Show Lakeside Review North, Wednesday, January 23, 1985 Chalk Line ? Clearfield Registration Dated CLEP? Should Smart Kic BONNIE SMITH Review Correspondent Dear Bonnie, It seems ridiculous to me that we do not advance the kids who already know the years material in a given class to a higher, level. Instead, to get the required credit, many kids must endure a year of boring, unnecessary busy Work. With all our modern technology, cant the schools come up with something slightly more effective? J.T. Dear J.T., There are some terrific alternatives available - but the wheels of progression this area halted during curriculum revisions. One of the greatest options would be to allow CLEP-in- g as colleges do. The initials stand for College Level Exam Proficiency, and the CLEP tests are available on college levels for a variety of subjects. Passing the test(s) with a high enough score allows the student to be given the credit without taking the class. With graduation requirements as stringent as they are now, this could open the door for students not needing certain classes to take more advanced classes (if available) or to take an extra music, speech, drama, etc. class. (As requirements stand, it is often difficult to take two performing arts classes simultaneously; students must choose one or the other.) A junior high and high school CLEP program would also provide terrific incentive for kids to apply themselves diligently in elementary grades. A third advantage - removing children who already know the material would create smaller classes for those really needing extra time and attention for a solid foundation. Local districts have been approached periodically - even by some principals - suggesting that this be allowed, but it has gone no further. Some think it would lead to grouping" (top students in one class, lower in another) and therefore do not support "CLEP-in- g. In talking with those over curriculum on a state level, I am encouraged that such a program might be possible in the near future. I certainly hope so!

Four young women were chosen to represent the school in the statewide competition with other high schools later this year. 1.

Sisters Sherry, 17, and Kerry Jones, 15, daughter of K.C. & Sandra Jones of Hooper, were the pinners in the most popular and harmony catagories.
