Answer to Question 1

The school district set improved role-taking skills as a goal because of its concern with intervening early to help children become more skilled and successful socially. Mature role-takers have been found to enjoy more favorable status in their peer group. Research by Nelson and Aboud provides some clue as to one type of experience that fosters role-taking skill: equal-status contacts with peers, particularly friends, were found to lead to better appreciation of the point of view of others. Disagreements between friends tend to provide each child with the kind of information needed to appreciate conflicting points of view. In the classroom setting, some possible ways to foster equal-status interactions include opportunities to engage in playful activities and games, engage in cooperative learning tasks, work on the computer with a partner, plan the decorations or refreshments for a class party with a partner, or engage in discussions on values or other topics. Development of cognitive competence apparently can be nursed through social interactions, an unlikely source of education in social perspective-taking in the minds of most traditional educators.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
