TEACHER MAN BY FRANK MCCOURT
July 27, 2009Heres an article on teaching that I found interesting:
Isn’t it remarkable, I thought, how the students whined and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject?
But when they forged excuse notes, they were brilliant. The notes I had could be turned into an anthology of Great American Excuses. They were samples of talent never mentioned in song, story or study.
- The stove caught fire and the wallpaper went up and the fire department kept us out of the house all night.
- His sister’s dog ate his homework and I hope it chokes him.
The writers of these notes didn’t realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off.”
“This is the first class to study the art of the excuse note—the first class, ever, to practice writing them. You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study.”
Until the principal entered, along with the superintendent of schools. Neither acknowledged me. They walked up and down, peering at papers. The superintendent picked one up, showed it to the principal. The superintendent frowned. The principal pursed his lips.
On their way out, the principal said the superintendent would like to see me.
Here it comes, I thought. The reckoning. The principal was sitting at his desk; the superintendent was standing. “Come in,” said the superintendent. “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that project, whatever you were doing, was topnotch. Those kids were writing on the college level.”
