These articles deal with the career ladder, eight (8) hour program, funding based on expected population growth. The topics here are listed below: 1. Rebellion in school and home. Teaching for retention and application. 3. Student supervised study pe2. riods. d, Home room advisors. These items of basic subject matter are described by Adm. H. Richover in his address to Congress. The discussion that follows will touch on each. Item one (1) is this authors observation of a 4. j j i This act is one of the contributing factors to mediocrity in the education system. 2. Teaching for Retention and Application. The subjects reading, writing and arithmetic are considered basic by most educators. The problem in this area are threefold: the volume of material, the presentation of the material, and the ability of the student to retain, and apply in progressing through the educational system. English teachers allow students to read paperback love stories and fiction books. This reading should supplement reading some required classics such as The Ancient Marinner, Julius Ceasar, etc. Students have very little knowledge of mathematics. Few students retain the hierarchy of math well enough to apply it to fractions, percentages, and equations. This area shows the largest area of student regression on standard academic tests. 3. Students Supervised Study Period. Random surveys I have taken over the years indicate that students desire a study period. Supervised study periods have been used for many years to enhance student ability to improve their understanding of subject materials. A study period allows for additional instruction and opportunity to supplement where parental assistance is not avail- nine (9) year period. 1. Rebellion in School and Home. The middle schools (junior high schooIs)bring together the maximum number of students entering the rebelling age. The students are now attempting to make decision without experience and to have their way (do my thing). The liberties at school and home are often times in con- flict. The freedoms such as dances and dropping subjects are in school programs approved by administrators and counselors. The school administrators may authorize a dance which is not acceptable by the parent. The parent accepts the school decision and the student attends the affair. The students decision to drop a subject is normally approved by both the counselors and administrators, and occasionally by the teachers without prior communication and approval of the parent. The subject may be dropped for several reasons: (a) dislike of the teacher, (b) taking the easy way out, andor (c) peer pressure. These shouldnt be reasons. These traits are perpetuated and repeated several times in junior high and senior high years. com-rnm- - able. 4. Home Room Advisor (Stu- dent Advisor). Student advisors were used and are still used in the Educational System. They are teachers who serve in three basic lareas of student control. The areas are (1) administration and control. (2) academic guidance, and (3) liaison to the students parents. The administration office is over crowded with excess problems of control of the students and administration. Counselor relations with the students are very limited and offer little or no relations with the parent. Counselors guidance lack parental participation which student advisors normally have. More illiterate have graduated under the counselor system compared to the advisor system according to prior records. The suggested solutions are listed below: 1. Elimination of middle school, and keep students in elementary school for control older students to help with younger students, street crossing, etc. 2. Coordinating the building block with retention and application for progression to the next grade. Elimination of volume material presentation. 3. Implement a study period a set number and times each week avoiding the last period of the day. Replace the student counselor with a student home room ad4. visor. Nathaniel C. Johnson Layton Students in program represent the 'best' Review editor. I recently had the opportunity to work with more than 450 students from across Utah who recently participated in the Close govUp Foundations week-lon- g ernment studies program in Washington, D.C. These young people were outstanding representatives of their schools and Utah. The students and their teachers joined with participants from other areas of the country to sed their government in action. They questioned members of Congress, goverment officials, lobbyists, journalists and political experts. They experienced the democratic process through workshops and study visits on Capitol Hill. Participation was open to any student regardless of grdae point average, extracurricular activities or physical handicap. With the rich diversity among the students, they were able not only to voice opinions but to share perspectives with their peers from across the country. ysstvf.v.
