4 14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 30, 1965 "ANN LANDERS" | Sadistic. Tendencies Should Be Curbed - Dear nn Landers: I am an unmarried woman in my 40s, An arthritic condition has kept me close to home these past few years. My major interest is col- lecting and dressing dolls. The 'youngsters in the neighborhood call me The Doll. Lady. I give my dolls to needy children. I also sell dolls to folks who.can afford to buy them. One boy in the neighborhood has a sadistic streak that is fightening. This lad has bought several dolls from me. His friends. confided that he stabs them with knives, punches out the eyes and burns the arms and legs with matches. I have refused to sell him any more dolls and I told his mother why. She invited me to mind my own business. (His parents in- dulge him to the point of idiocy) I'm afraid one day a child may suffer at his hands. Do you feel I should say something to the school authorities? I am not an interfering type, but I may re- gret it later if I don't do some- thing now. What do you say?-- K.T. H Dear K.T.: The boy needs to be examined by a specialist. By all means report this behavior to the school principal at once. and she has a right to want it to be perfect. Some children who are consid- ered "perfect little ladies and gentlemen" by their parents are holy terrors. They laugh (or cry) in the church, they are first in line at the sweet table and they can give the most elegant affair the flavor of a lodge pic- nic, ; Most people hate it when any- one criticizes their little dar- lings, but I agree with you, Ann. Children do not belong every place and if their parents don't know it, someone should tell them.--Another Meanie Dear Another: I appreciate your support. Some mothers wrote to say I was wrong and that they would rather stay home than go where their chil- dren are not welcome. To them I say, "Fine. Stay home. Every- one will be happier." THE STARS. SAY * By ESTRELLITA FOR TOMORROW | This day's planetary influ-| ences are similar to yesterday's,| with added stress on the value! Dear Ann Landers: My hus-| band has decided it is easier) and cheaper to ride the bus to) work than to take the car and) pay parking. So, for the first) time in 13 years of marriage, I) have a car at_my disposal. I was) thrilled until I got my orders:) The car can be used for one pur-} pose only--to drive the children to and from school. My husband says I may not use the car for errands, grocery marketing, visiting friends or family or doctor appointments. He says I should use a bus or taxi as in the past. In all fairness I must say he is a good husband and father. I've never had to worry about excessive drinking, gambling or other women, It's just this one subject he's a little nuts on. Thanks for any help you can! give me.--G.M.S. ~ Dear G.M.S.: Does your hus- band give any reason for his out-| rageous restrictions? Can he af-| ford gasoline? Does he worry) about using up the tires? Surely he isn't concerned about your Bbility to drive, or he wouldn't sallow you to chauffeur the chil- dren. A man who would deny his wife the pleasure and conveni- énce of the family car for no good reason is a tyrant. And you ¢an tell him I said so. . Dear Ann Landers: That let- ter signed "A Mother First, Last And Always' 'made me want to tpchuck. Why do some mothers get in- @ulted if their kids are not in- cluded in every invitation?

By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD We hear some parents com- plaining about the heavy load of homework. their children have, especially at the high school level. Some writers are echoing and amplifying such complaints and they seem to find some dramatic evidence on their side. Several decades ago there was such great resistance by some parents to homework for their children that a number of leading educationists great reduction or total aboli- tion of homework and they de- vised researches of the kind that lent convincing popular support, of their advice. Parents and) students liked it. | Then, with the emergence of| Sputnik I, there came a power-| ful wave of demands. by many educationists for higher stand- ards of achievement in our pub- lic schools. As a result, makers) of public school curricula began) to push up standards and in) self - defence many teachers piled on more homework, some} excessively perhaps. | With standards raised by col- leges, more and more teachers, especially in high school, came to stake their reputations on the number of their students who later won entrance to college and succeeded there. Always there have been some teachers of this type, the number varying from school to school, and the total number seems to be in- creasing. Even yet, however, we don't have many facts about the number of teachers who assign homework excessively and it's my guess that the number is not nearly so great as most parents suppose. Before you conclude that your child has excessive homework, you need to take stock of the facts in his case: Is he home practically every evening before a school day? jment and a series of "trial and|Does he go at his work promptly and stick to it faithfully? Does he have good habits of home study? Does he know how to study? Is he a good reader? Can he read his assignments effec-| tively? How many hours an' evening does he spend at con- certed effort? . When he begins his home- work, has he assembled his books, paper, pencil, notes on assignments, etc., or must he search for these things for half an hour or more? Must he tele- phone a classmate to know what the assignments are? During his study period, does he often find occasion to search for suct items? Does he often talk to a friend|} telephone or answer a m him? Does he often nack or drink of water, the toilet, sharpen his pencil, pause to pick up and read comics or turn on a TV program? If you add up all the time he spends on these diverting activi- ties, they may total far more} than the time he really studies. | Wishing him to have enough| sleep, you may command him to go to bed at 9,10 or 11 o'clock|]. and deliver an angry mono- logue about the awful amount of homework he has.
