And Mathematics

During the summer of 1957, it was my privilege to receive a grant from the National Science Foundation enabling me to attend an institute for thirty-five teachers of junior high school mathematics. This session, sponsored by State University Teachers College at Oneonta, New York, was one of about ninety such institutes held throughout our country during this summer in an effort to strengthen and advance science and mathematics teaching in the secondary schools of the United States.

Students in a New York City inner city junior high school were surveyed in 1976. They were asked their attitudes toward their neighborhood, the type of people youngsters their age esteem, and in which leisure-time activities they participate. A strong relationship was found to exist between these factors and the degree the youths were involved in substance (drug and alcohol) use. The youths' substance use reflects the manner in which they relate to their environment, rather than a sense of alienation. The findings imply that substance abuse prevention programs will be enhanced by a focus on life-style commitment, rather than such things as drug use per se.

"What kids want to hear from their parents" is the first statement on the cover of this new paperback. It might more appropriately read, "What kids should hear from their parents." This is a well-written pocket manual in Spockian style. The language may appeal to the junior high school-educated parent readers, but, by the same token, breeziness may appear as an oversimplistic approach to child rearing to the senior high school or college-educated parent readers.
