18 Teachers Discuss Methods and Goals The job of a yearbook is to faithfully preserve one special year for the people who experienced it. We wait anxiously to find pic- tures of our friends, the best dance of the year, the biggest sports event — and somehow we forget the one thing that brought us all to- gether. The work we do in the classroom and the edu- cation we strive to gain are the reason we are sharing those special times. But, you may say, we all know what goes on in the classroom. Even if we do, when was the last time you thought about how we do it and why? When you hear the word school” you may immediately have an image of students sitting at small desks, writing papers or taking tests. The teacher is behind a desk, too — a mas- sive desk that seems to sep- arate the teacher from the students. If that’s all there is to school, how does any learning ever take place and why do we bother repeating that same old pattern? Looking into classrooms at STA, few teachers were discovered behind those desks. They were standing at the blackboard, sitting in circles with students to dis- cuss issues or leaning over a typewriter to answer a question.

When is this due?” or How long does it have to be?”, they talked openly about why and how they do their jobs. The reason teachers were here at STA was al- most overwhelmingly the students. Nearly every teacher mentioned the teacher student relation- ship as one of the unique as- pects of STA. Most teachers felt the key to that relation- ship was respect. As one teacher pointed out, gain- ing student respect calls for the same qualities as gain- ing anyone else's respect — kindness, compassion and humor. Other teachers mentioned knowledge of the subject matter and en- thusiasm for your material and your students. Main- taining respect was seen as essential also. Try to bluff it, or tell them something you don’t believe,” com- mented Ms. Kate Tumminia (English), ”and you’ll be sure to lose their respect.” What qualities should the student bring to the rela- tionship? When asked to define the ideal student Mr. Robert Cox (Social Studies) replied that the qualities he thinks are necessary are curiosity, self-reliance and responsibility. Ms. Arlene Hernon (Math) responded, (corn, on page 21) Right: Mr. Mark Fudemberg and Sean Rellihan find the time for a playful moment at the family pic- nic.
