Letters To The Editor

Questions Test Secrecy

Dear Editor: As tane passes by I learn more and more the importance of small town weekly newspapers. You print local items that would never appear in the larger dailies of nearby cities. Most of us don’t appreciate the importance of your publication. You recently carried an item of local r.ews that had tremendous significance for me. I feel die parents of every school child in the Lakeland district ought to be interested in the article. Let me explain what I am writing about. You printed an article concerning the school program of the area. Among other things you wrote about psychological testing and psychometrists in the school. This interested me. I wanted to know if such a program is to be a part of the schools activities, j Upon inquiry. I learned that it is j indeed, aid futher, I learned that such a program on a limited scale f has been in effect in the pas*. My curiosity about this subject has been whetted by activities in the United States Senate and the I House of Representatives. In re- ! cent times members of the con-1 gress. including Barry Gokhvater and others, have introduced legislation to outlaw these psychological testing programs in our public schools. For the most part, the programs are of no real value in the teaching of our children the skills of reading, writing, arith-1 metic. etc. On the other hand, they are loaded with dangers that can easily do great harm to the good J welfare of our communities. Information available at present tells us that we parents have no i right to see the tests that are used, nor are we permitted to see the j results of such tests. Why should j ! this be so? I am solely responsible for die training up of my !• children: so why should the school. teachers be unwilling to let me see the test questions used in the school? I have done some research j on this question and believe I have an answer. The questions are completely irrelevant to the good task j of educating children in a wholesome manner. I recently purchased a list of representative questions that are. used in this psychometry process. I was flabbergasted

to learn of some of the ridiculous questions. Here are a few; 1. Which is worse: Spitting on the Bible or spitting on the American Flag? 2. Which is more important; Denying the existence of God or laughing while the Star Spangled Banner is being played? 3. Do you want to know about veneral disease? 4. Do your parents discuss sex with you? 5. Do you think you are normal in your sexual development? I have a list of over 300 questions that are used in these tests and expect to receive more in the near future. I would be happy to share them with any interested parents or other folks. I believe the use of such a questioning program has no place in the education of my children: and I have six of them. The proponents of the system declare there are great numbers of children in our schools that simply don’t fit and so they j must be tested psychologically by a psychometrist to solve their emotional problems. Os course the program assumes that ail children have problems and need to be testjed_ Many tests are designed for entire classes, thus all of our youngsters are involved. In addition, any teacher, principal, or school administrator or other interested parties may request the school psychometric to administer special tests if they feel the need. Parents , have no voice in the matter, j I, for one. most certainly object |to the loss of freedom involved in this plan of brain searching: phis I the assumption of responsibility on ] the part of school teachers, officjiafe and the psychometrists, I am j solely responsible for the conduct ; of my children. If any of them are causing undue trouble at school I want the teachers, principals, superintendent, etc., to notify me and I will take whatever action is necessary to correct the situation I, and only I, have the responsibility for such problems. I will be the erne that decides if my child is to have ; a .psychological test. God has been gracious enough to entrust me with the training up of six youngsters. He tells me in His Word: “Train up your children in the nurture and ad-

the other side. The car was eastbound, and was a 1969 model. A westbound trucker saw the accident, stopped his truck and went to the scene in an attempt to be of help. He attempted to stop an-

monition of the Lord.” I ask the public school of my commuinty to cooperate with my church and me so that toegther we may mold the minds of my youngsters and develop them into God-fearing citizens of the greatest nation on earth. Mr. Editor; I just re-read what I have written so far and' I see j the letter is getting much too long. In closing, let me say: I sure am glad I get vour newspaper. You have awakened me. I’m going to | make further inquiry regarding the school. I hope other parents will do the sane. Sincerely, Robert M. Croumlich R 1.

W ZlNjpS] “I’m Proud of My Town!” This is the title of an article submitted to Grit, the nation’s largest weekly newspaper, published at Williamsport, Pa., by Mrs. Leloss Smith* of Syracuse. The article appeared in a recent issue. Here it is: Because adults of the community really care about the problems and the dreams of the young folks, my home town of Syracuse, Ind., has a youth center of which we all are rightfully proud. TTie project began with a gift of money from a Syracuse woman. She and other individuals rented a former bowling lane, painted and redecorated it, and established the center. The adults installed pingpong and pool tables, a soda bar for sale of soft drinks and ice cream, and a dance floor. The group hired a director for the center and began taking turns serving as chaperones. But a special committee of young folk was given the responsibility of conducting the center’s program. Juvenile delinquency is unknown in Syracuse, and the youth center is largely responsible. My son is one of the members of the centeT, and as a mother I hope that the adults of other communities will follow the example of Syracuse. 1 * * * A reception held at the Hugh Neer home at 600 So.
