THE REPORTER DISPATCH, WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., NOVEMBER 11, 1963 On Education Drastic Action Needed To Pull Up Low Grade By LESLIE J. NASON, ED. D. Get a low grade at ester? Then don't delay! Take immediate, drastic- and planned--action to raise that grade. There's nothing else to do, really, because you have made too heavy an investment in time and money in the course to quit.
Salvaging it will be worth any effort required. The key to success in such an effort is the care with which you plan the new effort. I'd like to pass on to you a plan that I. used successfully myself when I was a college student, and that should be useful also in junior high and high school. In the first place, you should realize you have a lot going for you.
You already know a great deal about the course--you have been studying it more or less for a couple of months--and you will never find it easier than now to get your knowledge organized. You should plan your attack from several angles. You must not only bolster up your knowledge of the course, and keep it on a higher level for the rest of the semester, but somehow you must convince the teacher that you know. This is important because he is the one who gives the grades! 3-Way Attack 1. First, set aside a weekend for the project.
and spend 10 or 20 hours on it. This should do wonders. Start at the beginning of the course and review it all. Strive for an overall view, for al better system of organizing your interview with the teacher. Ask knowledge, and a better way of him to explain the difficult remembering the detail.

Am I expected to punish my five- at home for misbehaving in school? He is only in kindergarten, but already he seems to be in trouble quite often. The children bring home tales of how he "hit" Jimmy and pushed him down" or "painted on Jane's dress instead of on the paper" and "the teacher, punished him." know if I should reprimand and punish! him, too. -Mrs.

The center is in a region of Appalachian Mountain hardwoods. It also includes a training center for foresters and a lumber demonstration facility, ment and I'm sure your son is no exception. Before on tales of the other children, I would suggest a conference with his teacher. Learn first-hand what his behavior problems really are, and then you both can decide how best to help him. It is probably mostly a problem in adjustment.
Q. Do many parents get called on to help their children study and prepare for exams as I do? My son always wants my assistance. It's always, "Test me to see if I know these verbs." "Ask me some questions on this chapter." "Check me on these problems," etc. Most of this studying could be done alone, and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing the right thing by always propping him up this way. Do you think he should be left on his own more? -Mrs.
A. Some youngsters need nothing more than to be left alone when preparing for an exam-perhaps just a few extra hours to study before going to bed. Others need and actively seek help. They want someone to talk to, to hold their book and reassure them that they really know their work.

When an invitation is addressed to Mr. and Mrs. and Family, does this mean every member of the family, including married sons and daughters? A.
An invitation reading "and Family" includes every member of the family living under the same roof. Married daughters and sons who live in their own houses are not included unless they are sent separate invitations. Q. Three months ago I started a new job and two of the girls invited me to go to lunch with them. I was delighted that they asked me to join them as I don't like to eat alone.
I have found these two girls to be great gossipers and I would rather not lunch with them anymore. The difficult part is that our whole department is supposed to go out at the same hour and these girls take my going with them for granted. Can you suggest a tactful way out of this situation? A. It would be very pointed to make this change suddenly. However, you might ask another friend outside the office to meet you for lunch once or twice a week and gradually get out of the habit of lunching with the girls in the office.
Or if this isn't possible, you could bring your lunch a couple of times a week and eat in the office, explaining to the girls that you are trying to save money. Q.
