Business Profile This Week s Mail Redwood Restaurant: Success Story To the Editor The recent articles in the Deseret Gazette concerning the current impasse, between theJordan .School District and the Jordan Education Association show a welcomne interest in education. There are. however, several thoughts which have not been expressed to date. It seems that in this current power struggle between the district and the education association each party is looking after their own interest but one wonders who, if anyone, is looking Who is after the Interests of the public and their children. there to see that the quality of education has not and is not being sacrificed? This current impasse provides an opportunity for the elected school board, the public's voice in school affairs, to look again to the matter of accountability in education. With school costs at record levels the taxpaying public has a right to expert quality education. Lets look at some of the indices of quality. Colleges and universitiea report a steady decline in standardized entrance examination scores. More and more remedial classes are required to prepare students for college work. Employers are becoming alarmed at the number of students coming through the public schools who are functionally illiterate. Many though-fu- l parents too realize that their children are simply not learning what they themselves- learned years ago. Many parents would be alarmed if they could invisibly follow their children through school for a few days. THEY WOULD PROBABLY SEE WIDESPREAD BOREDOM OF STUDENTS AND A STARTLING LACK OF DISCIPLINE AND RESPECT FOR TEACHERS. It is not my position that teachers alone deserve the blame for the condition of schools; they are only one factor of several. The lawmaking bodies and courts have placed serious handicaps on the educational process. Disruptive and incorrigible students are required by state law to be in school to the high school level. School administrators themselves often find it easiest to take the course of least resistance. It is often easier to simply bill the taxpayers for broken windows and other property than to search out and collect from those doing such distraction.
