jsfrttiifttto jugsjjk experienced teachers uid boost education standard fijtor jkctoneree press mflfist parents as they watch their boys and girls grow up hve hopes of them entering un verslty and eventually becoming engineers doctors or scientists 1 jive up those dreams if your children are attending acton schools because only about one fc- student in a hundred will man agfe it the reason a deliberate doncy by acton s school boards of hiring too many inexperienced and sometimes poorly qualified teachers this is a serious charge but there is evidence to support it look at the record in the years 1947 and 1948whcn upper school as subjects were first taught in ac ton eight students went on to graduate from university two girls became nurses and another boy subsequently became a law yer this from a school enrol men of less than a hundred one a year since then the number enter fng university from acton has averaged one a year from an en rolmcnl now increased to almost three hundreds in this period only one acton student has en tered medicine at university and he took upper school training in guelph which is noted for the quality of us schools in proporl fpn to 1947 at least six students a year from acton should enter university i know there are ust asmany intelligent capable boys and girls in acton as anywhere else or as there were in 47 48 the only thing lacking has been expert guidance by highly quahf led teachers as well educationists now be lieve that preparation of children expected to enter university must begin in grades 7 and 8 the only people who can interest children in the possibilities and demands of university work are teachers who have experienced this themselves in oar publn schools there are no teichcrs with university degrees this all important motn ition towards university in the public schools is lacking 1 am not necessarily criticizing beginning teachers or the work of those who have taught tn ac ton s schools for many ycai s a new teacher needs about five years to develop his skills full many teachers who began in ac ton arc now highly riled in their profession but they arc no long cr teaching here our schools have become training grounds for teachers we pay them to learn their jobs and actons ehildicn suffer from the unavoidable mis takes of their inexperience at the same time experienced tc i chcrs in our schools ptobiblv must spend loo much of their lime correcting the errors and tcdoing the work of the ine penenced specialists needed whit could be done to remedv this situation acton s high school needs a nucleus of five or six top rated cxpeiieneed spec lahst teachers to handle key sub icets and upper school coutses supporting them a gioup ol ex penenced non specialists ind tv en one or two beginners undei good supervision would be ide quite to bring in incxpuienccd teacher into a school and assign wskefewbfsln him five high school grades in one subject or a complete upper school course is ridiculous it is unfair to the teacher and almost disastrous to the education of his students particularly ihe weaker ones our public schools ire vcl admimstcted but when the board hires new teachers it should see that half or more of them have at least fic years experience and top qualifications by lop qualifications i mean a fcood gride 13 jcittemic record plus teachers college there should also
