These are just a few words that McGa- vock students use to describe Sylvia Slack, an English teacher here at McGa- vock. Miss Slack has been teaching for nine years. Her first five years of teaching were at Dupont Junior High. While at Dupont she taught English, general busi- ness, and crafts. After five years at Dupont, Miss Slack moved to McGavock, and this is her fourth year here. Her first three years she taught only sophomore English. This year, she is still teaching sophomore Eng- lish, but she is also teaching a few fresh- man English classes. Miss Slack has lived in Nashville all of her life. She attended Peabody College while doing her undergraduate work. While there she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. After attending 4 Peabody she went on to attend Middle Tennessee State University for her grad- uate work. There she received a Master of Education in Guidance and Counseling. Helpful in many ways, Miss Slack gains a certain friendship with her students. She enjoys teaching students as much as they enjoy learning from her. One stu- dent said, ‘‘Miss Slack is a strict teacher, but you want to learn because she is your friend.” : Students seem to look up to Miss Slack, not as a teacher, exactly, but as a friend. They feel as though Miss Slack knows what is going on and that they can go to her and she will take time to help them in any way possible. Students say Miss Slack is fair; she treats everybody the same. Schools need more teachers who take a special interest in their students as well as teach them. Teachers like Miss Slack make learning a new experience!
