They sense accusing and pointing finshould be knowledgeable on the gers. Give other people and school system and be willing to their ideas the respect they de-serv- e. work with it. Some things to consider when talking to the ' school board are: 1.- ) Check the fact. It may have sounded great when your friend from another state told you about the' way they do things in their school district, but is it really that great? How do their students compare nationally? Are the students more prepared for college or technical school? What are their ACT or SAT scores? Dont claim certain programs are ideal for students unless you have the figures to back up the statement. 2.- ) Be willing to compromise. Remember that the school system is public and must be used for the publics good. If you stand to hard on one point, you better. On July 19, at 7 p.m. in the school board administration building, parents and other nterested individuals can give their input on the direction of the school districts policy.' They can let their desires and concerns help mold the change. It is, as board member Bruce Parry said, an exciting time, a time when the school district can formulate a progressive may find yourself standing educational philosophy. But before parents bring their alone. Be willing to look at the ideas to the board, they should other side. Work some ideas together and create a hybrid. 3.- ) Be brief.

Regardless to what you hear, money does make the education system run. True, money will not make your child smarter but it will buy quality teachers and teaching aids which will. Its one thing to demand that every student get quality time on a computer, its another to pay for it. Know what your idea will cost. 6.- ) Be willing to give of yourself. You want the education system to change, but what about yourself? Many student problems can be traced to attitude and environment problems at home. Are you willing to pick up the slack in any new program started? Write the board prior to the meeting. Give them the chance to digest your ideas. They wont be unfamiliar with you when you stand at the meeting and they will know what questions to ask. It is indeed an exciting time for education. Its a time when the parents and school board can work together in casting a better education for all the 7.- ) Cemetery Care Great hand-trimme- d, plowed. We were especially amazed at the care because these same workers were heavily involved in removing huge trees that had been blown over, and were working day and night to keep water from the local creek out of our homes. I really dont know what else the city could have done to get the cemetery better prepared. We are not personally acquainted with these workers but do feel the aforementioned letter was inappropriate and unfair to some dedicated people.
