K-JA- 5 Home and School: Vital Links By Lilly Eskelsen, president Utah Education Association Parents, teachers, anyone who regularly deals with children can become quite concerned about' the easy cruelty they can some- times inflict upon one another. I have overheard the sweetest, most sensitive children mocking their classmates in a way that confuses and disturbs me. What can adults do to guide these '' f young minds? ' The first step is to instill a sense of appreciation for bur differences. It is a delicate thing to want to foster a healthy self-eeven a pride in what a child is. We praise A child for a special talent. We revere our family ancestors and show pride in pur roots. We share Stories which inspire patriotism. The balance must come before a child reads a different message into our carefully crafted lessons. If we' are praised for being athletic or graceful, will we learn to scorn the awkward or the overweight child? If our family tree is long and prestigious, do we slight the child who never knew his father? Does our love of our country mean contempt for the child with an accent or who does not know our language? , Our teachings must be complete. We must take great care to emphasize the value in our differences. That each of us must be accepted as an important person with a contribution to make. That differences give us a broader perspective. That you can be proud of who you are without devaluing those who are somehow different. Emphasize to children that while groups of people will often form because of what they have in common, even those belonging s- ( to the group will differ from each other. They will look different, They will grow and develop at different rates. They will hav(e different tastes in music and clothes and spend their free time differently. At the same time, those people who may seem so different from one other may have many in common. The bottom line of our lesson is that the uniqueness of individuals is to be treasured and respected. It is mathematically impossible to raise ones teem by lowering someone elses'. self-es-te6- - Chorus will hold Christmas concert next Monday The Juab High School chorus,1 under the direction of Mrs. Lorraine Wallace, will present thefr annual Christmas Concert Monday, December 19th, at 7:00 p.m. in the high school auditor rium.
