Students at Madras Jr. High may purchase a pass to a scheduled activity day with a Bulf Buck. Notebooks kept up-to-date earn a Buff Buck which allows students to purchase various items at a conces sion, or may be saved to allow them to attend an activity day. Students choose how they want to spend their Buff Buck. The notebook program, started three years ago, calls for the use of 3-ring notebook in which stu dents store assignments and their work over a school quarter. This helps students become organized and permits parents a chance to review a student's work. All work and teacher's comments on work are kept in the notebook. Assign ments that students are expected to complete are also included. ' The next activity day for MJH students is set for November 4.

Despite our best intentions, we may be robbing them of the opportunity to struggle, leaving them vulnerable to underachieve ment and suicide. Schools today face an epidemic of underachievers, yet these child ren believe with all their hearts that they are incapable of doing the work asked of them. They say school is boring, irrelevant or too hard. They may seem confused, under constant stress or incapable of doing more. Well-meaning frieinds may sug gest that parents be more under standing, more supportive, more helpful with the studies. Sometimes this is right, but often it is the worst possible suggestion. Mom and Dad to-the-rescue: This same chid may have similar prob lems when it comes to doing other tasks at home. The youngster has learned at an early age that adults will rescue him when the going gets tough. Children quickly become addicted to adult help and begin to believe the adults' unstated message that they succeed only with assistance. Underachievers often have par ents who had to struggle when they were children. They grew up to say, "I don't want my kids to have to struggle like 1 did. They deserve better." Their chldren live in a home where struggle is an enemy rather than an opportunity. The problem was less severe years ago. Parents preoccupied with the Depression, World War II and scratching out a living gave their kids tasks which forced them to help the family. Struggling at home prepared children to stmegle at school. Today's underachievers believe failure is too painful. Yet recent studies tell us that children denied the opportunity to struggle during their early years are at high risk for suicide. They are unable to see themselves solving problems. Solutions: The answer is to give children responsibilities. Children need jobs to do around the house and they need parents who con sider this a top priority. The most effective way to do this is to say to the kids, "There's no hurry on the chores. I just want them done before your next meal." Missing a meal is momentarily unpleasant but avoid ing a struggle hurts self-concept in the long-term. I was asked recently if chores should be assigned to a teenager who has lots of studying, as well as many school responsibilities and a part-time job. Teenagers become experts at believing they have more important things to do than chores. They even decide that studying is more important. My answer was, "Absolutely! Chores come first." Say to your teenagers, "I hope you get fast enough at your chores so the rest of your activities wont suffer." Sylvia B. Rimm, Ph.D., author of Underachievement Syndrome, says many learning problems at school are cured when children are given chores at home. One of her twelve tips for helping under achievers is "Children feel more tension when they are worrying about their work than when they are doing their work."
