Page 6-B Public Schools Continued From Pago 5-8 and Secondary Act, about 12 to 15 per cfcnt of the funding for public sfehools came from the federal government. This Act included funds for the disadvantaged and handicap ped, as well as funds for libraries and experimental programs. In 1966, North Carolina first expended tax money for kindergarten education and, within three years, the Legislature ap proved a statewide ex perimental Kindergarten program. Continued efforts to im prove the educational system in the 1970 s included the establishment of eight regional centers throughout the state and the extension of the teachers’ school term to ten months. By 1976-77, the kindergarten program no longer operated on an ex perimental basis, available by this time to all children in the state. The 1977 state legislature passed txgh the annual and competency testing programs to diagnose individual learning needs in grades one, two, three, six and nine and make sure high school graduates had the knowledge and skills to cope with everyday life. The early 1980 s find North Carolina’s public schools in better shape than ever before. The state is spending alost $2,000 on each student atten ding its public schools. More than 100,000 school personnel are employed statewide. North Carolina graduates 92% of its students and one of its chief concerns is to great ly reduce the number of students dropping out of school today. North Carolina’s public elementary and secondary students are now scoring above the na tional average in all grade levels tested. It’s appropriate at this time to celebrate the “Year of the Public Schools” in North Carolina. Holiday : Blues j ’Tis the seasoij to be jolly, or so the old song goes. But the holidays may find some people singing the blues. “Many people find themselves feeling lonely and when isolated, particularly when there is holiday activi ty going on all around them,” says Dr. Leo Hawkins, exten sion human development specialist at North Carolina State University. This is opiated to the high expectaticifirpeople hold for the holidays. “The usual pro blems of liying in a family are accelerated, especially around Christmas,” the ex tension specialist says. Because there is so much to be done, there is an increas ed need for communication, organization, rules and regulations. It is also a time to offer emotional support to other family members and to take care of self-esteem. These are often weak areas in the family, and problems become worse at a time when people are expecting more. “There is also an increase in symbolic expressions dur ing religious holidays. If a person is not accustomed to this type of expression, he may experience a sense of meaningjessness without realizing] where it cames from,” Dy. Hawkins points out. More people are also under considerable economic strain this year. “Those who don’t have the money either go in to debt or feel frustrated,” Dr. Hawkins says. Going into debt results iis anxiety during the holidays followed by depres sion whe4 the bills come due. The holiday blues can be lifted if fsmi]jy members and friends i are alert. “Try to notice if one person is quieter tian usual and go to them. Besure to include them in everjfthiqg that’s going on,” Drj Hawkins recom mends. {‘Sometimes people don’t realize jvhat is happen ing until tampers flare or someonJ ii crying. They would kipw if the were in the habit oft listening, planning and checking with each other.” ■ Rim* ki stains from china by aoJkina ov*might in * solution of defltu rt cieanar. ijgPI IS |j k WITHMaOOOBMOBf OBOCB ANO COUPON (UMni) 1 It’s new!
