anyone else who, worn by win-

th and humor, I have a spring

cents, and read it. I came across
it on the weekend and changed
my mind about quitting the
teaching profession.

it's called a novel, but isn't.
Its a •record of the first term
of a young, pretty high school
teacher in a huge: New York
secondary school.
It's itt ndcr and touching and
utterly hilarious. And beneath
the fun is'a shocked and often
bitter indictment of what, the
educational system is doing, or
failing to do, tor the yast mass
of to tigers. As educators and
others have pointed out, the
cream of the crap will rise to
the top. The bottom ten per
cent, is having millions of dol-
lars spent to help them. It's
the great mob in the middle
that gets the dirty end of the
stick.
* *
Conditions in the school de-
scribed are much worse than
those in the average Canadian'
high school, but the parallels
are there.
Avalanches of paper, most of
it unnecessary. Crowded con-
ditions everywhere. The admin-
istration thinks discipline more
important than learning. The
librarian doesn't like the library
used because the kids don't put

And the counsellor tries to an-
alyze all the kids with phony
Freud.

And lho teachers, are there:
the workhorses. the whiners, the
beaten, those who don't like
kids, and those who, in spite of
it all, know,,,t-hey're doing the
most important lob in the
world.
But is it not basically a bitter
book. And most of the humor
comes from those fascinating
animals, the kids themselves.

The to/:her asks the kids to
tell briefly why we study ant
dent myths and the Odyssey.

One answer; "I'm sure there
are many reasons Why we study
these things, but I missed it
due to rhsence."

Anothe/ "Because everybody
in high school at one time or
another had to read it, and now
it's our ,turn."

Another: "We read it because
it's a classicle."

The young teacher has a "sug-
gestion boat" where her students
wereallowed to drop ideas,
anonymously. Some were scur-
rilous, some threatening, some
funny.
