . scores high. The self-conscious teacher, who normally does a terrific job, be comes nervous and makes a botch of°things, and scores low;' I don't really hate inspectors,,` They've changed. They are no , longer the -'old , terrors; but a pretty decent, helpful lot. But, the system is, 'punk:, More next week, Maybe. pnesbyt The Februar Afternoon. Au: byterian W.
