Children Need Special Programs
The headline in the March 12 paper loomed out: “Laguna Preparing Layoff Notices for Teachers.”
In the article it states they may cancel many of the special programs, i.e., music, drama, science and technology classes.
Not all children find algebra, math, history, etc., that fascinating; most children do find art and music stimulating enough to keep them in school.
In our society today, all one has to do is pick up a paper or turn on the television news and witness a killing, bombing in our schools.
Boredom and disinterest in our little minds often lead to horrible destruction--even in our schools. We really need these special classes to stimulate their interests in finer things--who knows but what another great Domingo will someday emerge!
