Pushing the "Pull" Door
G. Dayhoff Addley
Pushing the 'Pull' Door or Stop the Carnival is based on the true-life story of its author and her husband retiring to an island in the Caribbean and starting new careers in the education system . . . one in a public high school and one in a private prep school. It tells of principals and assistants, other teachers, and students . . . the effect of hurricanes and the establishment of a 'job bank.' It shows just what the students learned in class, what teachers put up with, and how the school passed 'accreditation.' It covers the hardships, illnesses, and the mountains people had to climb . . . and their shortcomings and joys. At the end, the 'addendum' covers suggestions that could end some of the ills and stop the 'carnival' of un-understandable events. It is hoped that this satire will awaken many of the offenders so that the pleasure of teaching will eventually overcome the frustrations. It is a challenge to new teachers to make a difference.
