Parent Teax^her
QUESTION: We are two former elementary school teachers, each \vith one pre-school girl, 4. Because 6f our children's interest and; desire to learn, we have bcRun to teach them to read.
This has been a veryxewardingandrich experience for both our children and ourselves. However, some friends and teachers to whom we have spoken say that the advanced knowledge our children are acquiring will only lead to boredom and frustration in the classroom. On the other hand, we don't wanttodiscourageour children from reading since they are so eager to learn. We would like to stress that at no time have we coerced them in any way. Rather we have taught them only when they have displayed an eagerness for learning.
We realize that some classrooms today are equipped to handle several reading levels. However, many schools stiH use old-fashioned techniques.
Shall we continue this practice, or stop teaching them? Will, this be detrimental to their future?
ANSWER: There are still conflicting opinions, even among the experts, as to the advantages and disadvantages of teaching the child too much too soon.
The parent of a gifted child is naturally grateful and happy that her little one is superior. She may feel it is time wasted to make her wait until she goes to school to learn.
But often this is a rationalization. The parents want to leach the child to read and write so that the youngster will stand out. The gifted youngster is used as an ornament, to tell the world that they have

an unusual child who inherited this brilliance from her parents.
What must also be corisidered is that the young parent can take but her own frustrations in what she does with and , for the child. The niother 'who is a t(?acher may use her training to start her little one on reading aind writing or arithr metic during her nursery school years. She no longer finds the task of being a homemaker as boring as she did before.
At first the child feels very special and honored to be taught by her mother. She will concentrate and apply herself, even for a longer time than is usual for youngsters her age.
But after a while, she feels she has had enough and wants to go off and play, like other children. The parent feels let down and begins to pressure and even punish the child. So what started out as a stimulating and rewarding experience for both parent and child turns into acontinu-ous battle.

On the other hand, some children demonstrate spontaneously a great curiosity and a burgeoning wish to learn. Even if left to themselves they will begin to pick out simple tunes on a piano, or letters in a newspaper headline.
It is important for the child to be given freedom to leave the area of learning and go off to play whenever the slightest fatigue or drop in concentration power occurs. If she is allowed to act her own age, chronologically as well as emotionally, the impulse to learn will grow naturally and spontaneously as the pleasures derived from learning become greater and greater. Such teaching by the parent can only become a tremendous asset to the child.

NO ESCAPE Once the conspiracy is in motion the world suddenly becomes full of women, and there is no escaping it either by day or night, at play or at work.
Let it be known that there is a young doctor in town, and his waiting-room will at once be filled with young ladies protesting about pains in their pancreas. Busy accountants find themselves beset with young secretaries earning nine pounds a week who want them toman-age their* affairs. Solicitors are summoned to urgent councils, only to find a client with a relative urgently in need of marriage.
Only dentists are free of such impositions, for women, who will open their hearts out to the most casual acquaintance, tend to be shy about their dental history.
Single men who believe that their burgeoning clientele is the result of their professional renown, will find it decimated on the morrow of their marriage. The fact that they are single, little though they know it, is part of their stock in trade.
But even where th^ know it, they can do little about it.. Unless one is actually trained to stay single, as one is trained for a survival course, there is a limit to the aniount of harassment any one individual can stand.
One gives up, as the hunted stag gives up, only to Join at once in the conspiiracy against those of one's friends who are still free. After all, one reflects to oneself, why should he get away with if?
