In spite of the fact that seniors do not like being required to take senior seminar, students this year appeared to agree with the graduates last year who felt it was the most valuable class they took in twelve years of school. Since last year, seniors were required to take the course. Seminar means an open exchange of ideas, and the course is designed to give stu- dents a last chance while in high school to learn about gov- ernment, law, and consumer economics. School officials explained that the school board here has an understanding with the state concerning what students have to know when they leave school. The committee involved with contract accreditation here feels that seniors should have some knowledge of government and law, and sees current accountability as one of the requirements for the district to meet. Edward Lambert, senior semi- nar teacher, said that from his experience in the last two years, he thinks the class is needed. He said, It will help students to become more involved citi- zens. Lambert continued, They will learn about con- sumer issues like insurance, credit, and taxes. School officials said that sen- iors did not seem to like the fact the course was required — especially the first year that sen- ior seminar was taught. Officals said that students were not pre- pared for it because they plan- ned their senior schedules and then had to change their plans. Lambert said, however, that more than one senior came to him and said he felt the course was one of the most valuable in which he was enrolled in his twelve years of school. Law enforcement is another social science that is taught along with senior seminar. The law enforcement class featured speakers once a week who lec- tured on different aspects of law enforcement from child abuse to murder. Calculators — Social Sciences 21
