MURRAY PFEIFER RR 1, Monkton, Ont. 347-2623 PROM:ITED, PLACED - OR REPEATED Dear Parents, By now you have put your son's or daughter's report card away; but I'm sure it's still fresh in your mind. At the bottom of each and every report card will ap- pear one of three words — promoted, placed or repeat- ed. It is important that you understand the meaning of these three terms and how the decision was reached. The first term is the one all parents hope to see on their child's year-end report. "Promoted to . ." means that in the teacher's opinion the child has satisfactorily completed the present pro- gram and is prepared to be introduced to the new con- cepts and skills at the next grade level. Generally speaking this decision was based upon the child's daily performance as well as a number of teacher -made tests and exams given throughout the year. Standard achievement tests are seldom given and even when they are adminis- tered, the information is sec- ondary to the teacher's ob- servations. These results are rarely, if ever, released to parents and in many in- stances the parents are not aware that standardized testing has occurred. The Warni Signs The second term, "plac- ed", is a word- used to de- scribe the phenomenon all teachers are very familiar with — social promotion. This means that the child has not completed the present program and may or may not be ready to enter the next grade level. But, for reasons of physical size, a previous repeat, social maturation, an extended absence (illness) , or improved third -term per- formances, the child will be allowed to advance to the next grade. Sadly, this term is also used as a substitute for the concept of continuous educa- tion. Many times the result of a placement is a repeat of that grade level the next year. This is a very difficult decision and it is not taken lightly by the school but if academic assistance is not provided in the placement grade perhaps a decision of repeat would be a more hon- est one by the school. The final term is "repeat". This means that in the school's opinion the child has not completed the present , program and is definitely not ready to advance to the next • grade level. Again, this deci- sion is not a easy one for the school to make but itis con- sidered as a matter of board policy to be the first method of intervention. I am not in favor of this 1 AUCTION SALE Of Household Effects; Tools, Lawn Mower, Antiques, etc. for MR. & MRS.

If the child was born late in the calendar year and is achieving up to his or her chronological age but below the other children in the grade, then a repeat would indeed be the, best course of action. That is not tosay this child did not have a successful year but it is better emotionally, soejally and academically to repeat. The inappropriateness of this policy is the repeating of a child when no attempt is made to determine why the child was not successful. A learning assessment should be done to determine If the child's lack of success was due to maturity, learn- ing disabilities, inadequate or inappropriate teaching methods or a combination of these. A learning assessment will determine- not only the " "why", but also it will point, to a more appropriate course of action to best meet the child's needs. It is true that there are children whoare not motivated to learn and are described as having an attitude problem. I submit that it is the school system that has failed in this in- stance, not the child. Part of our training as teachers was how to motivate, and our re- sponsibility is to make learn- ing interesting and enjoy- able. If the child is unmoti- vated and uninterested it is a reflection on our own teach- ing ability and not onthe child's.learning ability. One last bit of information you should be aware of is that a promotion, placement or repeat is subject to the IPRC (Identification, Place- ment and Review, Commit- tee) procedure. Yohave the right and even the obligation to request an IPRC meeting —if -yott-disa-gree-wtth -the school, . and the right to ap- peal their decision if you feel Orgy of those decisions are not in 'the best interest of your child. If you have any questions about a promotion, place- ment or a repeat write to me in care of this newspaper and 1 will respond by return mail.

Bill Smiley Mesmeranda summer Summertime in this coun- try is a mixture of so many wonderful things that I would happily leave for the next world, at once, if some- one said to me, "Sorry, old boy, but you'll never be able to spend another summer in Canada." Perhaps the fascination of a Canadian summer might be compared to falling in love, once a year, with a pas- sionate , as-sionate, unpredictable woman. Just as you are never quite sure where you're at with such a dame, you are never that makes your head reel and your feet falter. But when you throw caution to the winds and submit your- ' self entirely to the affair — in short, when you go on your holidays — she has a change of mood and weeps for two weeks without pause. When August comes, her murmurous langor, the sheer, delectable sight and smell of her, sends you run- ning once more into her round, golden arms — and her perfume gives you hay- fever. On Labor Day, leaving you frustrated, exasperated, ex=- hausted and broke; she smiles once, enigmatically, • and heads south to look for fresher lovers and bigger bankrolls. Ah, • she's a bad one, old Mesmeranda Summer. She delights in making kids whiny or sick, giving them sunburn, and directing them into patches of poison ivy. This for the sake of torment- ing their mothers. She doesn't like .women, you see. Thatis, young women. And her malice to- wards them is easily grasped by looking at the costumes she persuades them to wear at the beaches and in town. I —sure- sure- -of what- a- Canadian-__ ' Summer has in store for you. She might greet you with the warm, seductive scents of June and, just as you are about to seize her, retreat in= to a frame of mind so chilly that you're diving for your recently discarded woollies.

She fills them with mysterious urges and yearn- ings which make them drive like retarded orangoutangs, dance in their bare feet amid broken bottles and rattle- snakes, and fall in love with people who should be put away in institutions. She's not pure evil, though. She has a rather soft spot for the older folk. She warms their arthritic joints with her hot ,tender' hands. She fills their lonely hearts with 'pleasures; in her loveliness. ' And she reminds' them, in subtle fashion, of the days when they knew her long ago, when they were young and passionate themselves. Every time I feel the cool;" smooth hands of children af- ter &ter swimming, every time I walk a lonely beach and see lights across the bay, every time I hear the silken rust- ling of her garments in the evening trees, I know. I am once again in thrall to that wonderful.witch — the Cana- dian summer. And I'm glad. 357-2320 THE ADVANCE -TIMES Bronzetan 200 ml Suntan Oil or Lotion Ultra Brite 100 ml.
