In a day and age when Educare has become grossly commercial I received this in my mail this morning from my brother-in-law (himself a teacher).
No one would call this the golden era of teaching, not with school budgets getting slashed, state governors routinely scoring political points at teachers’ expense, and the federal government forcing schools to teach to the test. But if today’s teachers are feeling beleaguered, they can always look back to a set of historical “documents” for a little comfort. For decades, museums and publishers have showcased two lists — one from 1872 (above) and another from 1915 (below) — that highlight the rigorous rules and austere moral codes under which teachers once taught. You couldn’t drink or smoke. In women’s cases, you couldn’t date, marry, or frequent ice cream parlors. And, for men, getting a shave in a barber shop was strictly verboten.
Carl Singleton:
School systems have contributed to massive ignorance by issuing unearned passing grades over a
period of some 20 years. At first there was a tolerance of students who did not fully measure up (giving D's
to students who should have received firm F's); then our grading system continued to deteriorate (D's
became C's, and B became the average grade); finally we arrived at total accommodation ( come to class
and get your C's, laugh at my jokes and take home B's).
