Of die students chosen, those of British and Irish descent said they had never encountered any racial oppression. Those who said they had experienced experienced discrimination reported that most of it had occurred in primary school. These comments were mostly mostly rendered by minority groups. When asked if the students would feel uncomfortable in a majority majority white school, some students said they would feel uncomfortable in a mixed school because you have to watch what you say and do so that you don't offend anyone.

No. 2, Bowmanville © with Elizabeth Belanger-Linkleiter CTC Bahamas There is a lot to be said for quick, short getaways. The choices choices from this part of the country arc few as you do not want to spend half of your holiday getting getting to the destination. For this reason I chose the Bahamas for a long weekend, the weather was guaranteed to be in the 20s when the temperatures in our part of the world were hitting hitting record lows. I wasn't disappointed cither. The weather was warm and balmy balmy and because we left early in the morning we were sitting on the fine white sandy beach before lunch. Nassau is an excellent destination destination for a quick getaway for just a few days. You can lounge on the beach or if you are more energetic, take a jet ski out on the clear turquoise water. If you want to rise above it all, there is parasailing from a raft and you don't even get wet. The casino seemed to be a very popular place -- I however love to go to the shops, they range from the typical souvenir shops to the more upscale clothing clothing and jewellery shops. The most interesting is bartering at the local straw market. There arc numerous choices for short day trips to dive or just spend a relaxing day on a secluded secluded island.
