New Day brightens education
by Nathaniel Scott
come relief. Spelled: E -D -U -C -A -T -
I-O -N .
New Day's summer curriculum is
a multi-culture program. A concen
tration on the ethnocentric.
The multi-cultural program began
in June with two weeks o f teaching
and learning about African culture.
K .E . said. The children were intro
duced to textiles, mask-making,
dance, folktales and how to count in
one o f the African dialects.
During the two weeks o f Native
American culture, beadwork, pot
tery, weaving, legends and camping
were taught, she said. For the oc
casion, they had a regular fam ily
dwelling Native American teepee.
The reminder o f the summer pro
gram will feature Asian, Latin
American, M iddle Eastern and
European cultures, she said. Each
cultural period will last two weeks.
" O u r curriculum is different, our
philosophy
is
differen*.
our
approach to discipline is d ifferen t,”
said K .E . (Karen Elizabeth) Edmis-
ten, administrative assistant at New
Day School.
According to Edminsten, who
prefers to be called K .E ., New Day
School is a private alternative to the
public school system for toddlers,
preschoolers and K N I students.
"W e concentrate on individualized
learning The children participate in
their own curriculum ," K .E. said.
" O u r philosophy is that each child
learns at their own pace."
W ith the Jackson secession issue,
low stats on the three Rs — reading,
writing and math, and college
graduates announcing they are func
tioning illiterates, a concentration
on the basic — learning, is a wel
" T h e significance (o f the cultural
teaching) is tolerance, and under
standing people who are different
than yourself,” K .E . said. " W e are
trying to broaden the children's
awareness and consciousness about
different people and their cultural
background."
According to K .E ., they are
trying to teach that "people are
differen t.” and if you understand
that, "you a r e ., able to accept
th em ," she said. "Everyone don't
have to be w hite.”
"N ew Day School welcomes all
students regardless o f race, religion,
sex, color, national origin or handi
cap,” states one o f the school's ad
vertisements. which is a fitting intro
duction for 18-year-old Michelle
Karnow, one o f the 12 teacher/
employees at the school.
Karnow. a second year student at
1 /
Stanford University at Stanford,
California, was born with a handi
cap. She is blind. She comes to New
Day through the Summer Jobs Pro
gram.
" I like working with children. I
really enjoy it ,” she said. “ I've
thought about teaching and this
gives me a little bit o f experience.”
Karnow said some o f the children
understand what it means to be
blind and will aid and assist her.
W hile others, during the heat o f
play, will try to get away with mis
chievous things, she said, smiling
faintly at the recollection.
In regards to the summer culture
program, she said, " I think it's
really good. Not only do they get to
learn, I do. too.”
