V :: :: columnist Back when I started kindergarten, mothers were proud if their children could recite the alphabet and count to 10 by the time they started school. Things are different now. Thanks to educational TV and the daily doses of Sesame Street, modern youngsters often learn to rattle off their ABCs and count in two languages before theyre even out of diapers. And with the electronic technology available today, the average preschooler has usually spent more time with computers, video calculators, games, and hand-hel- d than his favorite Teddy bear. Its no wonder that such kids sometimes begin their formal schooling with more sophisticated words in their mouths than teeth. Ill never forget the day I took daughter to meet my K 'f uate learning readiness. Once her thirst was quenched, the little girl seemed cooperative enough.

PTA officers are requesting parents to join PTA. Because of the large class sizes and budget cuts, volunteers are needed to help with the PTA programs as classroom tutors, with hearing and eye testing, and many other programs. The PTA sponsored night where parents can meet the teachers and PTA board will be Thursday, Sept. 11, at 7 p.m. at Clinton Elementary.
