When it came time for him to go into fourth grade, the school decided it was best to put Jobs and Ferrentino into separate classes. The teacher for the advanced class was a spunky woman named Imogene Hill, known as "Teddy", and she became, Jobs said, "one of the saints of my life." After watching him for a couple of weeks, she figured that the best way to handle him was to bribe him. "After school one day, she gave me this workbook with math problems in it, and she said, 'I want you to take it home and do this.' And I thought, 'Are you nuts?' And then she pulled out one of these giant lollipops that seemed as big as the world. And she said, 'When you're done with it, if you get it mostly right, I will give you this and $5.' And I handed it back within two days." After a few months, he no longer required the bribes. "I just wanted to learn and to please her." She reciprocated by getting him a hobby kit for grinding a lens and making a camera. "I learned more from her than any other teacher, and if it hadn't been for her I'm sure I would have gone to jail." It reinforced, once again, the idea that he was special. "In my class, it was just me she cared about. She saw something in me." It was not merely intelligence that she saw. Years later she liked to show off a picture of that year's class on Hawaii Day. Jobs had shown up without the suggested Hawaiian shirt, but in the picture he is front and center wearing one. He had, literally, been able to talk the shirt off another kid's back.
等到他即將進入四年級的時候,校方認為最好將喬布斯和費倫蒂諾放到不同的班級里。教高級課程的是一名干勁十足的女教師伊莫金?希爾,人稱“泰迪”,用喬布斯的話說,她成為了“我生命中的圣人之一”。在觀察了喬布斯幾個星期后,她意識到對付他最好的方法就是收買他?!坝幸惶旆艑W后,她給了我一本練習簿,上面都是數(shù)學題,她說要我?guī)Щ丶野杨}目解出來。我心想:‘你是不是瘋了?’這時她拿出一只超大的棒棒糖,在我看來地球也不過這么大吧。她說,你把題目做完之后,如果大多數(shù)都做對了,我就把這個給你,再送你5美元。我用了不到兩天就做完交給她了。”幾個月后,他不想再要獎勵了?!拔抑幌雽W習和讓她高興?!? 她會幫他弄到一些小工具,讓他可以做些打磨鏡頭、制作相機之類的事情?!拔覐乃砩蠈W到的東西比從其他任何老師那兒學到的都要多,如果沒有她的話,我一定會坐牢的。”這再一次印證了喬布斯是個特殊的孩子?!霸谖覀儼?,她只關(guān)心我一個人,她在我身上看到了一些東西?!? 她看到的不僅是喬布斯的智慧。多年后,她很喜歡展示當年的班級在“夏威夷日”拍的一張照片。那天喬布斯出現(xiàn)的時候沒有按要求穿夏威夷衫,但在照片中,他穿著一件夏威夷衫坐在前排中央。原來,他成功說服另一個孩子把自己的衣服脫下來給了他。
