The public school system has been taking a great deal of heat over the past few The school is also expected to teach children all about nutrition, years concerning that issue and cleanliness, the system. And while some of it may be deserved, much of the blame must lie with society the American home. During those years that test scores declined, demands on the classroom teacher increased.

Few will argue that teachers and other educators are paid a pretty fair hourly salary - if they can get all of their work done inside the normal working day most say they cannot.

But by the time those youngsters enter the school system, their personalities are pretty well set and when there are problems, they wont go away by casting blame on others or by ignoring them. Our society, perhaps aware of its ills, provides many services, a number of them at little or no cost, (beyond the tax dollars we already pay) that will assist families in overcoming problems. We must not be too proud to seek assistance and we must not make those who do feel outcast. They may be the smartest of us all. We can improve the school system, but we are going to meet with greater success if we attack the problems at their root. If we demand more from ourselves, perhaps well get more from our schools.

In Utah we have a particularly difficult time funding education. Large sums of money are spent and not everyone agrees with how. But is that any excuse to attack the classroom teacher who has no control over that? Our schools also serve a much larger student population than our sister states. That means the taxpayer is shouldering a significant burden.

The great increase in the very real need for mothers to work outside the home is likely the key to many of the changes that have taken place in the family. Some manage just fine; others do not. And anyone who works can sympathize with the situation.

Some of the blame for poor performance in the classroom must lie with the administrators and some with the colleges that most educators agree leave a person for the somewhat that system.
