Pegram Middle School Hearings Concluded7 ByTrellieL. Jeffers The last public hearing for the fiddle School ; Concept was held Thurs day, May 28, at Shepard Junior High School. Unlike last year's hearings on the Middle School Concept, the crowd was relatively small, consisting mostly of city schools per sonnel. The few parents who at tended the hearing seemed to have strongly favored a . middle school, with two parents expressing strong opposition for what they stated as a "failure to solve existing problems before moving to a new concept." Members of the Middle School committee labored to explain that their recommendation had been based on their conclusions drawn from their research and visits, to school systems that have adopted the middle school concept, and they felt that pro blems of dropouts, truan cy, low achievement , and discipline would eventual ly be eliminated. "The middle school will f allow problems expressed here to be better address ed. We are losing children i and we hope we can ad dress some of these pro blems before they become insurmountable, " said Mrs. Harriet Wright, a teacher at . Fayetteville ' Street Elementary School ; and a; member of the thirteen-member commit tee that recommended1 the middle school. - One parent expressed concern over the state ment, "that teachers in the middle school would be more sensitive to the needs of 10-14 year olds." ( He wanted to know whether this implied that I present teacliers are now insensitive to students' needs. "In our opinion, 10-14 year olds need more care than they are now getting, and we feel that a middle I school will be structured : so as to provide that eve," said , A.J.H. Cle ment, chairman of the Middle School Committee. I Clement also said that' I in the Fayetteville, N.C;, 'and the Richmond, Ya, School systems, two schools systems that, are similar to the Durham Ci ty School System in ethnic composition and socio economic levels that have changed to middle schools, the principals report that achievement levels have improved and that discipline and truancy problems have decreased, although these principals say that they are not ready t to attribute the results to the implementation of the middle school concept. - The durham City Board of Education will study the middle school report during the month of June and it will make its recom mendation in July. The Durham City School Curriculum Com mittee "-will also hold discussions on its recom mendations on June 8 and 29. These meetings will be held at the Fuller School Administration Building and are open to the public.
