Actually, they fight common enemies: ignorance - misunderstandings - boredom. Some random thoughts of teachers and students reveal a surprising similarity of positions. We had difficulties in the sixties because dissent had come to the campus. It filtered down to the high school level through older brothers and sisters. Now the kids are finding that there is within the establishment the machinery for change. Our present population is responding to the type of atmosphere around them. Mrs. judith Barnett X Eng All my teachers have been good - I've never really had a bad teacher. l've been more influenced, though, by my English teachers. They were involved in the world of Shakespeare, but they still knew what was going on today. That really made me realize that you could have two viewpoints without worrying about one forcing out the other. Sandra Guerra fju There's a lot more to teaching than just teaching. We impress our students in other ways - a student sees a teacher's attitudes, morals and interest, too. You can scare them into learning, threaten 'em with grades. It seems that nowadays you have to make students want to learn. Motivation is the hardest thing. Mr. john Koepke X Marine Bio One teacher did influence me - my second grade teacher taught us Spanish and English. She didn't discriminate against us or say, 'Do you want it in Spanish?' like some of the other teachers did. Odelia Morales fju l 9
