Dear Sir:
The line of thinking which you
evidenced in your editorial of
January "a, 1857, entitled
"Geauga Has Good Schools" is
very disturbing.
Let it be stated at the outset
that we do not intend herein
to pass judgement upon the
schools of Geauga County. Nor
do we pretend to possess Suf-
ficient information about the
many districts to competently
do so.
! What concerns us, is the COM
placency with which you regard
charge that our schools are
inadequate in respect to the
preparation of students for col
lege. In particular, we refer to
the part of your editorial which
states, "It must be borne in
mind that our schools are not
primarily training schools for
college. For most students they
represent the sum total of their
academic training and must be
set up on this basis. We de-
plore such an attitude. If, as
you say, "our Geauga schools
do not specialize in training
students for college, they GER
tainly should. Do you not real
ize the critical shortage of pro-
feSsional people teachers, sci
entists, engineers, doctors, etc.
Which exists today? In the years
to come this shortage will be-
come even more acute unless
something basic is done about
it now. Surveys indicate that
one cause of this shortage is
failure of schools to provide the
necessary curriculum prerequis-
ite for specialized study. 1t is
our obligation to our children
and to the country as a whole
to adequately prepare ourStud-
ents for college. For it can
only be from these college
trained boys and girls that our
professional adults will come.
Young people that have suffic-
lent ability must be prepared
and encouraged to extend their
education beyond the high school
level.
Our schools must rise to this
challenge and should constantly
reevaluate their curriculum and
their inStructional procedures to
be sure they are doing the best
job possible. We, the people,
must support our schools in
every way and see to it that
We give them the money they
need to do the job we expect
them to do.
We trust that the opinion you
expressed is yours alone and
does not reflect the views of
educators in this county. We
feel that a man in your pos
ition of influence upon the minds
of many readers would reflect
an aggressive approach rather
than breed complacency. We
whould not be satisfied with
what you term pretty good
schools in Geauga County"
Excellent schools are what we
must have.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert H.

routinely get an L. and T. judg-
