What Children Take To School
FEELINGS I
When Sammy went to school this year he
went with the feelings of anticipation, joy and
interest. Because his first year had been one
in which he felt good he could go back to
school feeling content with himself and with
school and the world.
But what about Jimmy? Last year Jim
my was faced each day with another failure.
When he went home his parents fussed that he
was not learning and his feeling of failing in
creased. Each day became more of a burden
and Jimmy began to push the other kids in the
lunch line, to be too rough on the playground and
on the school bus. Often Jimmy didn’t know
why he did these things but somehow he felt
some satisfaction when the teacher repremand
ed him. The days when Jimmy was sent to the
principal’s office and made to do his work there
were red letter days for him, And finally, when
his mother was called to school by his teacher
and the report back meant a whipping by Dad
dy, Jimmy really felt good. This year Jimmy is
repeating the same pattern.
Terry is, an excellent student who has
been a joy to his parents and his teachers. But
for the past three weeks Terry's work has been
poorly done, he sits staring out of the window
and is cross with the other boys and girls.
Terry is worried. Mom and Dad had always
been fun until lately. But every night now
he hears them talking in low, angry tones
and finally a door slams or he hears his Mom
crying. The breakfast table s a gloomy place,
with Mom listlessly putting the food on the
table and Dad scowling behind the morning
paper. Neither one of them has much to say
to him. And evenings are worse because Dad
doesn’t come in for supper and Mom is artific
ially happy. Terry doesn’t know what is hap
pening, but he is worried.
Susan is another good student. Her be
havior in the classroom has been very bad. She
tells stories about people. Shows little respect
for the other children and her teachers and at
times is just plain snippy. Her stories are full
of horror, blood, and killing. Susan is a very
angry ehild.
»■
Gary and Randy, who are almost sixteen
and,in the mnih^frade, crfn think ofTrnljTciBe'
thing; their coming birthdays so they can
quit school. Gary has had trouble in school
for many years. His pattern of behavior haS
been something like Jimmy’s. Now he can
think only about how wonderful it will be to
not have to go to school. Randy has been an
average student but school has been some
thing he had to do. He resents having to “take
his responsibility” as his parents say._ He re
sents this because his parents have not taken
their responsibility.- His father never has
any time for him, is always down at the Club
having a drink. His mother sees him only as
she fUes in and out from one meeting to a
bridge game or the golf course. So Randy
feels he will be better off “down at the beach”,
where he can get a job and live in his own
way.
Melissa is sixteen, going steady and plan
ning to get married. She has to get away from
home! Mother is a snoop and doesn’t trust
her. She is always telling Melissa what it was
like when she was a girl. Melissa has to iron
her clothes and help clean up on Saturday. Some
evenings she has to get supper. But mostly she
has to get out of that house because of all the
little brats of brothers and sisters. Why should
she have to take care of them?
What do the children take to school?
Feelings, good and bad. Anger, worry, shame
of failure, joy, resentment, longings for free
dom, concern and anxiety sue sdl carried to
school and affect the progress of the students.
What feelings did your child start out with
today? ! i 1

Just one year ago today
God called you away.
He needed another little angel
up iq Heaven,
So He took you, and you were
only seven.
He just loaned you to us, for a
little while,
With your big brown eyes and
your cute little smile.
They say time heals all things,
But we miss you today, same as
we missed you then.
