Where once the teacher ruled the class with an iron hand, meting out punishment without interterâ€" ence, today she stands vulnerable to the; wrath of parents who feel their children have been unjustly punished. By making the parents more familiar with teaching and teachers, the home and school associaâ€" tions have created "experts" on education among the parents. ‘This has caused teachâ€" ers a good deal of unjust criticism. More often than not tales brought home from school are exaggerated, like the case in Scarborough where a teacher was acâ€" cused of taping a pupils mouth shut. After the smoke had cleared it was found the teacher had simply put the tape under the pupil‘s mouth not over it.

"You have no idea," he "just how relazed they are down there. They just don‘t give a darn." He explained that it took him twice as long to get modhtnmultdm-hu.“l‘hqtnt“n’tmh* they think we tourists have nothing to do but hang around.! I pointed out that if he just went along with the pace instead of getting all het up about it, his bhdwnm would benefit considerably. "Why should I be sa with their pace?" he demanded. "I‘m a businessman and I‘m acâ€" customed to getting things done. That‘s why I‘m successful." The Mexicans, I explained, haven‘t reached the ratâ€"racte stage of "progress" yet, and I for one envy them. They take time to enjoy life and even if they are poor they seldom have ulcers, cerebral hemorrhages or pychoses. They are essenâ€" tially a simple people, not yet influenced by the status symâ€" bol, which is a batie of our society. Needless to say my caller didn‘t agree with me. "If :z had the chance they would be the same as we are," he "you can tell bfltlu way they try to take tourists for a ride." Their‘ dislike for the general tourist makes this easy on their conscience I said, and it was probably tourists like him (the caller) that created the situation in the first place. "I can see I‘m not going to get anywhere with you," he stormed, "but you‘d better change your attitude or you‘ll be collecting. welfare." "This is a moving world and competition is the key to success," he rambled, "do wnuhinf better and faster than the next guy and you‘ve got it e "These Mexicans haven‘t got the competitive spirit to get anything done, that‘s why all the big business is owned by outsiders," he continued. gerc I interrupted.

In what way? "You‘ve no idea what that jailbird tag does to you, unless you‘ve had to wear it. As soon as they find out you‘ve served time, they shy away as if you have a disease." _ "It‘s not imagination. You know when a person‘s glad to see you â€" and when they‘re just being polite." A man can make â€"new friends, I suggested. "Not if he‘s an exâ€"jailbird! That‘s what I‘m telling you! People shy away when they find out, unless they‘re men you met in jail. And the women are worse than men. They won‘t even speak to my wife!" Who did he mean by "they"? "Women we knew before I went to jail. Why can‘t they forgive and forget?" Maybe he and his wife should start again somewhere else, was my answer. He nodded, then said: . "I guess so.
