Dr. Weston is convinced that the pedagogue is the culprit. Since teachers seat their pupils in alphabetical order, the “S” to “Z” child is usually the last to receive his test marks, the last to eat lunch, the last to be dismissed, and so on. As they are the last to recite, these youngsters feel frustrated because what they had to say had usually been enunciated earlier. The inordinate amount of waiting for this group has to do causes them to become irascible and jittery. The “S” to “Z” people also become quite introspective, convinced that they are inferior to those at the top of the alphabet.
Dr. Weston believes that the culprit responsible for a particular problem is the teacher, also known as the pedagogue. The reason for this is that teachers tend to arrange their students in alphabetical order, which means that the children whose names fall under the letter “S” to “Z” are usually the last ones to receive their test marks, eat lunch, be dismissed, and participate in recitation. This constant waiting time can cause these students to feel frustrated, irritable, and nervous. They also tend to become introspective, thinking they are inferior to their peers whose names fall at the beginning of the alphabet.
