520 _aAs a young psychologist, I left my position at the Children's Hospital, and subsequently at Juvenile Hall, feeling that most of my work was "too little, too late"; I was trying to solve problems that could have been prevented. So I became a school psychologist to work at the preventive rather than the remedial end of students' academic, social, and emotional growth. Certainly many of their problems were home-based, but educators had little control of that environment. At school, we had considerable control over five or six hours, about a third of a student's waking day. Surely, there were things we could do that might ameliorate, if not change, any undesirable effects from the other two-thirds of that day.
