"...I have to watch my language and all the other little things - TopicsExpress



          

"...I have to watch my language and all the other little things that I am lax in, around my pupils. Actually, could you imagine me teaching school? One day I told the students they could go. Where to, one boy wanted to know; and before I could think I told him he could go to the devil as far as I was concerned. That could have cost me my position, but I had no complaints. And I was fiddling with an acorn and a bright little nut told me that only hogs ate acorns, I threw him the acorn and told him to finish it. His mother was furious." - from the collected letters of Byron Herbert Reece, poet from Choestoe in northeast GA
