But I felt, especially in the beginning,
when that sort of thing was said to me -
- ’feel free to chat’ - to various kids or

do what you want - because I had no experi-

would you like to take a group and do this
and this and this and I said I could perhaps

of the types of things you’re leading towards
but I really felt very panicky because I
hadn’t actually been told enough - and I
often feel that way - but there I was being

told to do something more specific

wonder then how far I could take kids away

fromtheir own work to talk to them about
something - maybe that it is something nobody
can tell you about - you just have to learn
how to do it.

seeing how groups operate - how you can cont-
rol the subject - the group and not get in

not saying I'm going to

through continued contact that you can talk
about - I don’t think any teacher can teach
you how to talk to kids - they can only allow

you a length of time until you find out for
yourself.

want to do, sort of express it themselves
and I think that’s the same as far as we’re
