ack to basics. Everybody has heard of it, and most schools are making the move back to those elusive essentials needed for life. The NKC district's philosophy of required classes is that they should help students learn the basics Creading, writing, and historyj. After the basics, it was up to students as to what classes they take. The state requires, for graduation, two English credits, two history, one physical education, one fine arts, one math, one science, and one practical arts. Oak Park required sophomores to take English and World Cultures, and juniors, American History. A major result of Oak Park's back to basics approach was Sophomore English, which prepared students for the Language Arts Proficiency Test. Of the approximate- ly six-hundred sophomores, four-hundred and sixty passed the LAPT, and one- hundred and thirty-five failed. In sheer numbers C150-35 it was evident that electives were a major part of Oak Park. w. f-,-,aw A sophomore readies himself for the LAPT test, 1 .,..,A-......-1 'fs Above required classes depend on attendance.
