The school board recently selected IS residents and two Norwalk teachers to serve on the committee.

Three administrators will serve as advisers. The committee will look at "future elementary needs and how to utilize the present elementary schools," said Superintendent Don Oviatt. School board member Karen Schrodt said the board has known for "the last couple years that parents in the district think there are some class sizes in the elementary schools that are larger than they should be."

There's nothing unconventional or novel about Burnell, who teaches at Greenwood School, SI 6 Thirty-seventh St. In fact, Greenwood Principal Ixis Smith describes her as "delightful." Nevertheless, pupils In Burnell's first grade class were hesitant about having her as a teacher. Burnell. 30.

Hertfordshire County, in England, and is participating in The American University's Fulbright Teacher Exchange, in which teachers in the U.S. exchange places with teachers in other countries. Jonl lb- PHOTO: PAGE ONE botson, a Greenwood first-grade teacher, is teaching at Bumcll's school In Hertfordshire County, just north of London. This year, about S00 teachers from the United States and other countries, are participating in the exchange, which is in its 14th year.

"I see it as a way of broadening my teaching experiences," says Burnell who has taught for eight years. "I see it as a little bit of a challenge. And I like challenges." Burncll's salary, about 111,200 in American currency, is paid by England. The exchange program pays the teachers' travel expenses and gives them some expense money. Burnell says there are differences between Dos Moines' and England's school systems.

"If I were in England now, I'd be having a week's holiday," she says, a bit wishfully. The English school year is from September to July and is divided into three terms with a week's break in each term There are two-week breaks between terms and a six-week break in the summer. Kindergarten is another difference. Des Moines kindergartners attend school half-days throughout the year.

"There's more support here for the classroom teacher. In Britain, if we need supplies, we use a lot of our own personal resources." English schools have more autonomy than do schools In Des Moines, says Burnell. "The school board here lays down what will be taught in each grade level.

In Britain, each school defines its own curriculum. We have guidelines and that's what they are, guidelines." Although there is no language barrier between the United States and England, Burnell says she has puzzled her pupils by using words likes "bonnet," "boot." and "biscuit." Recently, a pupil had a birthday and the pupil's mother brought cookies to the class. "I told them we were going to have biscuits, and they just looked at me. Then one of them said, 'Those are the things we give our She also told the class about English cars, and their bonnets and boots, and quickly learned that in the U.S. they're hoods and trunks.

Principal Smith says she asked Burnell to keep a list of words which have different meanings in both countries. "I think our children will be surprised by some of the examples." Burnell has met many of her pupils' parents and says many have told her they are glad she is teaching their children. When asked whether one school system was better than the other, Burnell diplomatically sidestepped the question. "I can't judge whether one is better than the other. Both have good points," Burnell said.
