Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - January 13, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa If you miss your news Call 75 City cab Between f 30 and 7 00 p. it. Pleasant news Cloudy so these Days by George e. Sokosky the problem of education a Corial science Leacher writes me that teacher Aie not allowed to teach. This brings a Down to Bedrock in a very serious problem namely that our children probably get More Cooling and know in a than children who attend european schools. The evidence is available on tins subject because j when children from abroad come to our schools they arc regarded As blight children whereas when we stud cur children abroad they need tot eat h Uit and it is not All due to the language difficulty. The t Acher who is now holding a Job writes me a the administrator expect the ladders to a teach the whole child but teach Hun nothing. Anything that require s work on tile part f the stud it is frowned upon eve Irti ring must be easy and John j by lust alway be Happy and Nev j or know failure. As a result of this i philosophy Johnny reaches high1 school without knowing How to read or write or do simple Anthine to problems the remarkable thing i that some few do learn these thine fairly Wail.

Why Are so Many of his pupils marked of Why Are there not More c8 the truth of course is that there ought to be even More f s. The teachers Are afraid to Malk As they should. Why should smart Young men or women go into teaching when tin y arc not permitted to teach and ii to Ley spend enough years in the system what Eire is there to Dot the Ohio teacher asks a new what is the High school to Acher to do if i tries to get it me work out of the student or has Many failures he is called the principals office.
