ith Suffolk High’s varied curriculum, individuals could pursue their interests and talents in the classroom. It was pastels and paint brushes for the artists, bricks and cement for the ma¬ sons, typewriters and shorthand for the busi¬ ness-minded, i and term papers and trigo¬ nometry problems for the college bound. New classes like Education for Employ¬ ment and new faces like the Woolwines in the science and math departments provided the year with a needed change of pace. SPARKLIN’ 19

Taking FI Count I n the April 1, 1979 edition of Parade, the results of a nation¬ wide Gallup Poll were presented in the article “What Your Kids Really Think About School.” In that arti¬ cle, four fallacies were stated— Fallacy No. 1: The public schools are no go . Fallacy No. 2: Teachers are apathetic. Fallacy No. 3: Kids arc ir¬ responsible and don ' t want to work, and Fallacy No. 4: America’s youth have lost the spirit of enterprise that made the country great. In the poll, 55 per¬ cent of the students polled rated their schools A or B. The ratings were con¬ sistent whether students were white or non-white, from the East or West, above-average or mediocre in their grades. In rating their teachers, stu¬ dents also gave them an A or B. and most believed that the teacher was interested in his or her work and that each showed a serge of concern for their students. To see how Suffolk High students felt about their school and teachers, a similar poll was sent out to sixth period English classes to enable them to voice their opinions. The results of the school poll were very similar to those of the Gallup Poll. When asked how they would grade their school, the ma¬ jority voted that the school was C, with A placing a close second. The major¬ ity of students rated their teachers as B, with A coming in second again. Most students felt that their teacher was interested in them and generally knew what they were teaching and how to get the point across. Attentive (oMn.
