Horse The Press Wednesday February 1970 B7 Rockwood bowling RUINS OF THE Rover cabin at Spirit Valley farm destroyed the cabin on the Old Indian Trail near Eden Mills were still morning Staff Photo smoking over the weekend Fire completely News and views Running shoes a watch set ten minutes ahead of time and a sense of humor should be listed as compulsory equipment required for parents planning to attend the Parents Night offered by the local high schools at which time parents arc invited to meet up with the pedagogues responsible for their childrens learning achievements Now there is usually some crafty undercurrent on one of these evenings Its a patter play where the children have already lined up an image of the teachers lo be seen the teacher has for months her own preconceived idea of all the actual design for such programs little Johnnies parents whom is constructive but usually most interview and both parents and teachers want to cither dissuade or further enhance any such preconceptions depending on whether they are complimentary or not The situation is usually slightly more harassing for the poor teachers of course because its difficult to conjure the memory of one particular child and his problems and discuss them factually with some three or four hundred parents as they have eventually become swallowed up in the It Is especially grim for the teacher if the parent tends to sit on the edge of the seat and move closer by degrees chortling confidently when she is about to learn that her offspring is a dolt who will not make it to the next grade if he doesnt work harder Tell me all about him says the idolizing parent but a seasoned teacher knows what shes saying is Unless its sparkling thing good dont say rainbow it interviews end up minute rehash of already established problems with enough tunc to discuss how best to handle them properly Teachers do discover parents of course find out sometimes that all of Johnnie problems are not always his own parents find it fascinating see children in another light and to also learn he is more outgoing when away from home There are great rewards from many teachers and some less flattering others deflations and inflations arc the order of the few interview hours and parents rediscover that the new crop of teachers is much younger than when they went to school but back to the old thing What constructively can be done to get your son or to apply himself if he is not so Is education Hit great big the cud ol the up to be Me Im just a parent intent in the hope that our kids will be good citizens for the future coming into their own without any hangups Meantime it was with mixed emotion that in lugh schools recently time after time we were greeted joyously by chemistry physics and mathematics rubbing their hands with pleasure at our arrival remembering our names from last year Flattered Sort of until always at the end of the interviews with doors thrown open to some patiently waiting other to hear the booming proclamation that Seeing you people is always delightful After all only the parents arrived whose children did not present any problems welt then this parent interviewing would be wasted wouldnt it Ah well we will become re some 12 mouths hence and it is always hopeful that the scene will be changing ESQUESING BRIEFS At their regular meeting Monday night Council Received a letter from the Georgetown Naturalists Club complimenting them on the curtailment of the use of herbtudes in the township anything at all Deadlock And or have we mentally just nude it one in which case parent ide teacher sit across from each other twiddling their thumbs in an effort to put in lie remaining three minutes tit the interview The running shoe idea is a great one because the highly polished floors our modern schools do not allow lor speeding maters and paters flying around corners from class to class on leather heels without calamitous results Actually no one wants to run around at these events but it is the only hope of completing an schedule ol interviews Always it scents that there is a little miniskirted blond secretary sitting out arranging and introducing each parent lo teacher sometimes forgetting follow the tune allotment program and thus crosses up some five dozen parents lor the remainder the evening and usually the one teacher you should not miss is the one next on the list Incidentally any parent knows to keep a weather eve tor teachers names who have not been suggested as interview material by the home front as ihc are usually the ones with the true facts You know the Waterloo types from whom you will discover why your brilliant prodigy is not the Class prcpresentativc Well whatever will be said about these patent teacher interview night they have been set up to establish some sort of communication between the schools and the homes to help the child and they should theoretically be an excellent way of correlating educational problems However with little eager beavers knocking the doors down the first half minute of the nittygritty pari of the discussion whilst large patent heads look over the transom to see who is taking up their scheduled place there never seems to be enough time to accomplish anytlung to make one actually feel that such evenings are worth while This is too bad because the Isnt it enough to have kids who just being alive during the one short period ol their lives when they have no major responsibilities or do we have to continually be trying to produce the student
