Bryant Is Retiring From School System From Page 1-A Bryant, whose wife, Anne, is a teacher at Central School, began his educational carer in 1947 after graduating from Wofford College. He served as one year as an acting principal in Duncan, S.C., and then moved to Gastonia. Bryant holds a Master’s Degree from Furman, a Prin- _cipal’s certificate from UNC- ‘Chapel Hill and an Education Specialist degree from Western Carolina. During his 35-year career in education, he said he has seen many changes—-some good, some bad-but overall he believes children in North Carolina are receiving the best education they’ve ever had. “We're doing more to meet the individual needs,” he said. “We’re identifying students’ strengths and weaknesses as ear- - ly as kindergarten and carrying the program all the way through the 12th grade. “Teachers are teaching smarter,” he went on. “They’re more perceptive in what a child needs to learn.” In many respects, Bryant said, Car, Bus Collide From Page 1-A Kings Mountain Police Depart- ment and Kings Mountain District Schools. The bus damage was estimated at $20,000, the car at $3,500 and the fence and lawn damage at the Neislers, $1,000. Eight students were transported to the hospital by the Kings Mountain Rescue Squad, and three others were taken after arriving at school. Several other students received minor scrapes and bruises, but did not require treatment. The most serious injury to a student was one believe to have a broken ankle or possible back injuries. The axle and front wheels of the bus were knocked complete- ly off, and both vehicles were listed as total losses by in- vestigating officers from the , Kings Mountain Police Depart- ment and Kings Mountain District Schools.

He pointed specifically to the reading program. “We went from the old Sally and Dick and Jane type reading to multiple adoptions,” he recall- ed, “and that was a mistake. It became confusion. At that time we. ‘had some studenic go through school that weren’t taught because we jumped from book to book. Now we've gone back to programs in which students are learning more.” Bryant ‘said state-mandated testing systems have helped the students and he feels the newly- adopted state personnel evalua- tion program, which he helped get on its feet, is good, if used in the right way. “It’ll be good if it is carried out with the motive of let’s improve those we’re evaluating.’ But if it’s purpose is to dismiss personnel, it’s no good.” Kings Mountain was one of 24 units in the state that ex- perimented with the program this year. All 143 units will in- itiate it next year. “The way we did it was very helpful,” Bryant said. “Our prin- cipals have grown a lot and our teachers have accepted it on the basis of ‘how well am I doing and how can I do better’.” Bryant said the biggest needs facing schools now are addi- tional personnel in the fourth through eighth grades and more guidance counselors for students who are facing problems because of broken marriages, drugs, etc. He said most teachers in grades four through eight are carrying class loads of up to 34 students, and have no aides. “They need help just as badly as the primary teachers,” Bryant said. Kings Mountain currently has only one guidance couselor on the junior high level and three at the high school. The system does not have a guidance counselor on the elementary level. “And,” said Bryant, “much of the counselor’s time is taken up with records and senior placements, and not with counseling. We could use four full-time counselors who do nothing but counsel students and parents.” Bryant said the system needs better cultural arts programs, and a greater differential in pay for science and math teachers “in order to compete for people.” The big reason the system can- not have the programs, he said, : is lack of funds. Looking back on his 35 years in education, Bryant said he leaves with mixed emotions. “But I've seen this coming for four or five years,” he said, “and this just seems like the right time to retire.” ingham and Mrs. Leo F.
