Some atmosphere for great teaching.
Solution? Dangle a couple of years' salary
in front of everybody over fifty-five who
would retire voluntarily, and accept a
smaller pension. Many who are hanging on
by their toe-nails, emotionally, would leap 'at
it.
That would open the sluice for fresh blook
young ideas and new enthusiasm. It would
be a real shot of adrenalin for. education.
Now we come to the students. They are
not getting the best, because of the
suggestions I've presented: tired old blook
teaching tired old courses ina tiring old way.
But they're not giving the best, either.
Many, •many students are clinging to school
as desperately as their teachers are. They
know it's a, cold. indifferent world out there.
Thus, with either a good allowance from
parents, or a weekend job that produces
plenty of spending money, school is a place
to stay warm, be with friends, and not have

to get out of the nest.
Those are the older students. The younger
ones again in' many, many cases, have not
the wightest idea of good manners, co-
operation, or;self-discipline. They are
boisterous, unruly, mouthy, foul-tongued
and generally obstreperous.
They have almost no knowledge of the.
I Bible, of basic human virtues, of ordinary
courtesy, but base everything on the two
dimensional teaching of television.
Now, let's have a look at the parents of
these kids. In many cases, both are working,
of necessity or materialism. They are too
tired, or haven't time, to give their children
some idea of decency, fair play, good
manners, thrift, or any of the other virtues.
Broken families, single-parent families
are common. Kids are left to get their own
breakfast or fall back into bed if it's nasty
out. They play truant. They get behind,
blame their teachers, feel fustrated and
resentful.
From this comes vandalism, retreat into
dope or booze and all the rest of the sad
story. Some mess, eh? It's enought to kill off
many'a good teacher in his/her prime.
Thank goodness I'm an excellent teacher,
and not one of my students is like those
described. Otherwise, you wouldn't see my
tail for dust.
