Using Housewives
To Read High
School Themes
PITTSBURGH UPi — High school
English teachers who painstaking
ly mark every mistake on a theme
are doing their students more harm
than good, an expert said.
Paul Diederich, Director of Re
search in English for the Educa
tional Testing Service, said the
most common effect of such cor
recting is that “most students learn
to hate and fear writing.”
“So far as they can See,” he
added in an address prepared for
a national convention of high school
principals, “they have never done
anything on paper that anybody
mougni was any guoa.
The students’ greatest need, he
said, is help and encouragement to
do better.
Diederich is in charge of a pro
gram to encourage use of qualified
housewives as theme readers, work
ing under close supervision.
The practice is now firmly es
tablished in almost every state, he
said. Most of the housewives, who
majored in English in college, earn
about $30 a month for an average
of two hours work per school day
at home.
Diederich said he tells these
housewife - readers: “Your first
duty is to find at least one thing,
and preferably two or three things,
that the student has done well, or
better then before.
“Then, if you must, find one
thing, and preferably not more
than one thing, that he should try
to improve in his next paper.”
Diederich said the need to use
housewives as theme readers is a
simple case of arithmetic — while
the number of high school students
has been zooming, the percentage
of teachers graduating with a ma
jor in English has been steadily
declining.
Life is getting easier all the
time. The latest thing on the mar
ket is an electric hairbrush for
people who want to save their el
bow grease for other chores.
