Math is necessary

By PAUL RUSH Math Teacher Mathematics is vital to all of us, even though only aver y few actually earn a living with their mathematical ability. Math is atool and should be learned and appreciated as such. The more math we know, the more proficient we get in its use, and better the tool becomes. The learning of math has changed little over th years. Arithmetic requires a lot of memorization for basic number facts and fundamental operations. i There is no substitute for hardwork, for a certain daily grind and intentiveness is required. As a teacher I make daily assignments trying to create an interest within the students. But I can’t learn the material for the student.

Because of this, parents need to be encouraging to their children in this matter. An honest effort by the student and parents will pay off in the long run. I see very little difference in students abilities today, compared to a generation ago. There is quite a difference though in attitude. The best students today are eager, as interested and definately more knowledgable than their parents. The difference that I see is in the average students. They seem to feel that if there is no instant success, then they should quit. There seems to be a shortage of the student who says, “this material is tough, but I can do it.” Learning is still 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration. Education takes place when someone wants to learrK.

Numerous complaints on COD vacation packages

Numerous complaints nationwide are being received concerning vacation packages being offered by various firms through use of cash on delivery service. The Postal Inspection Service has reported initial contact with the public is made via the phone or postcard to notify the recipient that they have been selected by computer to receive an exciting three-day. two-night vacation in “one of 32 different major resort areas including Atlantic City, Mexico City. Canada or the all new Disney World Epcot Center.” They are promised first class accommodations for four and as a further enticement to accept the package, a coupon for a lifetime supply of Kodak color film and several hundred dollars of vacation discount books is offered. For their part, recipients are asked to accept a COD package through the mail usually costing $39 to cover the expenses incurred in the processing and handling of the vacation package. Investigation by U.S. Postal Inspectors disclosed recipients were led to believe no other additional payments or fees would be necessary. Upon receipt of their free gifts, however, customers noted the packages did not include transportation to or from the resort areas, many additional fees and surcharges were required, and the free film and vacation discount books were available only if additional payments were made for processing and handling. Based on early inquiries about the travel offer, thousands of victims nationwide are losing money to this scheme. With summer approaching, similar schemes may appear. Consumers are asked to check the legitimacy of the advertisement and company before accepting a COD. The U.S. Postal Service allows customers to read and copy the name and address of the mailer from COD

mail while the mail is in the possession of a postal employee. The majority of business people who use the mails are legitimate and ethical in the conduct of their businesses. Postal inspectors say. To avoid problems, consumers receiving CQD’s through the mail should deal with reputable firms known to the consumer. If COD merchandise is unsatisfactory, the consumer should first correspond with the sender. If consumers believe a mailer is involved in blatant merchandise misrepresentation they may refer the information to the Chief Postal Inspector, Washington. DC, 20260.
