Head Start Begins At Home ByCMrtesE.CoM Special TolM Port Remember that old myipg “a born genius?" Well, according to a University of Chicago prof east* Benjamin Bloom, that old theory Just doesn’t hold water. Professor Bloom, by the way, is the educator whose studies served as the basis for the creation of the Head Start Pro gram. Professor Bloom studied UO peo ple who had excelled in their fields, from the arts to the sciences. What He discovered was Hist ns wis reached the limits of learning a talent on his or her own. Families and teachers were crucial at every point along the way to excellence. First he speaks of the pivotal role played by a parent or parents, stressing not their educational ex pertise, but the values which they imparted to their children. It wasn’t so much whether a parent could help with difficult mathematical nro btems, but whether they nurt££ the child and encouraged to explore a variety of available opportunities, and whether they em phasized the self-confidence, hard work and self-discipline necessary to neip move tne child forward. SECOND in Importance waa the role of the school and here the study focUkes on the significance of that first teacher, stating, "The wrong teacher at the start can create chaoa and failure.” The key factor noted was love of learning: was the teacher excited, about (earning and dfaT'he or she transfer that excite ment and wonder to the students? ' But again, the role of the parent was crucial. For, the rraoarrhwi noted, the parents of those achievers whom they studied ensued that the teacher waa communicating this love of knowledge. The parents studied took pains to monitor their child’s first few lessons when jut starting school or when beginning a new activity. This didn't mean that a child's complaints that a teacher was "too hard’’ or “to strict'' meant an immediate raqaaat for a new teacher. It did mean, however, that if the child repeated^ complained of being bored or seemed unexcited by the clau generally, the parent took the time to Investigate the pro blem. It's true that It's difficult for a working parent to juggle the re sponsibilities of both work and home. However, the lesson learned ffom the study is that the success of your child doesn’t mean constantly taking time off from work to visit the school; it means taking the time at home to inculcate the values that will allow hhn or her to Achieve. f-1 Tenderloins > 'i fjjj (Tenderloin Steak. . .Lb. $4.99) - V . • • • • _ I ujiotuww t vjTOi* a rresh Dressed Cob«d Fryer Whole Steak Dromsrtcke Flounder .sl" .79*.99* 2 Iir.
