Everythingfromthe alphabet to advanced nuclear physics is taught by the same teachers. The ability to communicate with fellow man is the basis of living. Therefore, from the beginnings of school, students are taught the language arts. Teachers have aroughjob in this field, Students must learn to read wellg to speak correctlyg to write accurately. And they must enjoy themselves in the pro- cess. It is not an easy job, especially at the teaching end.
