uring self-scheduling at RHS, students make their own schedules. They sign up for the classes and teachers they want. The library is used for self-sched- uling, and librarian Imogene Yaste looks forward to it every year. Her role in the process consists of stand- ing at the door and stopping those people from scheduling who have not cleared their library obligations. Assistant Principal Morton Greenberg has been in charge of the process since he arrived at RHS four years ago. He feels that it is the best method of scheduling students in Baltimore County. He contends that there are many advantages to scheduling in this manner. First, it's a learning exper- ience for the students because they see how the school is organized. Sec- ond, after self-scheduling at RHS, our students that go to college think that college scheduling is a piece of Leslie Rudo Raymond Ruffin Scott Rund Steven Sadowski Mike Saiontz Paulette Salti Sandra Saltzman Randy Sarners Howard Savage Robin Savetman Mike Scarpignato Joe Scheer Chris Scheper Diane Scher Mary Scheuch Barbara Schildwachter Phillip Schley Ira Schnitzer orry . . . fifth period can squeeze ou cake .... they laugh. Mr. Greenberg understands that self-scheduling has its problems as far as some students are concerned. One such student is Sharon How- ard. I went to the Guidance Office, but they just gave me a big run- around so I just said, 'Forget it. ' Michael Posner was given honors chemistry, but he wasn't told that he couldn't take it unless he also took geometry and transformations. Con- sequently, he had to rearrange his schedule. Kenny Matz likes self-scheduling. The trouble is that if there's a cer- tain class that's only given one peri- od, your whole schedule has to fit around that class, and sometimes it doesn't work. Other sophomores at RHS have positive opinions about the self- scheduling process. Monica Taylor favors self-schedul- ing because the students have a choice of what they want and when they want it. To me, it was very orderly, it was okay. Pam Land partially disagrees. She thinks it was slightly unorganized and a little confusing. But she adds that it's a good idea to let students self-schedule because they become more independent. Although Robert Halpern had to switch around his schedule many times, he still enjoys self-scheduling because juniors and seniors were there to help. If a student has a real problem with scheduling, Mr. Greenberg will handle that difficulty on an individ- ual basis. A classic example of this individual help arose in the case of sophomore Lynn Zaben. Lynn was out of town during self- scheduling. Her mother, with the help of Mr. Greenberg, made her schedule for her. It was a pleasure, recalls Mrs. Zaben, and Mr. Green- berg was very nice about the whole thing. 55 4' '..., ' eff j , i'ff . if Laura Schnitzer Emily Schoenfeld Gail Schuh Gary Schurr Karyn Seidman Lisa Sellars 152fRudo-Smith 1 11 au N' Q J., - ' 3 ,Ev
