Latchkey Children And School-Age Child Care. ERIC Digest. A 1985 study at the University of north carolina found latchkey experience but ADESTE, a SACC program which began at two parochial schools in West Los http://www.ericdigests.org/pre-9210/latchkey.htm
Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Urbana IL. Latchkey Children and School-Age Child Care. ERIC Digest. Concern about latchkey children has given rise to a wide array of child care programs. These programs are operated by public and private schools, child care agencies, YMCAs and YWCAs, and many other organizations. This digest offers an overview of these school-age child care (SACC) programs and the reasons for their growth. CHILDREN AT HOME ALONE A Louis Harris poll of American public school teachers conducted in the fall of 1987 found that 51% ranked "children being left on their own after school" as a significant factor affecting children's performance in school. This factor was cited more often than drugs, poverty, divorce, or any other by the teachers sampled. Parents were surveyed at the same time, and 59% agreed that "we leave our children alone too much after school hours." Subsequently, the National Association for Elementary School Principals (NAESP) queried its own members, and found that 37% of the sample believed that "children would perform better in school" if they weren't left unsupervised so long outside of school hours. These surveys reflect an emerging consensus which has been in the making over the past decade. Educators are only the latest, and perhaps the most influential, in a parade of civic and professional groups which have gone on record as opposing the growing phenomenon of latchkey children, and supporting the expansion of child care for school-age children. Even the nation's largest employer, the U.S. Army, has decreed that no child under age 12 should be left without supervision after school, and has plans to bring SACC to every Army post.
Extractions: Topic: Best Practices of teachers for Character Education I thought it would be nice to start a string of postings for teachers to share ideas about how they teach and model character for their students. All too often in our buildings we become isolated on our own islands and forget to share our ideas. Of course, sometimes our ideas aren't respected by our colleagues who think teaching character "is not my job." I teach social studies and have used various history situations for students to judge moral right and wrong in the decisions made people in history (i.e. Einstein and nuclear theory). I also use readings and discussions related to specific character traits. Hand-shakes at the door, a joke-a-day, goal setting and student created class rules are a few of the other things I do to help foster the development of character in the students in my classes. Does anyone else have practices they use in their classrooms that work and want to share? I know the more ideas I come across, the better I can be in my classroom for my students Scott Jones Teacher, Hazelwood West High School, Hazelwood, MO

Extractions: Children and youth in our country need basic resources (or Five Promises, as they are called by America's Promise) so they can succeed in life. The American Association of School Administrators (AASA), Communities In Schools (CIS) and America's Promise-The Alliance for Youth (AP) have jointly embraced a vision to help millions of young people succeed. These basic resources can best be delivered through dynamic community partnerships with schools! THE PARTNERSHIP In local school-community collaboration, these basic needs are expressed as: · An ongoing relationship with a caring adult; · a safe place during both school and non-school hours; · a healthy start and lifestyle; · a marketable skill; and · An opportunity to give back to his or her community through service. THE GOAL The strategic goal of the national collaboration among AASA, CIS and AP is to promote the identification, cultivation and success of local "Schools of Promise" because: Schools are where kids are and are known by name to caring adults Schools-public, private or parochial-are the very heart of every community

Extractions: October 2000 Mel's Comments Among the many challenges facing public education with which the federal government is attempting to assist local communities, special emphasis is being placed this year on two important initiatives. These initiatives are securing funding for 100,000 additional teachers to continue to reduce class size and securing funding to assist in building more classrooms and renovating aging and outdated schools. North Carolinas school enrollment increased by almost 22% over the last decade and class sizes are larger than ever. The inclusion of funding for 100,000 new teachers in this years budget would represent the second installment on a commitment made by this administration several years ago to reduce class size. From the 100,000 teachers funded in last years budget, North Carolina has received funding for 620 new teachers. We must continue these efforts and direct them at the most vulnerable children, those performing below grade level, because all the studies confirm that smaller classes translate into higher achievement.

Extractions: Education news from around the nation The school voucher battle will come to a head in two states this fall. In November, voters in California and Michigan will decide if their states will give money to parents who want to send their children to private or parochial schools. The campaign in California promises to be contentious and expensive. Redwood City venture capitalist Tim Draper is sponsoring the voucher ballot, Proposition 38, which would give a $4,000 voucher to parents to send their children to private schools. Draper says he will use personal funds to match donations raised by opponents, including California Gov. Gray Davis and every major school group in the state. Draper, who estimates campaign spending will reach $40 million, began running television commercials in July. One ad says Proposition 38 will give parents vouchers "so everyone can choose smaller, safer classrooms with no tax increase, to make every child's hopes and dreams come true." The opposition group, No on Prop. 38, said the plan would cost taxpayers nearly $3 billion to provide vouchers for the 700,000 students currently enrolled in private schools. They would be allowed to receive vouchers by 2004. "The dreams that the students in these ads talk about would become a nightmare because under Proposition 38 not all students would be encouraged to achieve their goals," said Inglewood school board member Tomasina Reed. "Voucher schools not parents would pick and choose which students attend their schools, leaving many kids behind."

Extractions: Asheville, North Carolina The Calvary Parochial School was established in Asheville, North Carolina, in 1884 by the Reverend Charles Bradford Dusenbury. He was a descendant of a Christian family who put high values on education and who sent him to the Presbyterian Parochial School in Lexington. There he came under the influence and instruction of the Reverend James A. Chresfield. Charles Dusenbury made an excellent record at the parochial school and through Chresfield's influence was enrolled in Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. He graduated with honors from both the college and seminary departments of this institution. His first pastorate was at New Bern, North Carolina, where he received valuable experience for the tasks which awaited him in Asheville. Dusenbury went to Asheville in 1881 at the insistence of the Committee of Missions for Freedmen to organize a Presbyterian church among Negroes. The way had been opened there for a Negro church and school work through efforts made by some of the white people who had maintained both a day and Sunday school. In 1884, three years after reaching Asheville, Dusenbury began the Calvary Parochial School and preached in the old Catholic Hill Church, while he and his family lived in cramped quarters in the back of the building. After a short lapse of time, however, a wooden church was built on Eagle Street. On the back of this lot was a small house where the Dusenburys lived with courage and self-sacrifice for several months. Later, however, a manse was built through the kindness of "a friend." (It was not always discreet to indicate openly a favorable disposition toward the Board's program. To prevent stirring up animosity, therefore, many valuable donations were made anonymously.)

Extractions: 26 August 2001 Jesse Helms, the personification of ignorance, has announced his retirement. According to the political pundits, Helms's retirement is one small step for man and one giant leap for North Carolina. This event is hardly the equivalent of walking on the moon. The ignorance Helms representsincluding racism, homophobia, and a twisted nationalism that supports right-wing foreign dictatorshipswill not be extinguished with the retirement of one man. That ignorance can only be swept away by more pervasive change in North Carolina and in our country. Like all of us, Helms is a product of his environment and genetics. He reinforced his belief system by immersing himself with like-minded individuals and by joining or attending institutions with a narrow worldview. Born in Monroe, North Carolina in 1921 he attended public schools, a local junior college and a college in Winston-Salem. Unlike most United States senators, he is not a lawyer. He does hold an honorary Doctor of Law degree from Bob Jones University, a school notorious for its reactionary politics. Helms's career combined banking, media, and politics. He served as Executive Director of the North Carolina Bankers Association and started in the media as an editor of a Raleigh newspaper before switching to radio as Director of News and Programs for the Tobacco Radio Network. He was active in local politics and served on the Raleigh City Council. He was an assistant to two United States Senators, both Democrats. The year the Republicans first nominated Dwight Eisenhower for president, Helms acted as a media consultant for Georgia Democratic Senator Richard Russell's presidential campaign. For over a decade leading up to his run for the Senate, Helms wrote and read editorials for over 200 newspapers and 70 radio stations. Despite the opportunities to open his mind, Helms kept his shut.

Extractions: [Access article in PDF] Roman Catholicism has historically played a minor role in the life of the Old North State. North Carolina's first known Catholic family dates only from 1775, the first parishes were not established until 1829, and on the eve of the Civil War the Catholic population totaled just six hundred. North Carolina was the last state in the nation to receive its own diocese, a development that occurred in 1924 with the establishment of the Diocese of Raleigh. As if to symbolize architecturally the status of Tar Heel Catholicism, Raleigh's Sacred Heart Cathedral is to this day the smallest Catholic cathedral in America. The seed of North Carolina Catholicism germinated slowly. While North Carolina had no permanent Catholic churches or clerical presence until well after the Revolutionary War, a few colonial Catholics lived in places like New Bern and Edenton. The most influential early Catholic was William Gaston, a lawyer from New Bern who was the first student to enroll in Georgetown University. Gaston became a defender of religious freedom when his appointment to the State Supreme Court, in spite of a state constitutional ban on...
