Popular-in many ways The symbol of authority for people from ages 6 to 18 is the teacher. They are told by their parents, You had better do as your teacher says. Their brothers and sisters say, Boy, I had her last year. Do I ever feel sorry for you. Their friends say, I ' m tellin ' the teacher on you! By the time they get to school, they have developed an overwhelming awe of their teachers that, in a way, stays with a student until he graduates. Teachers get it from all sides. Kids give them trouble about being too difficult, and parents complain that their kids aren ' t learning anything. Teachers, contrary to popular belief, are human beings, too. But a teacher is always on, always in the public eye. A teacher is a celebrity without any of the advantages and any of the disadvantages. But all teachers are hired to teach. A teacher seems nice, or not so nice. But that ' s not the point. The point is what one learns — and how he learns it. And if you don ' t believe us, we ' ll tell the teacher on you.
