Last Thursday Melody
Mumma and her friend,
Claudia Brandt, both jun-
iors at Donegal High School,
boarded a plane in Philadel-
phia that took them to
Frankfort, Germany. They
will stay in Germany visit-
ing Claudia’s great uncle’
and aunt until April 19.
While there they will im-
prove their conversational
German and learn more a-
bout German culture. Clau-
dia’s great uncle and aunt
have made plans for the
Donegal girls to get ac-
quainted with neighboring
German girls and to visit
the University of Frankfort
with a cousin of Claudia’s.
This spring Melody wrote
an essay in Mr. Joseph Si-
berski’s English class that
attracted the attention of
the Donegal High School ad-
ministration. The essay was
a review of some recent
articles in educational jour-
nals on the subject of the
open classroom.
The open classroom, in
which there is very little

presented by students of

as “A Mighty Fortress” and
“Great is thy Faithfulness.’
They will also sing several
much freedom for students
to learn in whatever ways
they like, has been very pop-
ular in the last decade a-
mong educational theorists.
But in the last few years,
it seems, the open class-
room has been given some
second looks that reveal
weaknesses in it as an edu-
cational method.
Melody’s essay points
out that in learning in
school many different meth-
ods can be successful in
teaching a subject. A meth-
od which removes teacher
control from students may
not really “free” the stu-
dent, but just allow the stu-
dent to be controlled by
his or her peers, “who have
no more experience or wis-
dom than he.”
Melody’s essay ends with
a plea for “system which
recognizes and stresses in-
dividual discipline, respect
for others’ rights, but never-
theless freedom to act at
will within one’s own
rights.”

trict conducts a census sur-
vey each year of all resi-
dents living within the

influence on property ass-
