For the first couple. . of :years,
my old friends in the newspaper
business. were confident. They
knew I'd return to the fold when
I recovered from. this teaching
aberration.
used to hear their < thought
waves. "How hi the 'hell;' they's!
think, ,"can . old Smiley, stand it?',
How can the Boardput up with
him? . He was never cut out ' to
'be a teacher." • . .
At first, I answere their query
with what I hoped was' an elo-
quentshrug and a typical Can-
adian taciturnity.
"Howja , like •teaching? they'd
-ask.:
"Not . bad," .I'd: answer.
After three years in the' teach-
ing game(huh!, some game!) ' I
can state flatly that teaching is
probably the ..most fascinating and
rustrating job in the world..
I canstate flatly' that teaching
is three times as tough. and tea-
chers • three:: times as ° good as
when .you.. and I were young ,• Mag-
gie.
Why is . it. fascinating? I hes-
itate to Say. .'• Teaching is a .thing
that seems to attract . the,. cliche
"The blossoming (or even worse,
the • flowering), of . young minds."
The "thrill of kindling aspark
of knowledge:" The "moulding of
"malleable .metals . in our • youth."
And a lot . ;of jazz like t:Yat.
*" * 1k
That'snot why it's fascinating
The. real• reason.;is that .you can
act as '.theold fencingr. master
:Letting the kids 'try their points
against : yours. Showing . ' them
tricky ripostes .and clever 'foot-
work. Teachingthem, by exam-
ple,: the morals .'and ,manners that
/must gowith the skill '. And then
seeing them go out and enter the.
lists, 'quivering`: •but ,confident,
afraid but :fear.less.
Why is it frustrating? ' Oh, it
is a grinding wrenching, tearing
thing that -.eats your strength. It
is . a , paper jungle.. It is a despair
and dull minds in happy homes.
It is a rage at the democratic,
tax -paid obstacles between. . what
you could do and what you can
do.
* *
I said teaching • is . three times:
as tough today.. It is. There are
more machines, bigger . classes
higher standards, tougher exam-
mations. There is also: psychology,
at home and at school. •
1. said teachers were • three
times ' as good as . they used to
be. It's true. With 'a few 'excep
tions my teachers=and, yours i.old
friend—were mice. ' Frightened,.
naive, poor, apologetic, they. were
fair game ' for • school boards,
home and school ' clubs, . parents
and students. . •
Today . theft& less timid, more
sophisticated,, less 'shabby, less
intolerant; more . interesting, and
just as interested.. • .
Teaching is • this: five'. days a
week, ,. eight:. or nine times • a day
