Teacher W. S. H. sent
"Your Access to Energy is absolutely great, entertaining and informative. One of my students gave me a gift subscription, which suits me perfectly. He knew exactly where I am coming from. I am the one teacher at our school who is not a member of the NEA. We had a 'sick out' = strike at our school several years ago. I told my students, 'I have not been absent yet this year. I'm going to be here tomorrow and I expect you to be here too.' As I was the only one teaching that day, I felt like the last living cell in a dead body.< /FONT >
"I teach about 40 students in each of my five physics classes. I demand that the administrators admit as many students as are qualified. Everyone should understand physics. Now the union is on my back for exceeding the quota: 28 students per class. It reminds me of the masons who stop working at 2 pm after they have laid their 400 bricks.
"The heat is really on for me to join the union. For the second time in four years I have won the Teacher of the Year Award for our school. That does not make the NEA look too good. The students ask me why I do not park in the faculty parking lot. I reply, 'I'd hate to be mistaken for one of the teachers' .'' He is one of the Wild Cards (AtE 21-6) that makes America work.
