Education For Retarded Child
Important In North Carolina
Quality education in North Car
olina means education for these i
children too. j
They are 'knocking at the door i
again this year. Chronologically <
their age is six, and the public <
schools must accept them. But r
their mental age is younger. 1
These are the retarded child- n
ren. The children with IQ’s from (
50 to 75. They are the lower twin ;
or three percent. i
There are 30,000 of them in
North Carolina.
They turn up every school year.
These are the children Who hold
the class back. Who grow rest
less, bored, aggressive; or con
trariwise, gix>w increasingly apa
thetic and give up forever the ef
fort to think.
In the past people have said
these children learn nothing in
regular school. Modem psycholo
gists know better.
They learn. They learn the tru
th albout themselves. That they
are inadequate. That they can’t
measure up. That they’ll never
make the grade.
They are easily led, easily flat
tered. They are as easily led into
delinquency and 'crime as in oth
er direction.
iBut if patiently 'handled — if
carefully and patiently taught in
seoarate classes — they learn lo,
le id quiet, useful, law-abiding, j
pioductive lives.
They Will never be doctors,:
lawyers, statesmen, educators.
They will never learn to think
abstractly. But, they will be a
: mong the many types of useful'
j citizens the State of North Oaro
1 lina needs.
i txmcateo, tney go into me ser
vice trades. They become shoe
makers, carpenters, janitors, do
i mestie servants, sales clerks. ;
In a civilization where every- i
body, wiho can, is grabbing for a
: college education, where everybo
dy is climbing up, these quiet
bottom-of-the-ladder workers
are increasingly in demand. We |
need them in North Carolina.
And under the protection of our
modern minimum wage laws
they are well paid. They too cani
have the satisfaction of feeling
successful. But only if they have
been taught. Only if their mental
abilities have been developed as
far as they Will go.
Educated, these children can
reach a sixth grade level of a
chievement. Their learning proc
esses are exactly similar to those
of normal children, 'but they
learn more slowly and they do
not progress as far. The six-year
old edueable retardates turning
up in our school system this fall,
will not be ready to learn to read
for another two or three years.
Ideally, these children Should
be assigned to pre-readiness cias
! ses until they are eight or nine.
Only then will they be ready to
start elementary reading.
This year there will be 300 of
these special classes throughout
the state. But Teachers for this
I typ of class have been hard to
I find.
“Up ito now, we've been caught
in a vicious circle,” says Paul A.
Peeples, who is consultant with
the North Carolina program for
educate retardates, Department
of Public Instruction at Raleigh.
Teachers for retarded children
must have special training. But
up to now there ihas been limited
emphasis on the retarded chlild in
North Carolina. Consequently
our teachers have not gone in for
this .type of training. It is pri
marily through lack of applicants
that the programs for the speci
al training of these teachers have
been curtailed both at Woman’s
College and to Chapel Hill.
There are excellent summer
programs at East Carolina col
lege, at Western Carolina college,
and at North Carolina college in
Durham,” Mr. Peepels adds.
Once the teachers of North Car
olina are assured that the state
is 'behind this program that the
classes, the jobs and the salaries
wall be there, we an the Education
for Exceptional Children section
of the State Department of Pub
lic Instruction in Raleigh are
quite confident that the schools
of education throughout .the state
will offer a greater numlber ol
