Emerging from a very protective, strictly Catholic, middle class
family, Henry is equipped with a bachelor's degree, and an attache
case when he enters the world of work. Lessons including tax
avoidance, tax evasion, loneliness and blackmail are soon some of
the problems he faces. Those plus a few years of military service
convince him that his first love must be teaching. In the public
schools, new words enter his vocabulary and he faces new
challenges. In a small, conservative school, these battles center
around the Who, What, Where, When and How of journalism. The
problems are who may a new teacher date, what teaching methods are
allowed, where may a new teacher live and drink, when must a new
teacher be home and how long will the students and parents continue
to educate him. The problems and vocabulary change when Henry signs
a contract to teach in a large, metropolitan high school in Nevada.
Now there are lessons to be learned about theft, wedding chapels,
prostitution, Keno, legal guardianship, child neglect, child abuse,
parole, comps and under cover police acting as students. On the
other side of the coin are lessons in trust, love, scholarships,
financial aid, advanced placement, real estate and fellow teachers
to add humor and understanding to all the problems. The thirty year
run in education is a rewarding, challenging, enjoyable and
humorous life. With those lessons learned, he feels prepared for
retirement.
