"If the students had their material graded by a peer or read in the class and it was examined for sentence structure, .punctuation and grammer it would be wor- thwhile but I can't do that myself and still teach English".

He said he recalled inspectors coming to his class and checking the register, looking over the day book and checking the cupboards. He said some inspectors tend to be picky, being more concerned about how neatly _feathers write on the black- board than how students are progressing in their schooling.

He said he found tremendous satisfaction working with kids and establishing a rappott with them. He said he couldn't put into words the feeling he got when a student started. the year an under:achiever and finished an over -achiever.
