It's School Time Again Itis school time again! ‘Monday, August 30, 1982 will mark the first of a new 180-day school session for many local students, teachers, and yes, even parents. It really seems like only yesterday that the summer school break came about! ‘As we enter into the 19823 school year, we would ask students, teachers, administrators, and parents to dedicate themselves to the true meaning of education. ‘STUDENTS—The opportunities exist, more so today.than ever before, for each of you to receive an excellent education. But, first you must dedicate yourself to learning. You must be a self: starter. Teachers can only teach. They cannot make you learn. You must be self-diseiplined. You must develop good study habits. The type of ‘education you receive is largely up to YOU. Don’t blame Ms, Jane Doe if you later flunk out of college or you later find out you wasted your time in high school. Have fun! Enjoy your school years. Enjoy your friendships. Believe it or not, those years will always hold your fondest memories— ‘and many of your regrets! Learning is fun only if ‘you want it to be. Don’t let a lack of education be ‘one of your regrets in later life. TEACHERS—Re-dedicate yourselves to teaching. Your profession is one of many personal rewards. It is also one of many frustrations. And, ‘as with any of us, the frustrations have a tendency to lower our morale, Don’t let it happen to you just because John Doe student continually acts up in your class and no one seems to be able to do anything about it. Don't let it happen when you feel some of your students could care less about being educated. Don’t even let it happen when some of your students’ parents seem unconcerned about what their child is doing in school, You are professionals. You have been taught well. You know what teaching is all about. You are good at it. Tell yourself these things and watch the frustrations disappear. ADMINISTRATORS—Keep the ship on settled ‘waters. Support your teachers (and teachers likewise support your administrator) in all their endeavors, from discipline to the basic ‘educational teachings. Meet the obstacles face to face without fear of rebuke. Earn respeet by being evenhanded in all school dealings. Don't let parents cause you to stray from the straight and narrow because they're so close-minded about their own children they can’t see their own hand in front of their eyes. You are the school’s leader. Others will follow your example. As with teachers, don’t let the frustrations of school life, ‘and there are many, get you down. Keep the chin ‘up and the boat on the right course. PARENTS—You hold the key for a above. That's why you're on the botox heap! You, above all others, must show ¥< that you're interested in his education. ¥ show teachers and administrators tha interested. And you must be supportiy three in all theit endeavors. As this 34 around, don't judge school personnel be have the opportunity to hear another si story. There are always two! Discipline ¥ at home, and be supportive of any dis¢ receives at school. Without doubt, you ‘most important cog in the machinery. ‘your support, the public schools can't ‘And, neither teachers nor administra function without your wholehearted suj efforts. Yes parents, you hold the key. £ the door! Our student are the ones that really cot
