SOCIOMETRICAbstract
One of the most important of a teacher's skills and one which ought to be considered in selection is the ability to work with a variety of people parents, teachers, and administrators, as well as with children. The inept teacher who repeatedly antagonizes a child in the classroom is likely to succeed only in teaching that child to hate the teacher, the subject, and too often school work in general. The teacher who cannot get on well with adults, even though he is effective in the classroom, will retard the work of faculty committees, complicate the problems of the administrator, and defeat himself in attempting to work with others in the community. Such a teacher may provide support for those critics of public schools who cite the occasional horrible example to prove their claim that "teachers are already getting paid more than they are worth."
