Child Care Sharing Urged Ry Economist SALEM SCENE School is out and it's a safe bet few children will be giving much thought to classrooms in the immediate weeks ahead. But boards, administrators and educators — especially on the high school level — will be s p e n d in g considerable time im plementing new secondary edu cation graduation requirements involving the Class of 1978. This fa ll’s ninth graders make up the vast bulk of the 33,000 or so who will graduate in the spring of '78. And in the next four years those youngsters will re ceive what educators have dub bed "survival-level education." Lest anyone believes survival education indicates a reduction in educational requirements or opportunities, the Oregon De partment of Education is quick to point out new graduation requirements o f f e r greater learning opportunities and ex panded course requirements. In the developmental stage since 1969, the new requirements replace standards that have been in effect since 1932 and which were largely college prep aratory in nature Adopted by the State Board of Education in September 1972, new minimum graduation requirements in ef fect add a third leg to the high school education stool. In addit ion to earning credits and at tending classes, graduates by 1978 are to achieve specific competencies. Oregon educators have adopt ed survival as the mo6t import ant of all human needs and believe it must be satisfied before others — such as security, love and belonging, self-esteem, etc. — can be achieved.

Mothers who feel a need to > get i away from small children but can’t afford a babysitter—or don’t feel justified in having one just to have some time for them selves—should explore the pos sibility of an exchange with , a friend, suggests Carol A. Ashley, Columbia County Extension home economist. Sharing child care on a mere or less regular basis gives each mother a feeling of freedom. Mothers can gain from friend ships developed and an oppor tunity to share child concerns with another person. Children benefit from such an arrangement too, notes Mrs. Ashley. They learn to be away from mother and how to get along within a different fam ily. It also provides an opportunity to play with another child and develop friendships.
