Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October il, 19785 The Piper Leads the Way Kawartha Shriners Meet Here for Firsi Time looking pieces, the local furni- ture stores are visited. Kramp's Furniture store in Rowrnanville quite often finds its name on the program acknowledging the loan of some furniture. If the play is set in a certain period,- the local antique collectors are approached. Although the furniture, once on stage, becomes the responsibility of the Stage Manager, the person who has borrowed the pieces hovers about back stage like a mother chick watching out for ail the borrowed treasures. Often, if furniture with that well-worn look is needed, the "Large Prop's" family goes for a week or se without their dining room table or what- ever. The "Stnanl Prop" persan not only must acqjuire a long list of small articles which are needed on the stage, but mu§t determine which articles corne on, stage wi1th which actors and from which side cf the stage. At the beginning of each scene, he checks over the stage to make sure everything is in place. The Bowmanville Drama Workshop is now in rehearsal for "A Thurber Carnival" Because cf the imaginative nature of this type cf produc- tion the set and the props will be quite unconventional. Corne on Nov. 9, 10, il at the Rowrnanville High School and find out what is going on, not only on stage, but what those behind the scences have been up to.

As a good parent you say yesof course you will help, and the enly question which probably enters your mind is whether you will finish your reading before doing the hornework. As a concerned and suppor- tive parent it is essential that you show interest in your student's school work and respond te a request for help with homework. The big problem here is how much help do you give before your help starts te cause harrn. No one learns very much if semeone else does ail or rnost of the work. Ahl that dees is deny the person the opportun- ity to learn.. Semetirnes par- ents, in an effort te help, give far toc much help. I know cf parents who virtually do their children's prejects. The pro- jects look great, the student gets a good mark, but did he or she learn very much? Another student who may have pro- duced a less attractive pro jeet but did it hirnself or with minimal help from his par- ents, will have learned much more. It's net uncommon in the falcf the year te see mothers eut gathering differ- ent types cf leaves for a student project. The mother learns a great amount about leaves and trees but the student learns very little frorn the process. The same problem exists in academic studies toc. When a student can't understand a question in mnath, he may be delighted te have someone de it for him. That solves the problern cf the moment but dcesn't give much background te deal with a sîmilar problemn when it is faced in the future. Far better te ask a few key questions or give a chue and let the student go away and puzzle the question eut him- self. If he or she needs more help, then give it after they have tried ycur first sugges- tions. To give help before a student has tried the work on his own is to encourage yeung people te rely on ethers befere giving themselves a chance, If, they get into this habit, they will be very ll-prepared te deal with a problern, bce that a school homework prohiem or a problem in life, whcn ne one is around to hclp thcmn. My parents had very littie education. They simply could net help me with Myhomne- work. They showed interest, c(>flern and encouragement but could flot hclp directly. Because of this 1 learned how te face and solve problems on my ewn and that's not a bad coping skill te pessess. If a student requests his parents help him with homne- werk, please help him. How- ever, be certain that he or she does most cf the, work and does most of the learning. Show,ý interest, show support, show concern, show enicour-- agement, but don't do -the work.
