Report says middle schools
too large and impersonal
WASHINGTON (AP) — Most
American middle schools are too
large jpd impersonal to meet
adolescents’ intellectual and emo-
tional needs, and the result for
many students may be a “life on
the edge of society,” according to a
new report
Middle grade schools could be a
strong positive influence on adoles-
cents as they face a world in which
they are tempted to experiment
with alcohol, sex and dregs, ac-
cording to the report by a task force
of the Carnegie Council on Adoles-
cent Development
Instead, "many large middle
grade schools function as mills that
contain and process endless streams
of students. Within them are masses
of anonymous youth,” said the
study. “Such settings virtually
^guarantee that the intellccdual and
emotional needs of yoptn will go
unmet” ■—..--—'
The report, tilled “Turning
Points: Preparing American Youth
for the 21st Century,” was released
Sunday on the first day of a three-
day meeting sponsored by the Car-
negie Cotp. of New York to focus
on ways to improve mid-level
schools.
Of the 28 million U.S. children
between ages 10 and 17, one-fourth
may face futures in “serious
jeopardy” because of the conse-
quences of school dropout, drug
use or early, unprotected sex, the

study said, citing research conduc-
ted for an upcoming book,
“Adolescents at Risk,” by Joy G.
Dryfoos. Another 7 million child-
ren may be at moderate risk, it said.
Students who drop out of school
or emerge semiliterate cannot com-
pete for jobs requiring literate,
technically trained workers.
“What is left for tlrese young
men and women is a life on the
edge of society,” the report said.
The study said middle schools
should be restructured on a “more
human scale” by:
—Creating smaller environments
for learning by dividing large
schools into “schools within
schools” where children know each
other and their teachers better.
—Teaching a core academic
program aimed at producing
students who are literate, under-
stand the sciences and have a sense
of health, ethics and citizenship.
—Eliminating use of “tracking”
students by achievement level,
which the report said essentially
dooms many children to failure.
—Giving teachers and ad-
ministrators more creative power,
and hiring teachers who specialize
in dealing with young adolescents.
—Involving parents and com-
munity leaders in the schools.
—Boosting students’ health and
fitness with more in-school pro-
grams and by helping those who
need public health care to get it.
Albert Shanker, president of the
American Federation of Teachers,
praised the report, saying it
“recognizes it is not too late to im-
prove the educational opportunities
of those students who are already in
school.”
National Education Association
President Mary Hatwood Futrell
said she agreed with the report’s
recommendations, “but the reality
is that we must lay the groundwork
for school success long before
these tumultuous years.”
“We must begin earlier than
grades six, seven or eight,” she
said. “We must prime our youngest
students for academic success.”

Lyme disease takes toll after bite from tick
Ann
Landers
75
v-
y
Dear Ann Landers: Have you
ever heard of Lyme disease? I am
writing this letter because I know
you can help thousands of people
by warning them about this awful
sickness. I have been battling it for
18 months. Frankly, l am not doing
too well.
It would be impossible for me to
describe the emotional and physical
pain that I have been through. I am
a 42-ycar-old man. married nearly
20 years, and have a family. The
days of slinging a 100-pound sack of
birdseed over my shoulder and
walking to the back yard are over.
Today I can't even lift a five-pound
sack of flour. There was a time
when I could play nine musical
instruments. I sang in the church
choir and ran my own small
business. Today, 1 do none of the
above. I am saving all my energy to
fight Lyme disease.
The treatment costs are stagger-
ing. IV antibiotic therapy runs
from SI50 to $475 a treatment. Add
to this the fees of a dozen or more
specialists. I have been seen by a
cardiologist, an ophthalmologist, a
rheumatologist, a dermatologist
and on and on. We have already
taken out a third mortgage on our
home. Had I been aware of the
symptoms from the beginning. I
could have had $15 worth of oral
antibiotics and that would have
done the job.
I am enclosing some literature
about this terrible disease and hope
that you will put it in language that
is suitable for your column. Thank
you, Ann, for allowing me to try to
help others. - S.J.N., MATTITUCK,
N.Y.
DEAR S.J.N.: I wrote about Lyme
disease last summer and was inun-
dated with letters from readers who
have been suffering with the symp-
toms. (Their doctors dkln t know
what they had ) Thank you for the
opportunity to write about it again
I'm praying for your recovery .
DEAR READERS: Lyme disease
is an insidious bacterial infection
caused by tiny ticks. These ticks are
about the size of a poppy seed. They
feed on people and animals, often
deer. Although pets do not transmit
the disease to humans, they can
carry the ticks into the home
These ticks have been identified
in 42 states, but are most often
found in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Rhode Island and
Wisconsin.
How does one avoid Lyme dis-
ease? By avoiding wooded areas
whenever possible. If you do go
into the woods, wear long pants
and tuck your cuffs into yoyr socks.
Wear light-colored clothing so you
can spot ticks readily. Put repellent
on your clothing and get repellent
collars for your pets. When you
undress check your body for ticks.
catky®
If you find them, remove carefully
with tweezers.
Symptoms: A rash or a ring-
shaped red spot like a bull s eye that
grows larger every day, plus flu-like
symptoms (fever, chills and head-
aches). a stiff neck and difficulty
concentrating. Two or three weeks
later there will be pain and swelling
of the joints. If not treated prompt-
ly. it can cause blindness, heart and
lung disease, and severe eye and
speech problems.
If you think you have been bitten
by a Lyme tick, call your doctor at
once. A blood test - taken two to
three weeks after the bite - will
determine yes or no. If your doctor
doesn't know what to do he or she
should contact the local board of
health for guidance. The earlier the
treatment the better chance the
patient has for full recovery .

prove your social skills? Write for
