ll just love my World Literature class. We've covered so many excellent works, and I've had a lot of fun in the class, especially when we act out plays. And along with all of this, I've learned quite a bit about literature and history. - Jenny Gawelski Il omposition has been a really worth- while class for me. I have learned a lot about writing, and I think I've improved my skills. The teachers don't just give assignments - they go over your themes and help you with your problems. - Lisa Witzke J J t . . . to Shakespeare and Syntax j 00 Mrs. Nancy Schad - .

The Individual ? N think ,we should have been able to test out of the sophomore classes. If you already know the material, it's not going to do you any good. lt would be hard to test this accurately, but el think that if you can demon- stratethat you have aboveaverage skills, you shouldn't be put in classes geared to alower level. ' g, l Determining Qbmpetency would be an enormous problem. The teacher or guidance counselor wouldlhave to decide on the basis of past grades and test, scores, and even then it would be hard to determine for- cer- .tain whether yor not ' the W- student already knewtheimaterial. , l , i Q XADUL. yet, there should be some provisiontbuilt into the system, not only for 'lhei gifted students butt, also tor those who have. had little or no proper English training. Perhaps if a system was set up which would allow students to be individually consid- ered,tit would be tairerfor all., i English f 131
