What dc they dc? Some students seem to believe that teachers never do any- thing but teach! Contrary to this belief, teachers are very involved in the community, in churches, in family life, and many other activities. Many teachers are members of civic organizations and clubs. They stay very busy supporting these activities during the sum- mer months. What do they do? Well, some jog, play tennis, ride bicycles, go to ball games and many other exciting things. Some teachers enjoy just sitting around and relaxing on weekends and during sum- mer vacation. No matter wha teachers enjoy doing in thei spare time, you can be sure they are always busy!

EDUCATION: What do ycu exuect Mrs. Ward: sees a trend back to the basics of education — the 3 R's — in a more direct fashion than cur- rently exists. Recession will force further cutbacks in school budgets, eliminating full scale sports and fine arts. Mrs. Young: In the 1980’s education will continue to try to educate the masses. The emphasis will revert to providing more of a liberal arts education. Mrs. Flores: would like to believe that some old foundation principles would be restored and that the quality of education would improve. I’m a firm believer in progressive change, but I’m afraid our philosophy of each doing his own thing” has sent us off in a hundred directions. Mr. Brooks: I expect a shift to more basics in school and a return to better control of students. Mrs. Slone: I think education will become more free, not confined so strictly to the classroom. As far as vocational schools are con- cerned, I think there will be more students entering them. Mr. Lister: I believe school systems will begin to redirect their efforts back to emphasizing the bas- ics. All students must learn to read and use math before they can be expected to learn other subject matter.
