sep uut sfrfcc by biu smiley ever have a day when you feel depressed even surlv yvith no ap parent reason thats the way i am today usually a sweettempered lo vable chap i feel right now like kicking the crutches out from under some old gentleman try ing to get across the street be fore the light changes but after a wild look around to see if theres something i could destroy without making wiv wife sore like maybe a paper cup ive discovered the source of my vile mood there thev sit stack ed about the floor of my studv those piles of trivia on which ive spent the past eight hours with no jyou havent been fired the idea that youre an excellent if not outstanding teacher then you start to read what your students have learned from you in the past six months nothing zero you have mere compounded their ignorance you have only confused the simple teenage philosophies they have acquired from television hooten- anies mad magazine and the pool room some young and tender teach crs faced with this shattering moment have been known to turn green rush to the school board offer their resignations and even in drastic cases at tempt to pay back the salaries they have accepted since sep tember for the older tougher teachers it is not quite such a traumatic experience oh they may swear a bit tear their hair a bit and froth obvious change in their attitude shghtlv at the mouth but thev do exam papers marking exam papers is i guess good for the soul if about the only thing it is good for its hard on the eyes the nerves the tailbonc and the temper but it has a salutary effect on the ego its a little like trying to pull in vour stomach and finding your chest doesnt go out any more or catching that first hor rible glimpse of the naked bald spot which ou thought was merely a thinning on top yes its humbling you have begun to build up with no reallv good reason except that esfect i junior farmer night not offer to return their salaries the last known case of this among older teachers was in 1714 the more experienced teach crs accept this disillusionment as they do the changing of the seasons thev know that by some magic alchemy of spring easter holidays parental pres sure and three months of un relenting labor on their own parts it will be all sorted out b tune and most of the kids will advance a grade and it must be admitted that marking exams is not unmitigat ed misery it has its moments from my study my wife has dash ed up the stairs ready to cail the boys in the white coats theres the student who tries the shot gun approach scatter your gems as yy idely as possible and youre boundto hit some thing right one such in a re cent history exam identifiei john d rockefeller thus we was a prime minister of eng land and very important in the labor

for her ansyycr hei father is one and then of course amid the welter of confusion comes the sudden stab of pure refreshing delight the discovery of an 01- iginal perceptive mind trving to make sense out of all this nonsense its like finding a solid piece of gnound in a swamp a cool spring in the de sert thats the moment when the poor old teacher is hooked once again by that most nutating ol nuisances faith in the inline ol the human race and bleary eyed but yvith a lighter heart he bows his yvearv head once more over the jm4 014 bay on several occasions responding the wasteland of yyords
