A CHOSEN LIFESTYLE

 

On August 27, 2001 the Australian newspaper The Age published an article that stated that hundreds of Web sites exist that give tips to girls who put themselves on a starvation-level diet on how to avoid the detection of their lifestyle.

 

The article in The Age stated that physicians and psychologists are appalled by the glamorization of a condition that leads one in ten people diagnosed with it to die, half from suicide and half from other complications related to anorexia nervosa. Farther into the article it was then stated that, about five million people in the United States, most of them teenage girls, have anorexia, a psychological condition closely associated with low self-esteem, intense perfectionism, and a pressing need for control. At least 1000 people diagnosed with anorexia die each year.

 

That anorexia nervosa is a chosen lifestyle is undeniable. Consider what the article in The Age had to say about that. M, a 15-year-old girl from Ohio, says she visits pro-anorexia sites when she's feeling hungry or depressed. "I sign on and see how everyone is. It helps me to see that everyone is going through the same thing. They are the only people who really understand," she says. "I don't see anorexia like the doctors do. It's just the way I live. I don't see now how I could go back to living any other way," adds M, who said she first became anorexic in 6th grade and who admitted she is hiding the condition from her parents.

How to Make Great Teachers

 

By Claudia Wallis

 

    We never forget our best teachers – those who imbued us with a deeper understanding or an enduring passion, the ones we come back to visit years after graduating, the educators who opened doors and altered the course of our lives. I was lucky enough to encounter two such teachers my senior year in a public high school in Connecticut. Dr. Cappel told us from the outset that his goal was not to prepare us for the AP biology exam; it was to teach us how to think like scientists, which he proceeded to do with a quiet passion, mainly in the laboratory. Mrs. Hastings, my stern, Radcliffe-trained English teacher, was as devoted to her subject as the gentle Doc Cappel was to his: a tough taskmaster on the art of writing essays and an avid guide to the pleasures of James Joyce. Looking back, I’d have to credit this inspirational pair for carving the path that led me to a career writing about science.

    It would be wonderful if we knew more about teachers such as these and how to multiply their number. How do they come by their craft? What qualities and capacities do they possess? Can these abilities be measured? Can they be taught? Perhaps above all: How should excellent teaching be rewarded so that the best teachers – the most competent, caring and compelling – remain in a profession known for low pay, low status and soul-crushing bureaucracy?

    Such questions have become critical to the future of public education in the U.S. Even as politicians push to hold schools and their faculty members accountable as never before for student learning, the nation faces a shortage of teaching talent. About 3.2 million people teach in U.S. public schools, but, according to projections by economist William Hussar at the National Center for Education Statistics, the nation will need to recruit an additional 2.8 million over the next eight years owing to baby-boomer retirement, growing student enrollment and staff turnover – which is especially rapid among new teachers. Finding and keeping high-quality teachers are key to America’s competitiveness as a nation.
