Are We Cheating Our Children?
Are we cheating our children? It seems cruel
to say, hut we're convinced that we have to answer in
the affirmative. We’re intelligent enough to know that
we can’t come up with a simple, pat answer to our school
problems in Brookings I larbor Schixd District 17c hut
we do realize that we have a definite problem.
We feel that our children are k in g deprived of the
greatest thing that we as parents and citizens can offer
them—a complete education. Anything less than ,1 com
plete education isn’t enough.
Read what Lawrence Ci. Derthick, C ommissioner
of education, told a subcommittee of General Education
before the I louse of Representatives recently.
He reports “When children are on double shifts
they attend school less than the minimum five or six
hours per day required by law’ in most states. These laws
concerning the length of the school day have been esta-
Wished to provide a minimum base for the education of
school age children. It is very easily seen that over a per
iod of time a child attending school on these double shifts
suffers a serious loss in instruction and achievement and
is placed at a definite disadvantage in comparison with
pupils having knefit of a full day’s schooling.
“Even those children who are penalized by a half-day i
schedule for only one year lose about 20 per cent of their
school time. I he single, four hour session deprives them
of an hour a day, on the average. By the end of the school
year this curtailment adds up to a two month loss.
“Morning or afternoon, as a matter of fact, brings
the fatigue that arises from a tight schedule. Both child
ren and teachers feel hurried and are never relaxed:
There is never quite enough time to finish a job.’’
z
Well! Do the mothers and fathers of Brookings
realize that some of the children here have k e n double
shifting for five years and more. At 20 per cent a year—
for 5 years—the child is k h in d his contemporary in
other schools by a full year!
But the worst is apparently yet to come. The school
population of Brookngs and I larbor continues to grow,
and yet so many people seem to have do-nothing atti
tudes. What apparently started out as a temporary tneas*
ure has now developed into a permanent thing—and
we as publishers—and as parents just don’t like it.
The effects of half day schedules? Mr. Derthick
says “ The effects of half day schedules and overcrowding
are of two types: those of the past that have already den
ied our children of their educational rights, and those
of the future that will determine the security of our citi
zens and the position of our nation in relation to the
other countries of the world.
>.
“For the past decade our children on half day sched
ules and in overcrowded classrooms have lost a portion
of their basic education: been neglected and submerged
in the mass instructed classroom: suffered frustration at
higher grade levels kcause of inadequate preparation:
and have been subjeted to circumstances conducive to
drop outs and delinquency.’’
The facts are plain, but a question rem ains...........
what are we going to do aknit it?
