‘Let’s Work It Out ’ Attitude
Should Be Kept In Schools
By Kay Aronson
School Social Worker
Forsyth County Schools
‘Many childen are attending
regular school this week for the
first time.
Naturally there will be many
problems to come up with the
experience of meeting so many
new people and new situations.
Most parents will want to know
how they can help to make the
first school year easier and
more enjoyable for their first
grader.
When entering a new situa
tion everyone has a certain am
ount of fear about what will
happen. A common fear of yo
ung children is that they will
miss the bus or can’t find
mama’s car and will be left at
school with no way to get back
home.
Even though they are afraid
they won’t get home again,
the children usually find the
correct bus with the help of
teachers and principals. If a
child is left at the school, the
parent or relative is called to
come after the child or “some
how” the child gets home.
Some children are afraid of
the playground. This could be
because they are so use to pl
aying in their own backyard
with brothers and sisters. The
large playground with many st
range children just scares a

young child (which is under
standable).
Children on the playground
during recess or play period
always have an adult person to
supervise the activities. Acci
dents always happen wherever
children are (even at home).
Principals always make sure
that there is an adult to watch
them so tney won’t play too
rough or play dangerous games.
Parents could help by not let
ting them play rough at home.
In the beginning some ch
ildren will cry when mama
leaves them at school. Parents
should leave their children
even though they are crying
and it is hard for YOU to leave
them. Teachers say that when
mama leaves, the child will
become interested in what’s
going on in the classroom and
will quit crying. The sooner
mama leaves the quicker the
crying stops.
It is Important that your
child attend school every day.
In the first grade, your child
can miss so much new work in
one day that it is hard to catch
up on what is missed.
It makes your child feel dis
couraged and left out to be be
hind in school work. If it is
necessary to miss several days,
you should talk with your child’s
teacher (or send a note). You
should try to get the assign
ments from school so that your
child ca n follow what’s going
on at school. Please let your
teacher know why your child is
absent.
If parents feel good toward
the teacher, principal and
school the child will feel good
about going to school and will be
happy there. When parents start
complaining about what is ha
ppening at school then the child
doesn't want to go. If you dis
agree with the teacher and/or
principal talk with them and
straighten it out.
Don’t make your child dislike
school because you don’t agree
with some small part of what is ’
going on at school. You, your
self, may have had a bad exper
ience when you were in school
but there is no need to transfer
these feelings to your child. Try

When children have to take
money to school they are usually
afraid they will lose it. If par
ents will seal the money in an
envelope and write their child’s
name and the teacher’s name
on the outside of the envelope
it will help someone know where

New Index Salary Schedule
For Teachers Adopted By State
A new index salary schedule
for teachers was adopted by the
State Board of Education last
Thursday at their regular meet
ing. The new schedule is cal
culated from 0-20 years exper
ience instead of 0-14 as in the
past.
Jack Fokes, Macon County
School Superintendent and vice
chairman of the State Board’s
Salary Study Committee, ex
plained that the new index was
computed at a base salary of
$6,300 for a teacher holding a
T-4 certificate. If this teacher
has 20 years experience he will
receive $9,072. This means an
increment of 2.5 per cent of
his base salary for each year of
experience up to 14 years. From
14-20 years experience he re
ceives a 1.5 pe cent increase
of his base salary.
Each level of certification at
a given year of experience in
creases by 16 per cent the base
salary of the T-4 certificate.
For example, if a person hold
ing a T-4 certificate begins with
a base salary of $6,300, a per

OIL MAKES NEWS
IN GEORGIA
Take a good look at the newspaper you’re holding. Without oil, it
might not be there. ,
From the film in the press camera to the rollers in the presses—today’s
newspapers depend on products that come from oil. Even the ink comes
from oil.
To get a newspaper out takes a lot of energy too. And 75% of all our
energy comes from oil and natural gas (including 40% of our electricity).
But today, we're using these petroleum fuels faster than we are finding
them. That’s why America faces an Energy Gap.
We’re your local oil companies. Working to bridge the growing Energy
Gap. Because it shouldn't be news to anyone that a country that runs on
oil can't afford to run short.
