Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Manual for Home Teachers: State Commission of Immigration and Housing of California After watching the working out of the Home Teacher law for four years, those who have its interests most closely at heart have found that there is one grave error into which the Home Teacher is very likely to fall. The law definitely makes the Home Teacher a part of the school system and, moreover, specifies that she be connected with certain schools. Under that law she is as thoroughly responsible to her principal as are the teachers whose work lies in the schoolroom. It is very easy, however, to take another attitude. Although the school is coming into its own as the social center of its district, social and educational fields are still generally held to be distinct. And because the Home Teacher is definitely a socializing element, she often slips away from the school, and either affiliates herself with other social agencies or tries to do her task alone. Both of these methods have invariably proven fatal to the success of the work. Only when a Home Teacher is the definite link between the school and the home can she hope to succeed, and it is as an envoy of the school that she can best enter the home with no risk of being the intruder. Working apart from the school leads to working at cross purposes with it and leads, besides, to conflict and overlapping with other agencies. To be sure, those agencies must know her. Every organization which is bent on helping those who are in need of help must feel her co-operation. But that co-operation must come in the name of the institution which she represents. The future of the nation is largely in the hands of the teachers. To the Home Teacher belongs, in ever increasing measure, the future of many of the homes. And as the welfare of the children can not be considered apart from the welfare of the homes, so the Home Teacher can not break away from the school and hope to fill the place for which she has been chosen. So we come to the definition of that place. "The teaching of English to the adult foreign born," in the words of Mrs. Edith Perry Bremer, "is 20 per cent a problem of the educational, and 80 per cent the problem of the social worker." So, likewise, is the teaching of right living to both foreign born and native born mainly a social problem. And thus the Home Teacher becomes the social worker of the school and as long as she holds that definition clearly in mind, there are no limits to the field of her endeavor.
