"The teachers in this district are perfectly capable, but some of them prefer to teach average students," Efcy said. "I sincerely believe in the influence a. teacher can have on a child, for good or bad." She suggests using the year-end school tests as placement research to match students to a proper curriculum, cur-riculum, and teachers trained for that curriculum. She scoffs at the argument., that this would have'an adverse ad-verse psychological effect on all but the gifted students. ' "Who are we trying to kid?" she said, in a prepared statement. "The students know within a week after school starts those students who need more help than others." Among the other problems Mrs. Eley spotlighted: .

In 1979, she said, $60,000 had matured under a bond, and was reseryed to build the swimming swim-ming pool and auditorium for the high school. But the "open" bond did not bind the money for that use, and at the request from a group of parents, the money was used for a grade school. Mrs. Eley wants to insure that the money under a current. $5 million bond will go for the pool and auditorium. "Instead of .spending our money on new school board offices, we . should be building houses "that our teachers can afford to rent," she said..
