"The public will be shocked at the number of North Carolina students failing the compe tency test, but the failure to adequately fund our schools in the past is now bearing bitter fruit," the North Carolina Association of Educators said today. President C. Stewart Staf ford of NCAE said the group's Board of Directors grappled this past weekend with the competency test--which NCAE has endorsed-and with tnrthnrie of helping thn«P stud ents who fail the test. "What came through to me most clearly," said Stafford, "was the group's frustration that so many students will fail and that many of these fail ures could have been avoided had we been willing to pay the price for good schools." He said the NCAE Board was particularly concerned that the failure rate will be highest in those areas which do not have the local property value to supplement the state school program. "We know that children in our richer areas will fail the test, but we know also that the failure rate will be highest where the areas are poorest for that is where students have not been exposed to the broad curriculum they need in order to pass this test," Stafford said. Stafford said that, on the average, the strongest teach ers are also to foe found in the richer areas which can afford to pay a salary supplement. "We get outstanding teach ers in all areas, but it is only .normal that more of thé top' teachers migrate lo in ose sys tems which pay supplements. We have more master s de gree teachers in the richer systems. It's that simple," he said. Stafford said NCAE is pleased that Dr. Craig Phillips has asked that competency test scores not be released until after the Christmas holi days. He said NCAE had feared that many students, confronted with a failure on the test, would not return to school after Christmas. "If they are back in school and then learn that thev have not passed the test, we will at least have an opportunity to do some counseling," "Stafford said. He added that NCAE's Board is in thorough agree -meat that the competency test will result in an increase in the drop-out rate," and he said that the state must deal now with that problem. "The kids still exist, whetn er they fail the competency test or not. They are still part of our society. I'm afraid mony people have the mis taken impression that the competency test will automat ically solve our problems. Y-Teens Y-Teens are now forming for girls 12 thru 17.
