North Carolina teachers aro
hemmed in by paperwork and oth
er non -i ns true ti onal duties, ha
rassed by classroom interrup
tions, and suffering from lack of
duty-free lunch period, but more
than 60% of them say that they
would still choose teaching if they
had it all to do over again.
The North Carolina Associa
tion of Educators (NCAE) says its
largest "Barriers to Educational
Excellence Survey," conducted
for the Association by POI, a
Chapel Hill polling firm, also
points the way to a number of
changes North Carolina should
make in its efforts to improve its
schools.
-This is ths second year we
have done ths Barriers' survey,"
said NCAE president Karen
Qarr, "and we think we have un
covered sons very real prospects
for improving our schools.”
She said the Association will
propose legislation in some cases
and in other cases will propose
that NCAE local units work with
local school boards to gain agree
ment on what needs to be done to
improve public education for the
benefit of children.
Qarr said the present survey
was baaed on telephone inter
views with a random sampling of
NCAE members across North
Carolina. A total of 413 telephone
ealle wore placed by FQI, and of
that 418 calle, 400 NCAE members
agreed to be interviewed for die
survey.
One of die key questions on the
survey asked teachers to estimate
how often job-related, non
instructkmal paperwork Inter
fered with teaching. Sixty seven
percent of the teachers said
"often," another 28% said
"sometimes." Only one percent
said "never."
"In essence, the answer to this
problem lies in making better use
of computers and putting mors
- - . -
clerical aldaa into the schools,*
■aid Oarr.
She noted that on a related ques
tion, teachers were asked which
paperwork activities at their
school were handled by comput
ers. Grades were on computer at
88% of the schools, teat scone at
81% but money records drew only
a 18% response, and lunch reports
got a dismal nine percent rating.
"The problem was even more
apparent when we looked at the
computer use in elementary
■choola,* said Oarr. She eaid 78%
of the grade 10-13 teachers eaid
grades wen handled by computer.
