21 THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH, N. C , WEEK ENDING SAT., AUGUST 1. l»7f> Educator Says “Parents Peeved At Poor Teaching ” GREENSBORO- Parents are going to become more and more upset about the fact that little learning Is taking place in the nation’s classrooms, predicted a noted educator last W ednes day night. “The public is upset to find o it that young people go all the vi; through high school, get a diploma, but can’t read,” said Dr. Leon M. Lesstnger summer lecturer at A&T State University. Presently serving as Calla way Professor of Education at Georgia State University, I.es singer said that sc! 00l systems are going to be held more and more to account for their activi ties. “It is the clear notion that someone will ask you to tell w'at you have done," lie said. lessinger said be believ es that there will be a shifting of * ,e focus from teaching to aiming, "We have been so concerned with teaching,'’ he said, "that we have forgotten what the whole point of the thing is.” In the growing demand for ac countability, Lessinger con tinued, "the important criterion will be results. It will Pc what can the student do°” Lessinger condemed many of the teaching practices found in the public schools. "Accounta bility suggests that in Ameri ca’s school rooms, there may be evidence of malpractice,” he said. He said that school systems a < going to have to invest more fun is in trying to come up with new effective teaching methods. "Businesses set aside large sums of money for risk capital,” he added. "Schools also need funds for the op portunity to bid i’oi results.” Lessinger also called for us ing new ways of assessing re sult s in the schools. "Ac countability cannot hook itself to only standarized testing,” he said. "We can assess re sults by conducting hearings such as Congress does.” Lessinger predicted that the new demand for accountabili ty may help solve the problems of student unrest and boredom in ihe schools. "Students want to learn,” he said, "and whatever else stu dent unrest is, boredom is one of its principal agents.” SANDE^^FORD rni , * . it _ /~7A GAL. 500 2-dr.
