Futrell: Reagan study w WASHINGTON -- America's public schools aren't a "blackboard jungle," and the Reagan administration's proposed campaign on discipline and violence is based upon nine-year-old research, said Mary Futrell, president of the National Education Association (NEA), last week. "Trying to paint a picture that most schools have severe discipline or violence problems is a gross exaggeration," said Futrell. "The research the Reagan administration is using was done in 1975. Our research shows that discipline/violence problems have been j i: _:? -i- > - ucwiiuing uver me tast tnree or tour years." In 1979, more than 74 percent of teachers listed discipline problems as affecting their overall teaching efFire Prevention How to extinguisl By THOMAS FLYNN Syndicated Columnist Sharpen your pencils, gentle readers. It's time for a pop quiz. What do you do if your clothing catches fire? (Check one.) ( ) A. Run to the sink and throw cup after cup of water on myself. ( ) B. Run to the bathroom and step into the shower. ( ') C. Hope my will is properly written. Of course, the answer is (C). Because, if you catch fire and run off to look for water, you'll never live to find it. For one thing, fire burns upward. So by standing upright, you're allowing the fire to spread all over your body, right up to your face. This happens quickly -- with some fabrics, in seconds. Unless you're standing in the bathtub already, you can't possibly reach the water quickly enough. And by running, you'll fan the flames; all that air moving past you will just make the fire burn faster still. To deal with clothing fire, you want to minimize the air supply and reduce its spreading power at once -- and then put it out. Three little words describe the technique; STOP, DROP and ROLL. Here's how it works. STOP. Stop where you are. Don't go anywhere. Drop what you're doing, and.... O' I 1984 Should Meet .,J p X .. >?

In 1983, the figure was 45 percent. Futrell said teachers more than anyone else have been aware of the discipline problem and have taken the lead in launching programs to combat it. She traced the NEA's concern back to a 1977 national conference that spoke to the root causes of both violence and discipline problems in the nation's schools. "The 1983 Gallup Poll on the 'Public's Attitude Toward Public Schools' never mentions violence," Futrell said- "The poll does list discipline as the top public concern, but it also says that the root problem of discipline is in the home." i clothing fires DROP. Drop to the ground and lie flat, immediately, this gives the fire no place to go and limits the amount of your body it can attack. It also puts you in position to .... ROLL. Roll back and forth until the fire is out. That's it, after you stop, drop and roll, soak the burn in cool water to stop further tissue damage; remove clothing from the burned area (if clothing is stuck to the burn, cut away the rest of the clothing without disturbing the burn) cover the burn with a clean sheet or sterile dressing and seek medical attention. If someone else becomes seriously burned, follow these steps, have the victim lie down and keep warm, and call for aid at once. Now that you know about the stop, drop and roll procedure, don't keep it a secret. Teach your loved ones. A child of three can learn stop, drop and roll if it's taught as a game: have the child actually perform the technique often in frequent, short training sessions.
