Catching the public ' s eye Television in the 1980 ' s has already greatly changed from the decade earlier. The movies now seen on regular television deal with subjects with more controversy. An example was the television movie Something About Amelia which delt with a father having incestous relations with his daughter. There was much con- troversy about the show. Another controversial subject that dealt with a television was nuclear war in ABC ' s The Day After. Many scientist and psychologist questioned how it would affect children. And of course cable television has con- tinued to grow with more stations and more area covered by the stations. One of the best hit shows on cable television is a station called MTV for mu- sic television. The station cast nothing but videos of rock groups. Also it cast special concerts and keeps listeners up to date about concert information and dates. Another popular trend on cable arc shows with aerobccise to keep listerners healthy. Also video game television where the viewer can call in and compete on a video game over the telephone. Amelia ' s Secret The T.V. show Something About Amelia was one of the many programs that dealt with controversial subjects. This movie dealt with in- cest families and the pain they go through. Movie Crew Swiss T.V. personalities and camera men came to portray our school. The show was a smashing success in Sweden. Thief! Fred Buck gets apprehended trying to steal video equipment. Fred often walked off with cameras an other such items, but never had been caught. Seniors G-R 163

Schools open to criticism Can the schools be saved? That was a very popular question in the last year. The quality of education was questioned throughout. The criticism of the schools were many and varied. The main criticism are the quality of teaching in public schools across the Nation is inadequate. There is also a dire need for math and science teachers in nearly all fifty states. One year of math and one year of science are required for a high school diploma in 70% of the states, and none has a foreign-language requirement. On most levels, United States students suffer in comparison with those in other industrialized nations at a time when American standing in world markets, in terms of both product and ideas, is threatened. The people want tight academic stan- dards for teaching candidates, teacher sal- aries that are professionally competitive, eleven month teacher contracts, grant and loan incentive to attract better teachers, and a career ladder leading up to status of master teachers. The National Commission On Excellence in Education was created to help the school systems attain these goals. Seniors R-S 165
