The Coach's Corner By Ken Johnson 1993 WISHES NOT A PIPE DREAM 1 "Forget about the Sat Scores and concentrate on why the 601 drop outs in Robeson County Schools." No. 1. Their needs are not being met. No. 2 Their interests are not being met. No. 3. Their ability to comprehend is not being met. Diagnostic tests are needed to determine each individual's needs, interests and his ability to compre hend. The next thing needed is the wisdom to provide industrial arts starting in the junior high school and continuing all through high school. Include home making, plus family raising responsibilities, music, physical education. This means vocational education should be at each school and not just a single unit as at Dark Branch. It will take millions to teach these needs, interests and ability to comprehend but business should help after all these students are their future. The philosophy is the practical imperative but economics should not deter the long range objective of preventing the 600 drop out rate. The only way is to adopt the "education is Tor all and not the select few"' as the barrage on education is doing. Sat scores don't mean a thing for the kids that need a job. So my 1992 wish is for the Sat scores to be eliminated and to meet the interests, needs and ability of all U.S. students not just the select few, brainy students. And take care of the health, ethical character through sports for all, vocational efficiency, social efficiency and citizenship. To eliminate the poverty cycle vocational education shoudl be the top priority, not Sat scores.
