AIDS in schools tops NEA convention agenda in Los Angeles
The 125th NEA convention in Los Angeles opens with AIDS education as a key issue. Massachusetts educators push for integrating AIDS topics into public school curricula and distributing condoms in high schools. NEA plans a member briefing booklet on AIDS and an updated policy draft. A Gallup poll shows broad public support for education funding and teacher pay raises, while the Status of the American Public School Teacher 1986 survey notes teachers are older, more experienced, work nearly 49 hours weekly, and most now hold master's degrees.

Anxiety in math starts in classroom
College Station AP reports Texas A&M educator Clarence Dockweiler found math anxiety begins in elementary school and affects all ages, sexes, and backgrounds. He runs a four week summer clinic for grades 3-9 to diagnose and address math understanding, and notes parents and teachers can perpetuate fear. Females tend to avoid math but counselors are shifting attitudes toward math careers.
