Back To School
After 30 Years
HOW does it feel to return to teaching after an absence
of 30 years?
Mrs. Mary Eva Redman, who has done Just that, found
that teaching had changed considerably since she quit

empty feeling, and I thought it would be much better all
around for me to do something. I’ve been very busy
since then.”
Considerable reading, studying and general “brushing
up” were necessary to close the 30-year gap in her experi
ence. Now a substitute teacher in District elementary
schools, she is enjoying herself tremendously.
“Children today have more outside activities than in
years past, and this makes their minds keener,” she says.
"Their scope is wider. For instance, they have a science
program in school that’s wonderful. And there are a
lot of other new activities, too—dancing, art, language,
music.”
Mrs. Redman, who lives at 5528 Broad Branch road,
says that substitute teaching is harder than regular
teaching, but, on the other hand, “it offers a little more
freedom.”
"I always tell the pupils: ‘I can’t take your teacher’,
place; no one can. Next to your parents, your teachers
are your best friends.’ ”
The first requisite of effective teaching, Mrs. Redman
believes, is discipline. “Until you have that in the class,”
she says, “you can’t do anything.”
“Delightful task! to rear the tender thought.
To teach the young idea . . ."
