Well, first we must examine the role of ’’the teacher” - how he she or it, is required or elected to perform, and ask the consequent question why?, that is only an examina- tion of a teacher'' (the word teacher referring to those paid-by-the-public to sit in a classroom for either 18 or 36 weeks and hope the Student retains a surfeit of stuff to attain scholastic credit) Okay no more vacant attempt at Nothing any- way. A teacher is actually a person who, through experiences with this person, one receives knowledge and perhaps attains an understanding and wisdom to utilize that knowledge effec- tively. Steve Laatsch A teacher is someone who keeps the class in order with a chair and whip. Kim Clanahan What is a teacher? A person who is here for our benefit and theirs. Just to try to get us to learn some- thing that it took years for them to learn. Teachers are mean, sweet and gentle. Some really want to teach and some just want to be mean because of something that has hap- pened to them in the past, so they take it out on us. Thank gosh I’m not a teacher. Angie Woods teacher is like a prehistoric animal . ld, onery, and mean. So to speak. 19 Bill Wyatt
