Officials Urge Public To Visit Schools October 24-30

The dilemma of today's schools — with their still too high dropout rates, the minimal learning on the part of many who remain in school, and the growing alienation among the young of all colors and classes — will be the focus of American Education Week to be observed in the Lakeland schools and across the nation October 24-30. It is the time of year when the public is urged to come in and see firsthand what goes on inside the classroom. The hope is that citizens will implement the theme of this year's observance and ‘Help Schools Bridge the Gap' between the promise and the performance of the American educational system. American Education Week has been held annually since 1921. It is under the auspices of the National Education Association, the American Legion, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and the U.S. Office of Education. The purpose: to encourage citizens to look intensely at their schools in order to provide adequate support and initiate action toward correcting problems or weaknesses in the education program Lakeland school personnel wants interested parents and citizens to find for themselves what areas need improvements and, more important, what the opportunities are for their implementing needed changes.
