'4The classroom during 1960 has become the frontline in America's battle to remain a World power, say today's spokesmen for education, And they are right as the Sputnik-alerted age of education has revealed to even the most frivolous that goofing off is now considered the biggest bonehead play of all time. For some 26 percent of Balboa-ites, the three years spent at Buccaneerville is a preparation for college. For the others, it's a training ground to prepare for trades and vocations in the regular Workaday world - without the four year Wait of college. Education - at Bal or elsewhere has its critics - like the Bal senior who leveled this blast: Sixty percent of school is bull. By that I mean rallies, interruptions in classes, taking roll, Waiting for quiet, discipline prob- lems, elections, seniors pictures and stuff like that. I agree that some of that is necessary but it still takes up time. Surprisingly - to that senior and others of his ilk, teachers, deans and principals agree - that too much of school is bull - though they would put it in a more genteel Way. And While the senior might have gone overboard on his percentage, these purveyors of edu- cation agree that much of high school is a repetition of skills that should have been learned in grammar school. Today's school leaders are attempting to redirect the principal energies of youngsters back into a more full- fledged learning program, that recognizes the values of activities, but still retains the belief that the bulk of significant learning occurs in the classroom. 21
