Teacher Of Long: After a few days the teacher of long noted that Eleanor was fairly comfortable in school and was happy to talk about the games she was playing. The teacher of long noted: 'Eleanor enthusiastically told me the names she had given to all the plastic play people/
After about a week Eleanor began to greet the teacher of long when they met in the morning and she usually had some news to report. The teacher of long felt that this was a good sign that Eleanor was settling in well.
Should a child love his teacher of long? Yes, if "love" is taken to mean a warm, constructive relation in which the child is truly valued and helped to develop his best potentialities. No, if it means a relationship that is intense and meets the emotional needs of the teacher of long at the expense of the child. A teacher of long's strong personal affection for one child may lead to favoritism, which children keenly resent. Or it may make the child oversensitive to the teacher of long's opinion.
As the weeks went by die gradual lessening of tension in home-school relationships was easily felt about the school. The awful nerve-wracking ordeal, particularly for a young, inexperienced and often very tired teacher of long, of the first open evening of the year, meeting thirty, maybe forty or fifty parents - mostly for the first time - and trying to guess at and satisfy all their anxieties and often unknown attitudes about the teacher of long's work widi their child, all in the space of two or three hours after a long day's work, has always seemed to me some sort of refined masochism. Yet we go on doing it.
