AW THE MOMENTS OF TEACHING Who said teaching is dull? Those who have never tried, that's who! l'm sure that we all have been con- fronted with very memorable situations. l would like to share one of my unusual experiences with you. One week I taught a lesson about Santa Claus in different lands to primary pupils. We concluded that there is only one Santa Claus, even though his name and dress differ in various countries. Then l noticed one usually active boy who was suddenly ominously quiet. Following a suggested teaching technique, I asked him the next question. He completely ignored the question and stated very calmly, There is no Santa Claus shot down. Lucy Longo
