NAME ADDRESS-CITY STATE study programs had value in that the student learned to study and work on his own, whie Miss Wendler said that this type of program would not work well for freshmen, sophomores or juniors.

Their personal gripes included: Teachers who assign new material as homework, without explaining it it all, leaving the student to figure it out. Having three or four semester tests on one day. Study- halls, where students who don't want to study distract those who do. Miss Wendler suggested setting up tutoring programs daring study halls, which she termed "a waste of time." In discussing advanced courses, Mr. Taulbee noted, "It requires self-discipline, but the kids who want to work on their own are willing to study and put in the time." On the subject of dress codes, Miss Wendler said that she was definitely against the idea of letting students wear whatever they wanted, and Miss Fritzen stated that "certain standards have to be set." The panelists agreed that dress codes should be written by students, faculty and administrators, trying to reach a compromise.

Other discussion sessions dealt with collective bargaining and teacher negotiations, curriculum, staff evaluation and legal problems. -ZIP- DATE OF BIRTH.

Miss Fritzen stated that independent By Kathy Lewtor "Don't push a kid to go to college," said a college student to participants in the McLean County School Board and Administrators Conference Monday at Illinois State University. Speaking was Kent Taulbee, 8 Ridge-mont Road, Normal, a University High School graduate and a junior at Illinois Wesleyan University. He and two other local high school graduates teamed up for a "tell it like it is" session discussing their high school experiences. Other panelists were Miss Judy Fritzen, 4 Maple Place, Normal, a Normal Community High School graduate and a junior at Illinois State University, and Miss Karen Wendler, 1703 E.

Taylor, a Bloomington High School graduate who attended Eastern Illinois University and is employed by Peoples Bank. discussed curriculum, counseling, dress codes and as part of the evening conference, which also featured a speech by ISU President Francis R. Geigle, on "Higher Education in the Seventies." In addressing the convened board members and administrators, Dr. Geigle told them that "our survival is threatened as never before in man's history. The role of the university is to seek truth." Can think He noted that "We have knowingly and purposefully created a generation of youth better able than any others to think for themselves.

In earlier times we were severely criticized for not doing this: Now that it has been done there are those who don't like it." Five panel discussions followed his speech, including the students' evaluation of their high school careers. Mr. Taulbee cited a "big emphasis on more education kids are forced into it." He advised educators not to force students to go to college, for "we need tradesmen, too." The three panelists cited vocational and industrial arts classes, plus diversified occupation programs, as excellent means of interesting and satisfying the needs of the student who doesn't want to go to college. The three were critical of high school counseling noting that there was often too much "red tape" and not enough personal guidance. The panelists noted that many of the students who don't succeed in college fail because they don't know what they want to do, and s.tated that an effective counseling program could help solve this problem; "They want to go to college and do something," Mr.

Taulbee commented, "but they don't know what." He also noted that many times counselors are too wrapped up in testing to help the student. Early help Miss Fritzen felt that personal appointments with all students early in their high school years could help alleviate the lack of communication between student and counselor, while Miss Wendler noted that the only advice she received when asking for help with a difficult course was "try harder." Mr. Taulbee stated that often counselors were "qualified as far as degrees, but not as far as concern with people." In the area of curriculum, the three agreed that a greater emphasis should be placed on writing and composition, which they termed a "weak spot" in high school curriculums. "They graded too critically on punctuation and grammar rather than on logic and content," said Miss Wendler. She advocated the requirement of a speech course, since many students have to take speech in college and have had no experience in speaking before a group.

tMiss Wendler also mentioned beginning the teaching of foreign languages in seventh grade, while Miss Fritzen said that high schools should have at least a four-year language program in each language offered. Mr. Taulbee noted that "kids from smaller schools have a lot of complaints, they did'nt have a lot of the basics and are often really thrown for a loop" when they enter college. They thought that perhaps logic and philosophy courses might valuable, but were divided as to the value of independent study courses, with the student designing his own program under the direction of teachers. Need teacher "Teachers keep trying to get away from teaching," said Mr.

Taulbee, noting that often students need to have things explained to them. He conceded that an independent study program, might be valuable for students in specific interest NO NEED TO WORRY!
