His entrance disarranged the attention of the senior Latiners of the sixth. My father frowned, and said, "What do you mean, boy, by tumbling through the classroom door like a cart of bricks? Come quietly; and sit down, Agnes Anne!" This was my poor unfortunate sister, aged fourteen, whom a pitiless parent compelled to do classics with the senior division.
The Negro teachers were cordially received by the ex-slaves who were glad to welcome some "Yankee niggers" into their midst. Whereas the white teachers did not bother with the Negroes except in the classroom, other white men came who showed a decided interest in them.
The piano stood in an outside classroom, where no one could hear whether she was diligent or idle, and she soon gave up playing and went to the window. Here, having dusted the gritty sill with her petticoat, she leaned her chin on her two palms and stared out into the sunbaked garden. It was empty now, and very still.
Any teacher can take a child to the classroom, but not every teacher can make him learn. He will not work joyously unless he feels that liberty is his, whether he is busy or at rest; he must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way bravely through a dull routine of textbooks.
At nine forty-five she left the classroom and went straight to Mrs. Goodwin's room, but Mrs. Goodwin was not in. She went on to the Infirmary. This time she knocked and stepped back well from the door. Mrs. Goodwin came out, closing the door behind her. Her face looked serious, though she tried to speak lightly.
Jack made a circuit of the buildings on tiptoe, and then returned to his companion. "All the classroom windows are fast," he said, "but there's one on the first landing belonging to the bathroom that's open. What we must do is this. Under the bench in the workshop is that ladder thing that Preston and I made last year. We must fetch it, and you must hold it while I get up to the window.
"You young fool! don't you see that if you do more than what's set, he'll think we can all do the same, and make the lessons longer." "Of course he will!" added several voices. "Just you mind what you're up to," continued Teal, "or you'll get what you won't like." "Pass on there! What are you waiting for?" cried Mr. Rowlands, appearing in the doorway of his classroom, and the gathering dispersed.
But they are fettered by routine: they are not stimulated and sustained by the consciousness that their private studies may be made directly available in the classroom. They lead two lives, as it were one as professor, the other as thinker and reader and there is not the proper action and reaction between the two. The remedy is as easy to propose as it would be difficult to apply.
And if it means that teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear school uniforms. I challenge our parents to become their children's first teachers. Turn off the TV. See that the homework is done. And visit your children's classroom. No program, no teacher, no one else can do that for you.
A minute before breakfast we heard the steps of Monsieur Mareschal and of the new boy in the quiet courtyard. Every head was turned at once to the door of the classroom. Father Haugoult, who participated in our torments of curiosity, did not sound the whistle he used to reduce our mutterings to silence and bring us back to our tasks.
