Show Thursday, December THE GREEN SHEET 3 10, 1987 Granite Objects To Chamber Study Continued from page l Christensen said the recommendation that professional service of certified teachers and administrators be maximized and more paraprofessionals be used. "To some degree using paraprofessionals can be useful," he said. "But an average administrator in a school is already overworked. Recommendation number five the current says average ratio should be to allowed then increase, pupil-teach- er instructors should be reallocated to where the class size is highest. Research shows that larger class sizes have no impact, unless it occurs in primary grades, gifted and talents programs and among handicapped students, Christensen said. But something research doesnt show is that the make-uof the classroom is much more challenging that it was a few years ago, he said. "Kids with more difficult lives are showing up in the classroom," Christensen said. "I think that is due to the fact that families are in rn ore p pf'TW: Teachers trouble. are having to deal with that element. So now its not the numbers, but the complexity of the childs life." "I take issue with that research because real life isnt numbers." Adopting a method to measure the achievement of students is the subcommittees sixth recommendation. Christensens reply is "Why?". "Most districts already have standardized achievement tests," he said. "If they dont have the same then they are similar because there are only two used across the nation." Publishing test results comparing district to district and grade like the report to grade, recommends, would only be a has the most consolidated school system in the United States, disservice to the community. Christensen said the aptitude of a school directly corresponds to where it is the community located. "It has nothing to do with What youre teaching. working with is an innumerable variable. In any school district you will find these extremes." The subcommittees recommendation that a performance-base- d salary program be adopted for teachers and administrators is fine "if the objectivity is built in," Christensen said. Consolidation of school districts is another recommendation. And one that Christensen supports if local control remains in the school. But he said Utah already the excluding Hawaii. "Weve got to maintain local control," he said. "Its an element which could weaken and destroy education." Extracurricular activities should be held outside school hours and should be financed by locally raised revenue was another recommendation. But Christensen called this a "fanatical statement." "For some students sports might be their only contact with reality." The recommendation that school buildings should be utilized to their maximum is another point which is already being done in the districts, Christensen said. was Another recommendation that teachers should have contracts for cost efficiency. But research is now showing it isnt as efficient as once thought, Christensen said. Some recommendations Christensen whole heartily agreed with include parents should be able to place their children in public or private schools at their discretion; tax credits should be given to parents who put their children in streamline schools; private functions and services of the State and of Office Education; year-roun- d modernize college curriculum to meet the real world teaaching situation in Utah.
