A RED - EYED TEACHER Ever been on shift work? Most nurses have. Many industrial workers have. Farmers, executives, merchants, office workers -- and until recently, teachers --- have not had that delightful experience._ First time I ran into it was on my first job, when I was 17 -- back in the middle ages, some times known as the Dirty Thirties. 1 have been a stalwart champion of the working man ever since. It was on a steamboat on the Great Lakes. For a dollar a day. Seven days a week, I worked the graveyard shift. Except that in 'those days it was a shift.and a half, from midnight to noon. And it seemed to be rolling a little every Just enough to make you queasy. Sick at heart. sick at stomach, we groggily made our way to the galley. about 11.30 p.m., for "break- fast'. The night cook was a jolly Oriental gentleman called Sing. He couldn't sing, And he couldn't cook, either. But hic heart was in the right place. He knew we needed sustenance for the 12 hours ahead. Chuckling merrily, he'd pile our plates with greasy eggs, greasy ham, greasy fried potatoes. Some- times, for a change, there'd be greasy sausage and bread fried in grease. ATE % ~ Even a 17-year-old stomach, the human organ that most closely resembles a cement-mixer, couldn't take it. We used to push the greasy gob around the plate, and settle for some greasy coffee. But the clincher, the thing that really madé& our stomachs heave, that made us rush from the gallery to our jobs of cleaning out the lavatories, was the dessert, Triumphantly, Sing would sing out, "You like nice Boston Cleam Pie? TI got". Now, as you prob- ably know, Boston Cream Pie is a rich, nauseous concoction of custard topped with cream. Almost 30 years later, I stifl gag when I see it on a menu. As you may have gathered, T didn't like shift work then. And it hasn't improved much during the intervening years, This year, at our school, we're oh a double shift. A. combination of post-war baby boom and bureau- cratic red taper hive produced a situation in which the (populations of two entire schools, some 2,000 students, are sharing a building intended for half that number, The school board had two alternatives- . They could have each student hold another student on his or her knee all day, or they could run two shifts. They favored the former, because it would save on teachers, lighting and books. But some parents ' Dd eh te fie 4nd were pretty annoyed at the idea of their 88-pound daughters holding a 200-pound football player in their laps all day. So the school board fearlessly compromised, and voted for the shift system. And that's why your faithful reporter lurches out of bed at 6.15, wildly groping for the alarm clock, has a coffee break, if there is one, at 9 am., and cats lurch about 10.30 in the morning. In theory. it's wonderful. Teachers have all afternoon to sleep, golf, curl or hunt, and the even- ing to prepare lessons, Good for the students, too. They have their homework all done by dinner time, and can watch TV or wash their hair, or go to the poolroom. All we have to do is get to bed a couple of hours earlier than in the good old days! In practice,. it's horrible. Wives persecute hus- bands in the afternoon with shopping, scrubbing, repairing, nagging, If you sleep in the afternoon, you lie stark, staring, insomniacal, at night. If you work or play, you fall asleep in the middle of dinner, baked potato half chewed. ~ Nobody goes to bed any earlier than they ever did. And what we wind up with is a pedantry of red-eyed teachers, frayed at the edges, facing a gaggle of yawning teenagers, some of whom were » oy a.m. to catch the school bus, every morning --Toronto Telegram News Service
