LETTERS TO
Will now
To the editor:
It being in the best interest
of the Pioneer Memorial Hos
pital patients and residents,
the facility and community, I
will no longer resist the hospi
tal board's request for my
resignation.
The last four years have
been in many ways a reward-
4 A word to
To the editor and the citizens
of Morrow County:
In 1981 Secretary of Educa
tion T.H. Bell created a Na
tional Commission on Excel
lence in Education. The report
of this commission, entitled
"A Nation At Risk" has re
ceived wide publicity in the
last few months. A great deal
of emphasis was given in the
report to the need for changes
in our schools. Throughout the
nation, school district boards
of education are giving a great
deal of attention to this report
and other similar ones with an
eye to improving the educa
tional system. Morrow County
is certainly one of those dis
tricts. There is. however, a very
important portion of this re
port which is seldom ad
dressed in the news media
which I feel needs to be called
to the attention of all people. I
am referring to the final por
tion of the report which is
entitled "A Word to Parents"
and "A Word to Students."
Within the week, all stu
dents in Morrow County
School District will receive a
copy of this message to stu
dents. The commission's word
to parents is included below in
its entirety.
Sincerely,
(s MattDoherty
Superintendent
Morrow County School
District
To Parents
You know that you cannot
confidently launch your child
ren into today's world unless
they are of strong character
and well-educated in the use of
language, science, and
mathematics. They must pos
sess a deep respect for intel
ligence, achievement, and
learning, and the skills needed
to use them; for setting goals;

parents'
and for disciplined work. That
respect must be accompanied
by an intolerance for the
shoddy and second-rate
masquerading as "good
enough."
You have the right to de
mand for your children the
best our schools and colleges
can provide. Your vigilance
and your refusal to be satis
fied with less than the best are
the imperative firs step. But
your right to a proper educa
tion for your children carries a
double responsibility. As
surely as you are your child's
first and most influential
teacher, your child's ideas
abouat education and its sig
nificance begin with you. You
must be a living example of
what you expect your children
to honor and to emulate.
Moreover, you bear a respon
sibility to participate actively
in your child's education. You
should encourage more dili
gent study and discourage
satisfaction with mediocrity
and the attitude that says "let
it slide": monitor your child's
study; encourage good study
habits; encourage your child
to take more demanding ra
ther than less demanding
courses; nurture your child's
curiosity, creativity, and con
fidence; and be an active
participant in the work of the
schools. Above all, exhibit a
commitment to continued
learning in your own life.
Finally, help your children
understand that excellence in
education cannot be achieved
without intellectual and moral
integrity coupled wih hard
work and commitment. Child
ren will look to their parents
and teachers as models of
such virtues.
