I remember wondering if anyone really cared. I found out last night that somebody does. I found out when I attended the Utah State PTA Convention dinner to salute their teacher Golden Apple winners. well-organiz- - Spirit week Six educators were chosen from the many, many nominated. And the importance of these recognitions is that they were made by parents. Parents who werent looking at children as economic resources or products to be compared or objectives to be met. Parents who were looking for skills, yes, but no less important, they were moved by factors of caring, compassion, and mutual respect. Parents who took the time to notice what is not always easy to see and to share that perception with the teacher. Its human nature to call to attention a concern. We should take as much time to call attention to call attention to a compliment. Not every teacher can be chosen for statewide recognition, but when you see something in your childs teacher that deserves your recognition, be generous in giving it. As parents, we should all go out of our way to say, I noticed. I cared. at Salina Elementary full of fun d Last week was a week of spirit and learning at Salina Elementary.

Dr. H. Stephen Glenn says it is a waste to suspend the entire educational process for three full months each year. They forget a lot of what they have learned, and get out of the habit of studying. He added that Our current model of education is like the appendix of a rural society; it serves no useful purpose but it can rupture and kill you. Teachers in America spend as much time shutting school down for the summer and trying to resurrect it in the fall, as they do getting on with it across the board. The hardest wear and tear on your engine comes from stop and start driving rather than hitting a pace and sticking with it. Glenn says that within five years d schooling should be in effect all across the country. When todays kids arent in school where are they? They are hanging out in malls, joining gangs and cults, thinking up mischief, selling drugs, etc. Thats overwhelming. Very few families have three months of vacation. For single parents, trying to supervise a household of bored youngsters is a constant headache. schoold Along with three see ing youll things happen, Glenn noted. 1. Youll see the professional image of teachers go up dramatically. 2. Kids will make better sustained gains along the way, and families will have more quality time. This will end some of the latch-ke- y childrens problems. 3. Were having great difficulties supervising and empowering our children and helping them to get the perspective that a good time is not nearly as important as acquiring the resources to live well in the future.
