The society urges smokers throughout the nation to go a full 24 hours without a cigarette. Mrs. Jeannine Bosch, a sixth grade teacher at Columbia School is a member of the drug and alcohol abuse board for the state. She also teaches five workshops each year for teachers. She explained that her students are studying a unit on the heart and lung and the effect of teacher Jeanine Bosch show posters encouraging smokers to quit the habit. the made posters advertising She Great American Smokeout. said that as part of the school curriculum she is required to teach smoking education classes.

"We are teaching the students to take care of their bodies and health and to withstand peer pressure, by knowing if their they dont have to smoke said. she friends do, ry high school really is. Despite the preponderence of literature to the contrary, Cook said the people-stude- nts who make up student bodies of high schools like his across the country-are much better today than in the past. Education is way ahead of what it was when we were young, he explained, saying that declining scores on standardized tests like the ACT and SAT college entrance exams present a somewhat distorted picture of what is really happening in education. A few years ago not that many students took the tests. Today, 65 to 70 percent of all Clearfield seniors take the ACT. With more average kids taking the test the scores are bound to come down. Some factors that do concern educators include the multiplication of elective classes that tend to squeeze out the basics in the school system, and the impact of television on the learning environment. An article in the Oct. 30, 1983, Deseret News concluded that the average high school student has spent 22,000 hours in front of the T.V. compared to 11,000 hours in the classroom by graduation. Lower expectations of parents have also had an impact on educational trends. Its surprising how many kids get out of high school with their parents blessing, without ever taking a math class more significant than their ninth grade algebra, the principal noted. ,As the role of the family changes, a significant number of youngsters with problems have different sur names than those of their parents. Public opinion is also changing. In 1974 Gallup Poll, 50 percent of the population gave the schools an A or B rating. In 1978, and again in 1982, that figure had declined to 34 percent. With more people coming down on the schools, discipline, financial support, drug problems, and curriculum were worrisome areas most often cited in ' the 1982 poll. Following the much publicized Nation at Risk report, on education 1,200 Utah citizens were asked by the PTA what the school systems could do to further meet the needs of the public. According to Cook, Utah followed national findings by listing as priorities the of a traditional academic emphasis and the cutting down on extracurricular activities.

Although Clearfield High School will be assigning all extra curricular activites to two optional before and after school periods as for next year, Cook feels that the move to basics will not do it all. The bottom line is that parents need to take a more active part in education. We as parents need to be involved in the workings of the school, and determine as a group what kids need to learn and how to best meet the needs of all students while challenging the most able.
