Divorce—viewed from the ey

A divorce can be a very diffi

cult time ina young Person

life Wis atime of contusion
blame, pain and anger

Confusion about the cireum
stances that brought about the
Jivorce scenario, blame felt by or
given by all panies inyolved: pain
experienced as a result of custody
battles and endless grudge match
es, anger toward those
would cause such pain

It seems that most of us these
days have our own divorce hor
ror-stones to tell, and this in itself
is a Very sad thing. However, 1
am amazed that about 20 per cent
of my friends’ families have man
aged to achieve some form of
marital stability in this time of
turmoil and separation

I would like to extend my con
gratulations to those individuals
that have made it this far in a
long and very difficult trek, and
for those individuals who are just
starting out or will soon begin
their own trek: good luck

I don’t mean that as sarcasm, I
believe that everyone in this posi

who

tron could use all the luck they
can get

Divorce has not spoiled me for
marriage, but 1 know that 1 will
be much more conscious of all
variables in the marital equation
than my parents were. They mar
ried in a time of uncertainty in
their lives, resulting in a substan.
tial lack of stability. They
divorced when I was eleven.

Over six years have passed
since then, and both parents have
re-married. | believe both have
done a much better job this time
around in choosing suitable part
ners in life

1 often wonder what it would
have been like to have been with
both parents still at my present
age, but I know’I would not be
the “well-adjusted” young man I
am today, I would probably be
somewhat disturbed mentally
(this week's disclaimer: I don’t
ever Claim to be sane, however.)
and I would definitely not be the
same character I am today

Some may argue this would
not be an unwelcome change, but

mation? and What is your belief
about students and the way they
learn?

After bringing all the informa:
tion together, Kamann concluded
that: Parents use assessment to
consider the match between their
expectations for their child and
the child's achievement. They
would also use it as a check on
their perceptions of the “teacha
bility” of their child and to deter
mine directions based upon
feedback from assessments.

Teachers use assessments to
make informed decisions about
instructional practices and teach
ing, to manage student behavior

and to make decision about spe.
cific students or groups of stu
dents.

Students use assessments to
set personal goals based upon
prior achievements and assess.
ments. They use assessments to
determine the degree of control
they have by evaluating how
hard they works and the match
this has to the assessments of
their work.

Students also determine direc-
tions based upon feedback from
these assessments.

A complimentary copy of
Kamann's latest publication
“Think Sheets” was presented to
each participant following tne
