(This is not a type of purse.) But I tried. I did try. I walked through the halls exuding false con­ fidence, conservatism, and daring, in my modest suit, my white shirt, my dark tie, my black shoes, and my dedicated expression. It didn’t work. Oh, a few students respected me, especially when they could get me off the track of the lesson and talking about real life. A few girls fell in love with me for periods as long as six weeks. But one can only hold his thumb in the dyke for so long. No pun intended. They overcome you by sheer numbers. Today, when a teacher walks down the hall, he no longer feels like Mr. Chips. He feels more like a referee at a boxing match, as he darts in, trying to break up a clinch in which one of the participants is in danger of being strangled. By a tongue. One of my students, Grade 9, wears across the not-inconsiderable chest of her T-shirt the legend, “No Browsing”. And perhaps that’s why a dozen teachers have died young, in their 30s and 40s, while I’ve been at it, and three colleagues at time of writing, are in the intensive care ward of the hospital, with heart attacks. Not an old person among the lot. Perhaps I’ll join them one of these days, and we could play bridge, flat on our backs. Or does anyone have a job for an old editor who would trade 160 kids a day for a 60-hour week, with one week’s holidays?
