Will I Make A Good Teac‘ “I like children and have worked for two years in summer camps. Before I spend a year at Teachers’ College are there some tests I could take to determ- ine whether or not I will make a good teacher?” T. C. â€"- Richmond Hill Thank you for submitting such a sensible ques- tion. For the last few years there has been a‘sur- plus of teachers and the competition at the colleges is nearly vicious. Many are counselled out as they proceed through the year. It is unfortunate that they weren’t told before they‘d sacrificed a year that they wouldn’t make good teachers. The exam- ining board at the colleges will not help you make this decision ahead of time. Since the colleges are publicly financed it is not politic for them to refuse admission to a particular student. I remember once they tried to remove a student. When pressed for a reason they admitted that they felt he was over- weight. A very fat M.P. brought it to their attenâ€" tion that obesity was not a very valid criteria for determining future success or failure. a w... The student was reinstated, passed and hired (mainly because of the meat). Usually, then, if you’re warm. breathing and not plagued with social diseases you’ll be admitted to a Teachers’ College. Unfortunately, liking children is no guarantee either that you’ll be successful. Was it W. C. Fields who said, “Anyone who hates dogs and kids can’t be all bad”? Wanting to become a teacher because you love kids is similar to a person 'wanting to become a furniture salesman because he likes wood. AnsWer these questions honestly. Are you a good scholar? Even in kindergarten they can ask the most penetrating questions. Technical answers aren’t required but you can’t afford to mislead or misinform. You should have a wide background in all disciplines so that future teachers don’t have to “unteach.” Are you ambitious and hard-working? In my View, a good teacher has to do a tremendous amount of thinking and planning before she ever sets foot in the classroom. Your aims and objectives have to be so well internalized that no matter what vehicle the'children wish to use the teacher will see that skills and concepts are fully developed. “I like children and have in summer camps. Before I sp College are there some tests ] ine whether or not I will mak1 Are you emotionally secure? Success in many professions is easily measured. Does the surgeon lose his patients? Does the mechanic fix the car? But in education there is no product. They used to measure a teacher’s success by the percentage of honor papers of her grade 13 students. We finally came to realize that what was happening to the stud- ent WHILE he learned was.sometimes more import- ant than WHAT he learned. Your usually dull. list- less English class has finally caught fire in discus- sion, you’ve finally got them involved to the place where they’ll talk excitedly about Shakespeare and the inspector says, “They are very noisy.” Will you be secure enough to smile and say, “I’m so pleased to see them this way for a change.” Will you treat students as if they were people? Will you have as much patience with them, as much empathy for them. kindergarten or grade 13 as if they were your own? If you’ve pushed and tugged at size 12 rubbers trying to get them over size 14 shoes (losing some finger nails in the process) and hear him say. “They’re not mine", what will you do 1’ Will you peel them off again with a smile? And when he informs you “They’re my sister’s but my mom makes me wear them,” what will you do? Will you remember how painful growing up is sometimes without a lot of love and understanding? Being a good teacher demands great mental, physical and emotional strength. If you’re prepared to give it then good luck.

Her contention was that "the basic qualities of the child are wrapped up at the moment of conception” and that abortion is “the death of a human life.” She backed up 'her argument with colored slides of actual fetus’ which had been aborted.
