"How do you like the teach-
ing game?" So many people
have asked me this question in
the past few months that I
thought "I'd try to answer it
here. • My : usual reply is what
I hope is an eloquent shrug.
* * *
One reason I left the news-
paper business for teaching was
that I thought it would give me
more time with my family, 1, s
a weekly editor, 1 was out night
after night, covering meetings,
attending banquets and the like.
The only time I had with the
kids was on week -ends.
* :k*
As a teach.er_1_..sp.end a 1e
more time at home. ,'And I 'see
even Tess of my family. I'm'
locked away in the smoke-filled
little room on the second floor,
five nights a week and most of
Saturday and Sunday. I see so
little of the kids that there are
times when. I can't quite re-
member their first names.
:r• * *
Another reason for embark-
ing on a teaching career was all
those holidays. Two months in
the summer. A week at Christ-
mas 'and another at Easter. Of
course, last summer I had to
go to summer school and work
like a dog for two months. And
thiryenrLhavice•ta:dci:fhe-time;
And .af Christmas' i spent exact-
ly 473i hours, during my holi-
day week, marking papers and
it will "be the same at Easter
And then, at the end of another
year, when I ,am qualified asa
teacher, 1 have to go back to
summer school, for yet another
eight weeks..to get my special=
ist's certificate. But just think
—in 1963 I'lI have the whole
summer .off. That's certainly
better than `the one miserable
week a year I used to take in
the newspaper" business.
'* *
And then, of course, the
money is good. My take-home
pay is better than that of many
truck 'drivers—almost as good
as that of a welder or a brick-
layer. Unlike them, I don't
draw overtime, but think of the
security. All I have to do is
teach fo?.k35 years, an ---1 get
the full pension. Am I ever
go to raise- hell -around --the
lawn bowling' club when I get on
that pension! Wheelchair or no
wheelchair.
* * :k
But all these things are mere
adjuncts to teaching. After all,
_we're_._:not just _ interested -in-;
money and security, are we?
Well, ARE WE? Of course,
we're not. Money is, no more
important than; say, breathing.
No, what We are concerned with
in life is the deep, basic things.
Like, "uh ' s` 01"gfaetiow lw" -'j•ob-
well done, and, uh, the rich re-
ward of guiding • young lives,
and, uh, stuff like that.
:k * *
Ybulave°no aa....of tfi ifirill
a teacher feels when he realizes
that but for the guidance he has
given young Joe, the' latter
might have wound up in the
penitentiary. ,Instead of just
reform school.
* *
And there is nothing to equal
the rich satisfaction a teacher
derives when he has taught
something so difficult that the
sweat is running down his back.
And he knows he is getting
through 'to them when he sees
young Mary's face Tight up like
a flower. And he .nods to her
in kindly fashion when her
hand is raised. And she asks,
rourteously -- and --- intell igentty,
"Sir, may I go to the wash-
room?" It • makes everything
seem, you know, sort of worth -
While: .
* :k*
There's a completely different
atmosphere in the schools these
days. When I was in high
school, if a kid got out of line,
the teacher would clobber him.
My old science teacher could
clip a- large lout right off his
stool, across two desks, -and into
a limp heap of rags on ' the
floor, without disturbing a test-
tube. My old maths teacher
favored a two -knuckle smash
just above the kidneys, which
enabled you to say nothing but
"Huh!- Huh! Huh!" for about
four minutes. •
* * *
That old brufiility has all gone
by. the board now, and a good
thing, I say...Nowadays, if'a kid
does something that disqualifies
him for a sound belt in the
chops, you realize he's not
doing it iu;t for hellery, he's
emotionally disturbed.
,* * :k
And 'the kids appreciate it.
Aside from the fact that they'd
have a lawyer on you if you
gave them a dirty look, theres
a wonderful new sympathy be-
tween'teacher and student. I'll
bet there's not a single kid in'
any of my grades who would
refuse to sign the class card of
condolence to my wife, if I
were to be run down by a
bulldozer.
* * *
How do 1 like teaching? Well,
say, I haven't really time to
discuss it, right now. 1 have
four hours' homework to do, an
examination to prepare, and an
hour's--work-on- the schooLyear
book- a Come back and ask me
in the summer of '63.
