Basics; The three R's arestill being, taught,, but in an inte way,not as isolated ,subjects Reading_ and writing are now part of the whole language program, an arithmetic, whose elements of ad- dition, subtraction, multiplication and division were appropriate for pretechnological age, have given way, to math, which even fir primary grades includes geometry estimating, calculators and cpm puters. Discipline: To discipline original.; ly meant to teach, not to. punish, and schools that focus on . teachin children respect for tfiemselves others and the environment re a still ypsta�y(� after school. or forfeit privileges, Bunking: An amiantus' student usually repeats a level only after ,a thorough. checking for vision, he and family proiblem and only ,alb the parents are consulted. Homework: Homework is less an isolated add -un to the day's woilr than an extension of in -crass work, such as finishing a _ puppet show script, or interviewing a local politician.

Phonics: The study of the sounds of letters and letter groupss as a readingtool for primary grades is still° taught,_but usually in con- junction with other class work Instead ' of askingchildren to coitiplete repetitive work sheets on the sound "ch" the teacher may say, "Two of the animals we've been talking about begin with the sound.
