20 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, March 18, 1965 ~ ANN LANDERS ~ One Easy Lesson On Causing Accident Dear Ann Landers: Please print this letter, not only for sake but for all teen-agers whe have this problem--and I'll bet there are millions, It is my mother. Whenever my mother is in the car and I am driving, she bugs me until I am ready to jump out of my skin. It's, "Watch out for those kids, Billy. You're awfully close to the car ahead, Billy! The fel- low behind you is going to pass you, Billy. You're driving too fast. Use those mirrors, Watch that light." I've been driving for two years and I never have had an accident, a ticket or even &@ warning. I am a much better driver than my mother and most of my friends are better drivers than their mothers, but we all get bugged just the same. I beg you to say something in your column about this, Ann Landers, but please be fair to US. Think back. to when you were a teen- ager--or did they have cars in those days--Flint Mich. Dear Flint: That last line is not likely to get me on your side, Kid. I will say something, however, in behalf of 'teen-agers who drive carefully and. have perfect safety records. You do deserve support. A yelling mother destroys the confidence of a teen-age driver. last | heard she was in a mental hospital, I have remarried and am happy now, but I don't feel I deserve to be happy because of what has happened to the rest of the original foursome, So please, Ann Landers, tell folks that the grass on the other side of the fence has just as many burrs and weeds as the grass on the home side, Maybe more,--A Retread Dear Tread; You told 'em, Dear Ann Landers: The prob- lem I am writing about is my brother's wife, She has a divine figure, huge eyes, a dimple in her chin and no brains, Their sons 8, 10, and 11 are terrors. She admits that they are .oo much for her, When they fight she locks herself in her room and turns on the radio to drown out the noise, Her con- tinuing threat is "wait until lyour father comes home. You'll get it." Their father travels and when he does come home he doesn't \feel like hitting the kids for something they did a week ago. He's a swell person, Ann, but he doesn't know what to do with his children either, Can you lhelp? --8. I. L. Dear S, I.

E., OSHAWA PH, 723-4811 CHILD GUIDANCE By GARRY MYERS, PhD From now till next June there may be a PTA Parents' Night at your school, All parents are urged to attend and many do go. 'They may visit the classrooms of their child or children, meet and talk to the teacher there and see samples of the chil- dren's written or other graphic work, some of it displayed on the walls, Naturally, the teacher dis- plays the best work done by her children, Sometimes there are several superior items by the same child, PROGRESS IS IMPORTANT Naturally, too, those parents who know or suppose their chil- dren do well, will be the more sure to be on hand, They will be eager to see and hear about their children's excellence. They will crowd close to the teacher to hear her glowing accounts; they may ask questions to bring forth more of such. Relatively few parents whose children have not been doing well at school will be present. and what they see and hear may depress them as they think of their own children. Will the day come when all parents will feel hopeful and comfortable in attendance on PTA Night? That day may come nearer when the display of chil- dren's work will emphasize -pro- gress rather than best achieve- ment. SAMPLES TELL A LOT Suppose the teacher early in the schoo! year, or even now, were to collect samples of work by all her children and date and file 'hem, Each sample would reveal the quality of spelling, neatness, penmanship, and con- tent of the child's work, Then I this teacher at various intervals of a week were to collect added samples of each child's graphic work, Suppose she were to display samples by those children who showed most improvement over Those who are, will stand back,| Parents'| Good Reading Ability Is A Must For Children a period of several months. Then it would be possible for some children who are very low in absolute achievement to earn display of their work, See how many more children would be stimulated to try harder, how many more of their parents would see hope and encourage: ment, WORK FOR AWARDS Several years ago 1 worked out a simple plan or device called "Improvement Awards." Accordingly the teacher care- fully observed all her children in respect to such simple mat- ters as neatness, dependability, thoughtfulness, cheerfulness, sharing, and friendliness, At the end of the week an award was posted for the child this teacher judgedto have showed greatest improvement in the trait under consideration.
