ROP Offers Job Trades By Stephanie Allen During the past year, many students participated in Regional Occupation Programs. These classes offered job training skills to county residents aged sixteen and over. Among the ROP courses, was a class that taught Animal Health. The instruc- tor, Mr. Stauf stressed, We train the student so when they leave high school they will be able to go right to work, at a level above a basic hireef' Whereas an- other ROP class, Child Care, developed the basic fundamentals of helping a child through his growing years. The students taking the class began a four-week training period in September. Mrs. Kimball, the head of the child de- velopment center, provided insight on how to let the young children explore skills that would help them learn from others. The students who interacted with the children also gained a valuable education. By watching them grow, it helps me learn of what l want to do in the future, commented Kris Sampson. ROP classes were an important part of the education system at Poway High School.

An Mrs. Behrhorst points out to Kelly Richardson that they are going to study the octopus in the lab. In Learning By Stephanie Allen t'My physical science class has taught me a lot about the world around me, commented Kari Becker. Courses ranging from Biology to Chemistry were offered to the student. Often these courses left many students confused. ln the Chemistry courses extra credit was offered to the student. This Way one could benefit in the learning as- pect as well as in helping their grade. The extra credit was on computer disks, which would take the student step by step, through many types of difficult problems. The science teachers also tried to make their classes interesting. I try hands on experiments in science, so it will be a learning experiment of Why something happened, remarked science teacher Melavel Odviar. Students also felt the same. I have learned a lot in science this year, the teachers make it very interesting with experiments, and different ideas of learning, made it even more enjoyable, stated Christy Fort- ney, And by making the classes interest- ing the students learned more and en- joyed the classes as a whole.
