Questions to pique one's imagination
Why do you need a driver's
license to buy liquor when you
can't drink and drive?
Why isn't phonetic spelled the
way it sounds?
Why arc there interstate
highways in Hawaii?
Why are there notation devices
under plane scats instead of
parachutes?
Why arc cigarettes sold in gas
stations when smoking is
prohibited there?
Do you need a silencer if you
are going to shoot a mine?
Have you ever imagined a world
with no hypothetical situations?
How docs the guy who drives
the snowplow get to work in the
mornings?
If 7-1 1 is open 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, why are there
locks on the doors?
If a cow laughed, would milk
come out her nose?
If nothing ever sticks to
TEFLON, how do they make
TEFLON stick to the pan?
If you tied buttered toast to the
back of a cat and dropped it from a
height, what would happen?
If you're in a vehicle going the
speed of light, what happens when
you turn on the headlights?
You know how most packages
say "Open here"? What is the
protocol if the package says, "Open
somewhere else:?
Why do they put Braille dots on
the keypad of the drive-up ATM?
Why do we drive on parkways
and park on driveways?
Why is it that when you transport
something by car, it's called a
shipment, but when you transport
something by ship, it's called
cargo?
You know that little
indestructible black box that is used
on planes, why can't they make the
whole plane out of the same
substance?
Why is it that when you're
driving and looking for an address,
you turn down the volume on the
radio?
Do you know who, in 1923,
was:
President of the largest steel
company?
President of the largest gas
company?
President of the New York Stock
Exchange?
The greatest wheat speculator?
President of the Bank of
International Settlement?
The Great Bear of Wall Street?
These men would have been
considered some of the world's
most successful men. At least, they
found the secret to making money.
Now, more than 70 years later, do
know what became of these men?
The President of the largest steel
company, Charles Schwab, died a
pauper.
The president of the largest gas
company, Edward Hopson, went
insane.
The president of the NYSE,
Richard Whitney, was released
from prison to die at home.
The greatest wheat speculator,
Arthur Cooger, died abroad,
penniless.
The president of the Bank of
International Settlement shot
himself.
The great Bear of Wall Street,
Cosabee Rivcrmore, committed
suicide.
The same year, 1923, the winner
of the most important golf
championship, Gene Sarazan, won
the US Open and PGA
Tournaments. He played golf
avidly and remained solvent his
entire life.
Conclusion: Stop worrying
about business and start playing
golf.

Four Kinds of ParcntParticipation
in Head Start Programs:
1. Participation in the process of
making decisions about the nature
and operation of the program.
2. Participation in the classroom
as paid employees, volunteers or ob
servers. 3. Activities for parents which
they have helped to develop.
4. Working with their children in
cooperation with the staff of the cen
ter. Suggested ideas parents may want
to use in carrying out these four kinds
of participation are:
1. Participation in the process of
making decisions about the nature
and operation of the program.
A. Become an active member of
the Head Start Center Committee.
B .Talk with other parents and staff
about the program and ways they can
help.
C. Share information about the
program and ideas on ways to im
prove the program with other parents
and staff.
D. Keep up with what's happen
ing in the program.
E. Provide support and assistance
to representatives to the Policy Com
mittee or Council or serve as a repre
sentative. 2. Participation in the classroom
as paid employees, volunteers or ob
servers. A. Many parents have their first
contact with Head Start when they
are encouraged by other parents to
visit the center and see how their
child works and plays with other
children.
B. Soon after parents begin mak
ing contact with the center by visit
ing, they often volunteer to work
with the children, help the staff pre
pare materials for the activities they
are doing with the children, and be
come involved in planning sessions
for the daily activities.
C. Parents may want to assist in
planning and making arrangements
for activities for the children, which
take place away from the center, such
as field trips around the community
and visits to the doctor and dentist.
D. Parents must receive prefer
ence for employment as non-professionals
in the center. It is important
for parents to have a copy of the
personnel policies for the Head Start
program and become familiar with
them. Personnel policies of Grantee
andor Delegate agencies must in
clude the duties and responsibilities
of policy committees and councils.
Specific attention must be given to
the involvement of the Council and
or Policy Committee in hiring, firing
and grievance procedures of Head
Start staff.
3. Activities for parents which
they have helped to develop.
A. Parents may plan educational
programs in areas which are of inter
est to them. Parent coordinators
should provide resources needed by
parents to carry out these programs.
B. Parents may also wish to work
together on community problems
which are of common concern, such
as health, housing, education and
welfare.
C. Parent groups often may spon
sor activities and programs which
will be of benefit to the families in
their community.
D. Advance planning should be
done by parents in order to include in
the program budget a request for the
funds needed to carry out parent spon
sored activities. The funds, when
granted, should be placed in the par
ent activity fund.
4. Working with their children in
their own home in connection with
the staff of the center.
A. Parents can use the time when
staff members visit their homes to:
a. Get ideas from staff about things
they can be doing with their children
to help the children continue learn
ing experience started at the center.
b. Share ideas with the Head Start
staff for things a parent feels should
be a part of the activities of the cen
ter. B. Most parents welcome Head
Start staff into their homes. How
ever, home visits are not a condition
of the child's participation in Head
Start. The Guidelines state that at
least two visits should be made to
each home during a Full Year Pro
gram. However, many parents and
center staff feel that home visits
should be made as often as once each
month.
