SHORT CUTS IN THE SCHOOL Short cuts in education-hast y steps by school officials, imprompto acts of expediency by teachers, snapshot judgment by parents of pupilsoften prove the longest way to the goal. Ill-considered short cuts can lead. to disturbing consequences, and-in many in.stances-to waste of community funds, to impairment of school morale, to a wrong attitude on the part of the pupils. Short cuts in the schools can beas detrimental as in any other activity of life. That they can be the bane of existence is evidenced in our daily lives by the jaywalker who perils his life to cross the street in. mid-block; the fellow who tramples. the lawn at street corners; the chap who dashes zig-zaggedly througt crowded traffic just to gain a second of time; the automobile driver whc takes the turn at fifty an hour with consequent strain on offside tires. There is the misguided youth wl washes the starboard side of his face and neglectf'l the highways and b}.. ways of ears and neck; the individual whp jumps to the closing chapter of a book to know how the plot comes out; who wants to leap headlong into the game but is loath to undergo thtt necessary period of training; who indulges in snap judgment rather -.aure t.be .df.sot'omtort nf uu.....a""f!!..-way· to a lol'lcal conclusion. · TW Jehool officials who poltcteiJ tempered by local where these are not for the best terests of the young people, are taking short cuts. The executive who sacrifices the school's interests for public favor is taking the short cut. The teacher who goes direct to the Board of Education on school problems, or the school official who deals directly with the teacher rather than through the regular channel of the superintendent's office, is taking the short cut. The parent who condones antagonistic sentiment to school or teacher on the part of the pupil is encouraging that pupil to take the short cut. The community unwilling to finance adequately the deserving school program is taking the short cut. The school district which affords a six-month school while its neighbors operate nine-month is taking the short cut. The parent who unloads on the school all responsibility for pupil attendance, progress and behavior is taking the short cut. The business of education is a seasoned profession, evolved by thinking men and women, based upon years of research and experience.
