‘TEACHERS’

by Susan B. Anthony (pioneer leader of the women’s suffrage movement in the U.S., 1820-1906)

"I taught little children six hours a day and got $1 a week and my

board." "Oh, my yes! I whipped lots of them." "As I got older I

abolished whipping. If I could not manage a child, I thought it my

ignorance or my lack of ability as a teacher."

[FB: here, we have a teacher assuming responsibility for disciplining and controlling all of the children in her class—assuming that responsibility and making good on it.]
