.Typical Tar Heel Teacher Works Loner Hours Spec: ni tc the Host Raleigh -· The typical Tar Heel Teacher has 11 years experience and works seven and a half hours a day at school without a lunch break, researcîrby the North Caro lina Association of Educators shows. Lloyd S Isaacs, executive secretary of the North Caro lina Association of Educators (NCAE) said the study illus trates some of the very real hazards of teaching : "No one ought to have to spend that long with children without a lunch break," he said. The typical teacher spends between four and 12 hours a week working on school tasks outside of the required school day, the study shows. The typical teacher holds a bache lori degree and has been back to college for more study since graduation. The extra study has been on the teacher's own personal time and money. A profile of the typical Teacher was drawn b;> a scien tific random-sample survey of all teachers in North Carolina. NCAE's research iiaff made the survey. The survey found the aver age age of teac+vjrs t<> ατ and the median age to be 34. More than half of all teachers - 62 percent - are under age 40 The average teacher has 11 years of experience and has been in the current school system for eight years. More than 83 percent of all teachers are teaching in their major iields. More than 90 percent of North Carolina's teachers expect to continue teaching in their current posi tions next year. Obviously this data indica tes that North Carolina is blessed with a teaching force of career professionals," Isaacs concluded. "It can no longer be said that teachers are just young women marking time while they catch a husband. Neither can it be said thai teachers are wives working for pin money or just to get out of the house." he added. "Teachers spend long hours after school working on school work Tea chers are every bil as professional <->s the physi cian who doesn't quit until the last patient is seen Teachers work right through lunch when they take the children to the cafeteria Almost every other occupation at least pro vides a duty-free lunch.'' he sa*W Th^urvey shows that 68.5 percent teachers^super vise children during their lunch perids Almost half - 43 percent -- have no free time during the school aay 10 pre pare future lesson plans, which means that has to be done after hours Fifty-two percent of all teachers are the major wage earners in their hniicphn|«js And 16 percent of all teachers find it necessary to hold second jobs during the school vear ïou (,an Voice Your Problems On Discrimination1' v^uitcua ut mctMfiiuuig County and surrounding areas will have an opportunity to voice their problems concern ing discriminations and other social grievances when the N.C.

Many viewpoints have been agreed upon and argued about on how solid the foundation of the competency test stands Is the test given to evaluate how capable a person is. of completing questions that are stated on how well he or she can perform educational skills, that has been taught throughout his school years in a few hours, or is it deter· mined to show what person or race of people, scores higher in the complexion of Inferio rity. to a given status" Some think that this type thing, that has arisen recent l.v. may be a threat to others, and to some an advantage to know whether or not. if they have really gotten the proper attention towards learning Shari Garnett. the daughter of Mrs I.illy Garnett and Jacob Hamilton of 2706 Roz· zells Kerry Rd . admits that the test is an easy one. and that it is very good for the students She says that it should be given in the eighth grade as well as the eleventh The Garnett family attends Greater Providence Baptist C hurch in where the beloved Rev Johnnie Wallace Jr Brenda Howze. a senior at M\ers Park High School, agrees thai the test should be given in Elementary and Junior High Schools as well as to eleventh graders She is the daughter of Virginia Howze. «ho resides at 430 Fair wood Ave The Howze family atlends. and are mem bers of the Kedoak Baptist Church All in all. the test and other concerns, that are associated with the school system, is a part of learning and participa tion I'rging yourself to be self reliant, self-sufficient and in control of everything you do. is a great remedy for your needs. Jessie Jackson, president of operation PUSH; People Uni ted to Save Humanity, stres sed thai "positive thinking, and self-motivation is the only resolution for progress " The opportunity, for a black per son. is great now to move' forward in today's society. Step right up, brothers and sisters!, and recognize this fact. Why should we stop in the middle of the struggle and nol carry our pride along the way? The high school students I've talked to this week seem to be of the opinion that "The passage is wide open and a future can be seen." Accordingly they, at least, the black students...are urg ing all students to look to wards that "straight and nar row path of a dre^m come true without doubtful thoughts and side views to throw us back into a downtrodden past " 1 would like to add that all students in the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System should remember that "noth ing from nothing leaves noth there is no desire to improve our efforts. Such thoughts as • I'm afraid to challenge the world" and It isn't worth the time or effort" only derives from ignorance The young black person doesn't have to challenge the world, lust life and his conscience When high school days are over, and the average person assumes the usual 9 to 5 in his daily work routine on the job, many may wonder if they are satisfied with the pay, or their actual job performance He, or she. could have done belter but they survive on what little their life offers, with only a diploma to verify that the 12 years required were comple ted To have high hopes of advancing beyond the average being and to succeed in a goal of becoming a doctor or law yer, and being the best in a chosen field without being afraid of competition or the competitor is very healthy, its neither far-fetched nor impos sible Education is the answer and problem solver Now is the time, for black people, to realize where we are . and which direction we are turning to for guidance It's just fine to acquire the essentials of learning, like reading, writing and arithmetic, but to develop these skills and to use this knowledge in production, is a step forward Here's a loud clap for our "Outstanding Students!
