TKF. BLUE AND WHITE Hoir.ew jrk Teachers sej dom realir.e the difficulties connected with a student s homework. They assign the lessons arid then their part is over. Some teachers say, ’’You’ll have to put more time on this lesson,” Well, until you cut a certain amount of time or. each lesson it is time to stop studying, Tir y may say, Wall, you have all evening to prepare ycur v;rrk.” Yes, that may ce their idea, tut the fall owing explains what usually hapT ens in student's hemes each evening. Ranh family, of course, has its favorite radio program, and these usually take place early in the evening. Then one thinks to himself (o, r»H wait until this program is ever and the family goes cut tefere I be in to study). The room finally quiet, he proceeds with is work. Ten minutes passed and the telephone rings and it is unuall the wrong number or eJ.se someone has just called up because he had nothing ei3r to do. Another attempt is nAde when the doorbell rings. So re frj.er.ds have called for a short visit with his parents, hut since they are out, they talk with him for a shert time. Soon after that his parents return and tell him about the events of the evening. Presently they retire and he is again alone. Eow fast the time goes,' It is very late so he stops studying with very little accompJ.ished. Ho plans to arise, early in the morning, cut when morning comes there is. a different story, and he goes to school with no'mere work finished than the night before. When one goes to olas that day without his lessor, prepared, the teacher says, Will you please give me a reason for this? (no really can t give a good reason and if he says that he forgot the assignment or that he was absent yesterday, the teacher replies, That’s what they all sa.-, or, You might haye asked srrecne. So you see students receive very little sympathy from teachers and it really isn’t their fault tint the lesson is unprepared for they have mace an attempt at Jeast. —Lucille Oren Noll's Bakery I. W.
