for EW Re: EW!! How did your presentation go?

[Guest guest]

Since you are talking about teaching I must tell you a true story about a

friend of mine. This happened 43 years ago. She just graduated college and began

her FIRST DAY AS A TEACHER. They assigned her a high school.

She was 23 years old. Can you imagine, a young woman of 23 in a room with

teenagers? She was in that class for 5 minutes. 5 MINUTES!!

A VERY TALL teenage boy stood up, looked her in the eye, picked up a typewriter

and threw it against the window and out the window shattering everything. He

then looked at her and said " Now what are you going to do?? "

She walked out, came home, never went back and became a librarian. When she told

me the story I absolutely could not believe this happened to her.

It did.
