through the public and high learn how to spell and read school phases of their educahard words and to solve dlf- tion i still find myself follow- ficult mathematical problems ing the latest changes in these i we became older the novelty fields with the greatest interest wore off and we became inter- and at times agitation not to ested in more things outside of mention trepidation schoolwork thats when most 1 of us needed a prod of some i presume to tilt at the kind t0 help us deve the self windmills not as an expert discipline to grapple with learn by any means but as a ing pro which when con quered formed the basis of our lifes career learning can be fun but parent i admit right off the bat to knowing very little about teaching skills my experience being limited to a rather disas trous foray into the field of i much of it goes hand in hand sunday school teaching i have with memorisation im the first not read the complete hall- to admit that memorizing is dennis report but i do read boring hard wprk but so are everything in sight about the new educational trends in two daily papers and sundry mag azines and i have raised three children pretty typical of mts average who is vitally interest ed in what kind of an upcom lots of things we have to do in this qh life and that is some thing that youngsters might as well learn how to cope with and adjust to early in fact a big part of the reason for wanting our children to have the very ing generation we are molding i best education they can master with our decisions in this mostu so they will go into the work- vital area of their young livesladay world equipped to handle jobs which are least afflicted that we is an editorial one tne cursc 0 boredom rm afraid because 1 have the sensation that all these tremen dous changes are taking place without our having anything at all to say about it it appears to we cant do anything to- alter the fact that the period when this education must be absorbed is also the period when the minds and characters of children are immature and we need wise guidance in every direction the new education trend i fear with its minimal guidelines places far too much trouble is that i dont responsibility on the student agree with their way of too soon g resu will prob- thinking the core of the aby tntt conscientious par- vbe a case where a few experts have decided that our whole concept of how best to educate our children should be changed to their way of thinking most sweeping educational changes is contained in their idea that children will learn more and better by being allow ed to progress at their own speed without any from teachers or i aume parents i admit that a goodly part of my misgivings come from judging others by my self arid my family none of tu are any lazier than normal in fact as far fc school work goes we were considered good students and speaking for my- aelf i rather enjoyed studying but if i had been left to study without the goal of passing or failing a set course within a ents arc going to have to shoul der a heavier load in that de partment and there is bound to be e great deal of floundering to the ultimate detriment of pressures lhc child would as- not that the present system is perfect by any means theres room for im provement however without shaking the very foundations of the whole system and for what its worth i think the changes have been made wrong way about to me it seems more sensible to start with the new approach to teaching in the teachers colleges instead of in the schools a stimulating teacher presenting the course at time with marks to showj study in stimulating way my achievement im sure id have spent a lot more time playing tennis reading novels and generally amusing rather than educating myself and our children as far as i could ob serve followed the same pattern that is where my prem ise and that of the experts differs and perhaps that is fhere the real rub is the ex perts are not runofthemill people they perhaps dont sus- pect ms i do that most human oeings are a bit lazy and will take the path of least resistance if allowed i dont think it is our system which keeps children from read ingncyclopediae in their spare time because they have had their learning urges stifled and initiative undeveloped i think the rare child wilt do this any way no matter what the system but it i only the rare one and it will still be the rare one who will do it under the new sys tem too im very much afraid because most of us are tarred with the same brush mother nature is more the culprit than our educational system thinking back to when we started public school there was a wonderful thrill jn first learning hdw to read and add and subtract that was the most fun of anything wed ever done that feeling is what our educator are striving l jto capture for students all the way through school i imagine burthen what they seem to kav forgotten la that after opp report during the week of march 30 to april s

stressing the need for them to observe is a pea wi price jltht new discussiontype approach will do this im all for it but it seems to me by introd ucing this new technique in schools where the teachers havent been trained to apply it is asking for big trouble for tea cher and student alike inciden tally that was the trouble i ran into during my short ten ure as a sunday school teach er harnessing those active nine and ten year old minds into get ting a dialogue going on a sub ject essentially difficult was be yond me in my untrained state i gave up and im afraid a great many of our teachers faced with a somewhat similar situation on a much larger scale might well feel just frustrated ive dwelt at length on the aspects of the revolution in education that have set me agitating and trepidating what i havent mentioned are the changes i agree with greater choice of more relev ant courses use of field trips travel radio tv and the thea tre to breathe life into the printed words of the textbooks i like the assigning of projects to stretch mind and initiative i also like the idea of using term work and tests to offset the ab solute finality of exams hip- hip- hooray for them all they are changes long overdue but r still feel mighty uneasy over those changes based on the theory that all children will be eager beaver school bus safety rules melville taylor local presid ing
