DENMON Staff Writer Some parents of Dallas Middle School students are upset that . their children are spending an inordinate amount of time in study halls this year. The school’s ad- ministrators think the problem has been overstated, while the president of the teachers’ union says staff cutbacks have contrib- uted to the increase in free time. Mrs. Michael Mallick of Dallas asked the Dallas School Board at the Sept. 9 meeting why her sixth grade son Nick had so many study halls. “He has back to back study halls every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and a total of eight study halls each week. I never heard of so many study halls. My son doesn’t mind it. He likes it al- though he came home last Friday and said it was boring. Nick is a good student and he does his homework in the study halls butlI never see what he has done be- cause he doesn’t bring it home,” Mallick said. “His classes are over at 1:16 p.m. those three days and school isn't over until 2:49 p.m. Why not send him home?” she asked. Middle School principal Gilbert Griffiths says that fewer home economics classes and the drop- ping of intramural classes have created additional free time. Grif- fiths said the intramural classes were dropped because the sixth grade teachers did not feel they were beneficial. He also said the “administration was in the process of working out a schedule to re- duce the number of study halls. Griffiths said he urged students to participate in more activity classes and that the administra- tion was working on adding a tutorial class which would reduce the number of study halls. “We still have activities,” Grif- fiths explained. “We have chorus, band, newspaper, audio-visual, SADD, student council and vari- ous clubs. We have put out a flyer for the teachers to volunteer for activities such as hunter safety and miniature railroads.” But Griffiths says a part of the problem is low participation by students. “The: problem. with the sixth grade students is thatonly a hand- ful of them take part. Last year only about 20% of the sixth grade students participated in activites during the last period so we de- cided to incorporate that period with the study halls. “If the students wanted to be- come involved in band, chorus or one of the other activities that was their option. If not, they could use the time for homework, or for help from the teachers if they so de- sired,” Griffiths said. “The labeling as study halls is probably what has been disturb- ing. Perhaps we should have left them as they were. As it is, sixth grade this quarter has one full year of study, seventh, two additional Dallas, PA Wednesday, September 18, 1991 3 study periods and eighth one additional study period.” Griffiths says the first quarter of the year is more heavily weighted with study halls than the rest of the year. “The Mallick boy has eight peri- ods this quarter but the second quarter he will have home eco- nomics and practical arts which will eliminate most of these study halls. As I said, the last period is optional—the students may par- ticipate in activities or use the time for study.” Dallas Education Association President William Wagner dis- agrees. “Cutting programs and fur- loughing teachers has contributed to the increase in study halls in the district,” Wagner said. “You can't scheduleactivities if you don't have the teachers. I was surprised when I learned the intramural programs were dropped. “Idon’t believe the teachers were against the programs, but their team planning periods interfere with the scheduling of those periods. The only way to reduce the number : of study halls is to bring back the programs. Last year we had 43 study halls for sixth, seventh and eighth grade. This year there are 160 study halls among those three grades,” Wagner asserted. “Industrial Arts, woodshop, couk- ing and sewing each took up some of the classes last year. This year sixth grade has no sewing, no in- dustrial arts and no music therapy and there are no kinds of intramu- ral activities. Neither is there any seventh or eighth grade world geog- raphy,” Wagner said. : “When Mr. Stinson retired and Mr. Cicon moved up to the senior high school as athletic director, the district did not replace Cicon at the Middle School. Eight study halls each week is in general the norm this year. The Advanced Placement courses probably have the least study halls,” Wagner said. Gerald Wycallis, district super- intendent said that since graphic. arts, industrial arts and some home economics courses were dropped that increased the number of study halls for the first nine weeks. “Last year activity periods were three days each week and of our 600 student population only about 20 percent participated,” Wycallis said. “This year in addition to the band and chorus, Griffiths is work- ing out a possible tutoring class. He's the person who can explain to parents what is being done to cut Wyecallis con- down study halls,” cluded.
