Two of my social studies teachers, Mr. If visitors were to sit in on each of their classes, they would most likely go away thinking that these men had been made genetically identical with the same blue prints. Beneath the surface, however, Mr. Y and Mr. X had very different views on what we call social studies.
First, they were about the same age, in their forties I would guess. They had very entertaining lectures, making them reasonably popular even among students who hated history. They both had a knack for mixing humor and information. Mr. Y's lectures on, lets say, the American Revolution were well organized and very informative, but there were made memorable by his occasional "humor" about the diseases from which the founding fathers suffered. Similarly Mr. X livened up a tedious, long, and boring lecture on the Allied partners, but he slipped in some hilarious useless facts. .
Second, because these guys were such good lecturers and enjoyed talking so much they, didn't pile on the homework. It seemed like they wanted to listen to themselves talk, and not read what students had to say. They gave few tests, hardly any papers, and occasional quizzes. Both of them counted the sacred "notebook" as a sizeable portion of the grade, so if you showed up regularly and took outstanding notes, you were in good shape. Not surprisingly, this also helped them maintain their teacher "popularity".
Third, both of these guys were smart. Having had many teachers in school, it's clear to me that many of them know their stuff and many of them don't. I get the feeling that if some teachers strayed a micrometer away from the book they would be as lost as Dorothy when she strayed off the yellow brick road. But Mr. Y and Mr. X knew their social studies. They seldom went by the book, and I never noticed either of them ignore a question that they couldn't answer to a tee.
But in spite of all this, Mr. Y and Mr. X were more different than they were alike because they had different views of the world.
