The modern Lucan public school enhances the northern entrance to the village. The school
keeps pace with modern education trends and is a far cry from the "little red school house"
of the past. (T-A photo)

Deseroes Good Foot A special class to assist students who have difficulty with their schoolwork has been started this term at the Lucan public school. The Opportunity class has14 stu-dents and serves the need of both the. Lucaia school as well as the Biddulph school. Mrs.& Radcliffe who has been teaching at the Lucan school for the past sixyears assumed the duties as teach-. er for this class in Septeal--ber. Mrs. Radcliffe has taught gradeS one, two and three in previous years and is enthused with the pro-spects of the new class. She is presently enrolled in a special education course which will further qualify her for this -work. The opportunity class ser-ves the- need of students from the grade one to grade six level who have experi-enced difficulties, keeping- up with other students in the regular course. The small size of the class gives the
teacher a chance to give in-
dividual Instruction to the
students. In the areas, where
they experience difficulty
and eventually, in some
cases, allow them to rejoin
their regular, class..
A. great: deal ofcolisidera-
lion goes into making the
decision as to whether a
student should be transfer-
red to this special class.
The recommendation, gen-
erally starts with- the- home
room class teacher when a
student is noticed having dif-
ficulties keeping up with the
rest of the class over aper--
lod of time. The recommen-
dation goes to the principal
of the school who reviews
the scholastic career of -the
student, checks on average
marks the student has at-
tained previously as well
as current marks.
The area school inspec-
tor is also consulted in this
matter fOr his advice before
an examiner is called in._
Before being assigned to the
opportunity class students
are tested as to LQ., their
retentiveness and aptitudes.
Although this, type of
course has been used in
schools in: larger centers
for many years it is only
gradually being accepted in
the smaller communities.
Opportunity classes were
started in this area approxi-
mately five years ago and
since this time more and
more schools are adopting
this system.
Students in-these classes
usually adopt one of two at-
titudes. Some feel they are
being taken away from their
regular class and put to
one side and forgotten while
others seem to appreciate•
the extra help they get by
personalized tuition.,
After nearly two months
of teaching this class Mrs,
Radcliffe indicates it is still
too- early to assess the pro-
gress the- students are mak-
ing but indicated she feels
this is a wonderful oppor-
tunity for them.. She hopes
to see some of these stu-
dents loin their former
classes when they have con-
quered the- areas which were
giving them problems be-
fore.
Mrs. Radcliffe suggested
that her work is very close
to that of a private tutor.
With only one or two- stu-
dents in each grade, the
students receive individual
attention and are allowed
to work at their own speed.
They take the same course of
study set out for their spec-
ific grade but may work at
a different speed.
There are 10 students from
the Biddulph school and four
from Liman now attending
the special class. Because
of the transportation prob-
lem it is necessary to start
the classes earlier and let
the students out of school
earlier. This is only a minor
problem and most associa-
ted with this venture feel it
is supplying a vital need in
the education system of the
area.
