Cutbacks

you know how to do this

“I can’t figure it out either.”
“I guess I’ll have to wait and ask
Mr. Ahl after school.”
In the past years when students
had problems doing social studies,
English, science, or math
assignments they could go to the
IMC’s during study hall or be
permanently transferred to the IMC
for self-study or for assistance.
IMC’s are special classrooms
around the library designed for
students to get help on homework
problems from a teacher or aide or
for self-study. Make-up tests and
quizzes could also be taken in the
IMC instead of having to interrupt a
teacher’s class.
A cutback in the number of aides,
a change in teachers’ schedules, and
not enough classrooms caused the
IMC’s to close.
The Business and Industrial Arts
IMC’s were the only ones still in
use.
“The typing instructors and the
business department chairman
agreed that the business IMC should
remain open because of the amount
of typing students had to make up
outside of class. We told our classes
that the IMC would be open
provided that the students were
busy during the entire period. This
premise, coupled with intermittent
supervision by the teachers, kept
our IMC open,” said Joyce
Roeschke, typing and shorthand
instructor.
