Students improve grades by spending more time studying Jgx Workshop tO be held One of the '90s most frequently asked questions is, "Why do Ameri can students lag so far behind their counterparts in other countries?" According to the 22nd Annual Sur vey of High Achievers, conducted by Who's Who Among American High School Students, one reason is that more than half of America's best high school students, 56 percent, study less than seven hours per week - less than one hour a day - while only 21 percent study more than 1 1 hours per week. And these are A and B students! "It's no mystery why our students are falling behind students in other countries," stated Paul Krouse, pub lisher of Who's Who Among Ameri can High School Students. "They spend 30 percent less time in school than their peers in other western de mocracies and they aren't being challenged by soft curricula." While students feel there are problems in our education system, they don't feel their own schools are at fault. Nearly three-quarters (73 percent) say Japan's education sys tem is stronger than ours, but almost the same percentage (75 percent) rate the quality of education at their own school as excellent or good. While 55 percent express great concern about the condition of public educa tion in the United States, only 38 percent of public school students would select a different school if given thechoice. If they had to choose another school, more than 61 percent of the public school students would choose another public school. The students give their own teachers very mixed grades when asked to rank their qualifications. Although 68 percent say most of their teachers know the subject matter and 60 percent say most of their tpnrhers annear to cniov their work, only 36 percent say most of their teachers know how to teach and less than 23 percent say most of their teachers make class interesting. Nearly half of the students (49 per cent) say only some of their teachers communicate well, and an almost equal percentage (48 percent) say only some of their teachers make them work harder. So what is the solution to our lack of success in the classroom? Ac cording to those surveyed, raising student's and teacher's expectations and standard would improve the overall quality of education in their schools. Although three-quarters (75 percent) say a longer school year would not improve the quality of education they receive, 83 percent think more rigorous professional Continued on page 2 A tax preparation workshop will be held this year.
