She has got to be hardg she even has a Doctor- ate, the student silently says. Excluding Senior Principal Dr. James Carthel, Dr. Susan Evers is the only teacher with af Doctorate. The thing my Doctorate has done for me is to enable me to say 'I donitknow' with- out losing status with my students, Dr. Evers said. t t g After having taught at Memorial, Dr. Evers returned to school herself for her Doctorate. I taught here for around two years then went. and got my Doc- torate in Chemistry. After that I did part-time work teaching at colleges for three or four years. I didnit like work- ing part-time so I cameback here and have been here ever since, she said Dr. Evers is in a position tobe to observe both college and high ssc' objectively. I enjoy teaching co1 courses more than high school col but high school students are ni emoyable to teachf' she said. I Though Dr. Evers has her Doctc in Chemistry, she teaches Physics think our Physics course that is ta here is good. It is more what the dents Want and do than the textbt The textbook we are using now is E ple, and I feel our students could l dle a more sophisticated book. Q In the past few years education been carefully scrutinized and reet ated. Most people believe that quality of education has gone d when maybe it is the quality of the dents that has gone down. - 30 - -Cynthiat
