Children with "tie" shoes vs. those whose dues do not have ties sms used to divide the dass into groups. "Nobody enjoyed being the object of discrimination.

Stone concluded. Concerns expressed by parents and teachers focused on the uncertainties of the proposal. Lngiati accountability, and a means of measuring proficiency gained bythe students, were all printed out as needing clarification before the program could be undertaken. Several parents questioned how the program could be carried out without neglecting baric mastery, and without shorting some students while others receive bonus attention and time. Who would ultimately be responsible for the chilcfa progress-w- ho would makeeure the child knew what heshe needed to know by the end ofthe school year-w- as a distinct concern. Balancing the enrichment areas and assuring that children got what they wanted, but not too mudi of one area, waa also considered a ' problem. Other comments indicated a need to answer the needs ofthe teachers as well as the students, and accommodate those who prefer to teach all subjects and not a specialty. Stone agreed that more research is needed, and that a mors complete model must be developed before the "School within a School can be implemented. He said teachers will all have the opportunity to visit facilities in other areas where similar programs are in place, and assured parents that a plan satisfactory to everyone would be necessary for its . - success.

Principal Bud Stone expreeeed hie philosophies of education before presenting the "School within a achool" model to about 60 parents and RMS teachers. The concept creates specialised settings, or schools, within the present facility, where children experience learning in a manner. In the RMS proposal, three areas of focus would be offered to students on a rotating basis: arts, culture, and mathedence. The arte area- could include training in visual art, music, .singing, drama and dance, in addition to pottery making, photography, creative writing, and more. The mathfadence area would life experiences provide hands-othrough lab work, accelerated classes, and so on. In the culture area, children would experience, not just read about history, geography, foreign languages and cultures; gain local cultural understanding, and share discussions of world and national topics in a variety of settings, said Stone. Endless possibilities exist because of the quality of teachers at the school, he added. f Teachers would be the key to the concept, Stone pointed out, since SHRUBS: .... 15'...
