TIME cover fopposite pagej: Pete Segal turns his trig text in all directions, but his homework answers just aren't there. Fundamentals re-emphasized High school is a time for many things, the most important being an education, and while it is true that high school is not manda- tory in Arizona, CHS students found learning a necessary part of growing. lt was the trend towards basic classes - math, reading and writ- ing - that contributed to the growth. Students found that try- ing to build on a weak founda- tion was not as beneficial as learning the fundamentals of English and math in a deliberate manner. Teachers conformed immediately to this re-birth of the basics, and students seem to be no worse for the wear. A wearing down of the non- essential and a building up of the required gave students a wellrounded background in all subjects. Through review and re-evaluation, students were able to add to their knowledge, and some became not simply Ngood students , but scholars. Education is a continuing, life- long process, but high school is the place to be taken advan- tage of for the basics. Academics ft 1
