Major Conclusions Of The Western Hills High School Report
The Visiting Committee of the Cincinnati School Foundation finds many teachers cling to traditional methods. Department heads should boost teacher enthusiasm and student teachers need closer supervision. Overcrowding will worsen for four years. Counseling is adequate but study hall is largely wasted. Home room time is constructive but some class study time is unproductive. The curriculum should gain flexibility and room for experimentation.
