Planning session College Misericordia’s Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) will sponsor an ‘‘Awareness Day,” Wednesday, Nov. 14 at the Dallas campus. The activities planned are designed to demonstrate ‘what it is like to be handicapped,” said Eileen Brennan, president of the CEC. The occasion is three-fold, includ- an open house for Misericordia’s “College For Living” program, and a special evening mass and awards ceremony for handicapped adults. During the information sharing session, CEC members will repli- cate handicapped conditions and attempt to eat lunch while restrained or blindfolded. The dem- onstration is to help college students to become aware that normal bodily functions are not ‘‘taken for granted’ by the handicapped, noted Dr. Joseph Rogan, chairperson of Misericordia’s Division of Profes- sional Studies. : The three-year old ‘College for Living’’ program provides aca- demic and leisure time activities for handicapped adults and is furnished by a dozen Misericordia students.

Each student is responsible to parent an egg for one week. The egg is treated as a newborn baby and it must be fed and changed regularly. If an egg cracks the student receives an “F”’ because the child is considered dead. Some eggs may die from injuries inflicted by stu- dents other than its parents. This fate befell Debbie Murray’s child when Cathy Brady purged her thumb through the egg’s skull. The baby died as a result from brain damage. Eggs have also been kid- napped.

Suggestions to teachers Cooperation between parents and teachers is.an important factor in providing a well-round education for today’s youth. In the November issue of “PTA Today,” the National PTA’s magazine, parents discuss things they wish teachers would do to provide their children with good educational and personal growth experiences. The article is a follow-up to one in a past “PTA Today” in which teachers told what they would like to do. Among those responses were the suggestions that parents provide resources for reading and learning at home, set a good example, emphasize academics and support the school’s rules and goals, amon, others. Parents suggested teachers should do the following: — Benld children’s self ‘esteem. Give students positive feedback to encourage a good academic per- formance and good behavior, such as writing on a paper, ‘‘Shows great improvement,” or saying, ‘Good job.” — Get to know each child. Try to become aware of each child’s cul- tural differences, as well as chil- dren’s individual needs and learning styles. (It may be beneficial for teachers to try to recognize students with learning disabilities.) — Communicate often and openly with parents to prevent academic or behavioral problems from develop- ing. — Assign homework regularly. Homework reinforces a child’s good study habits. One reader suggested that teachers should require parents to sign completed homework assign- ments. : — Maintain high academic and behavioral standards. Teachers need to convey that every task should receive a child’s best effort. — Welcome and encourage parent .involvement. This could range from including parents as much as possi- ble in decisions relating to the child, to asking parents to be classroom volunteers. — Be active in and support PTA activities and or projects. According to one PTA council president, “It’s the combined efforts of parents and teachers that will make the differ- ence i nour children’s education.” — Provide enrichment activities. The more different ways a person looks at information, the easier it is to remember and understand. — Command respect for yourself, other children, and classroom visi- tors. By establishing and reenforc- ing behavior rules at the beginning of the school year, rebellion and disrespect in the classroom may be curbed: ®
