Richmond Heights High School - Yearbook (Richmond Heights, OH)

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
