It would be impossible to list each name that was instrumental in its development but each of you know who you are. Your efforts and hard work are not unnoticed and are very much appreciated. Brent York Budget Fuel Stop Dear Editor, Floral The Emporium, North Main, Spanish Fork, will be closing March 31st. A special feature of the business has been the unique combination of flowers, interior decor and authentic restored antique furniture. Owners Guy and Joy reported that many of the traveling wholesalers commented that the business was very unique among the accounts they serviced. The Wymores have been very pleased with the vast majority of their customers. During nearly 5 years of business we had only one bad check and I was able to collect on it. That says a lot for Spanish Fork and surrounding areas and the character of people shopping our business. The Floral Emporium has been an asset to the community and area in presenting many gratis flower and design seminars to local LDS wards and clubs as well as creative design presentations in the annual Fiesta Day Flower Show. Another notable civic contribution has been their annual entry way exhibit introducing the public to the County Fair Art Show held in the Nebo Alternative School. 122 Wy-mor- 200-30- 0 e April 28 - Concerto Night.

Dont get me wrong-- 1 do not endorse many government programs, but 1 will make whatever sacrifice is necessary to enhance the education of our children. I especially admire my parents on this issue. They are willing to educate children they have never met and never will meet. Many older folks on fixed incomes object to education for the next generation. This shocks me. How do they think they got their education? If they are not educated 1 really raise my eyebrows. The should appreciate education more than anyone. The do not like the idea of having a smaller boat or a shorter trailer for their outings. Most of them do not like the idea of having less of anything. My position is that if we do not keep our younger generation, well the real producers, educated all of us will suffer. We will all have less of everything. There are several things about the education system that bother me. I would like to be sure the tax dollars we give are used wisely. I wonder if this is the case. For example, of school district only 57 employees are teachers. This seems too high. Further, only 50 of the school district budget is for instruction. Can we educate our children y adequately with such a organization? I especially wonder about the span of of control administrators. Most management statistics indicate that under normal circumstances one can supervise no more than 8 people effectively. Some of the school principals I have seen have more people answering to them than Lee Iacocca. What is worse, we expect these administrators to have a good knowledge of what their teachers are doing. I suspect if a teacher does not make waves most principals are sure the teacher is doing a good job and that the students are learning .very well. I do know that every time I have asked a principal about how well a teacher is teaching the answer is always the same. This is probably a Great! nice way of saying, It is none of your business, even though the teacher is dealing with the most precious things in my life my children. I would like to see some system of accountability for teachers that is more specific than the SAT. It amazes me that we hold auto mechanics accountable for their work on our cars, but we do not hold teachers accountable for their work on our children. Are cars more important than children? I would like to see some national standards on the various courses in our schools and have the students tested after each school' year to see how well a teacher has done in teaching the subject. If a teacher is consistently below normal we should adjust the teachers pay, or better yet, introduce the teacher to a different line of work. I have discussed this with some teachers. I have never found one that felt good about such a suggestion. If 1 was a teacher and did not have to meet I standards accountability would not like such a system either. The concern of the teachers is that sometimes you just get a bad class. I agree. The teacher who is most accountable for his work right now is the coach. The wounds of the coach are exposed to the world to see. The coach illustrates my point. A good coach is a good coach. He demonstrates it every year. Did you ever notice how some schools consistently have a good high school football team? Every year. These coaches do not complain about the bad class. They make winners. Further, a good coach makes winning young people both on' and off the field. They make citizens. They will not go to State every year, but they will be a formidable opponent. The one thing that concerns me about accountability is the cost. I certainly do not want to see the percentage of money used for instruction further reduced and make the system more than it is right now. Another thing 1 do not want to see is my children I are from telling people, you I really under-educate- d com-plaine- rs top-heav- top-heav- ,0i- - y , , |
