Our economy's rapidly changing character with large industry remote from residential areas, surrounded by fences, and protected by security guards dues not permit youngsters . to see their parents or others at work. Many children's parentsare recipi-ents of public assistance checks, a situation which compounds the problem of teaching job-centered values. A Career Orientation Program Guide has been available as have curriculum guides in the K-6 Career Motivation Program and the 9-10 Career Exploration Program. We hope thatthe Career Orientation Curriculum Supplement will provide further direction.and help for teachers in individualizing the curriculum. 1 Martin W.
