using art in the classroom. I paint murals for people in their
children's rooms or wherever they want one. Minter would be so
proud!")

Chris Mal Notes: |
This is what Mr. Minter wrote in Chrissie's
yearbook: "Why I am writing in your yearbook is beyond me. You
didn't like my class. You always gave me a hard time. You did very
little work and you never came to school. Otherwise I enjoyed having
you. Good luck in K-town. Don't forget all the great background I gave
you." |

Reading Eagle "Letters to the Editor": |
Teachers getting a bad reputation
Editor:
I have never seen better teachers than I do in the Reading School
District. We work harder than teachers in any other district in Berks
County.
We are getting a bad reputation due to No Child Left Behind (�Diplomas
in jeopardy for most RHS seniors,� Reading Eagle, March 29). We should
be holding our heads up with pride that we get through each day with a
full day of lessons being taught.
No Child Left Behind is making it harder for us to actually teach. We do
not have teachable moments anymore. If something isn�t in the lesson
plan, we do not dare go off on a tangent and teach to benefit the
students.
All of the testing and progress monitoring that we are doing takes too
much time away from actually teaching our students. School isn�t fun
anymore for students. They say, �Another test?�
Now No Child Left Behind wants to make us accountable for science as
well.
If we keep giving more and more tests, how will the students learn
anything other than how to take a test?

It's a Small World: |
When Chrissie was going to RACC, one of her
professors for Special Education was Bob Pettit's sister.
Chrissie has worked with Bob Schmitz's wife for the last two years (as
of 2005.) (By the way, speaking of Bob Schmitz, according to the
1984 yearbook, where everyone else listed the college they planned to
attend the following year, Bob listed that planned to become a "Supreme
Being.") |
From the
October 1984
Penn Post
New Students: CHRISTINE
CUNNIUS, from Central, feels Mt. Penn has better
teachers and nicer students. She likes the early
dismissal but wishes there was more free time. The
only complaint she has is that we have hardly any
dances. |
