Rural students get idea of life in "big city" Last week the Port Perry STAR carried some of the thoughts and ideas of four students from Waverly Public Schoolin Oshawa whohadspent a few days attending public school in Greenbank, and had lived with rural families as" part of an urban- rural student exchange programme, Whilethe Oshawa students were in Greenbank, a group of studentsfromthe Greenbank area were attending classes at Waverly, and-staying with families in Oshawa. Here is what four of them had to say about their experiences and expressions in the "big city." George Hill is 13, and in- grade 7, He says "Waverly school was really different, it seemed to be so much bigger. The outside play area was divided up into sections, but there was a real nice gym, The kids were friendly, and we had a lot in common talking about sports, school work and teachers, I'd never walked to school before, but I did in Oshawa, and we called -- on friends along the way. I think there is lots to do in the city, the Civic Auditorium swimming pool, and I watched the General prac- tice. I think I'd like to try city life for a while, just to see what it's like anyway." ELAINE FRASER Tom Hunter is 12 and in Grade 5. Tom says city kids don't have as much work to do. ""Theonlychore theydois take the garbage out to the sideof theroad. Atthe school I likedtheidea of four classesin oneroom. Youcanlisteninon what the other teachers are teachingif you want. Walking toschool was a new thing, but I didn't like having to walk home for lunch. And the family Istayed with never ate at the table, always in the front room. I played basket- ball, volleyball, and went bowling for the first time. There's lots to do, but I felt cooped up in the city, no ski-dooing in the fields, couldn'tshoot a gun. I guess I could have stayed about another two weeks, maybe." JANICE PARROTT GEORGE HILL Elaine Eraser is 12, and in grade 7. She says-*'the city is- nice to visit, but T wouldn't want to live there. The school was all right, but I found four classes in one room to be disturbing at times. The kids in Oshawa were not the same as us. They're used to being around lots of strangers, and don't seem nervous with people. Where I stayed in Oshawa the streets and the houses all looked -the same. It's easy to get lost, and the front and back yards are too small. In the city, you never --seem--to sit around - with nothing to do. We went to the shopping centre, and it is sure different from the general storein Greenbank. One thing I found is that in a lot of families both parents were working." TOM HUNTER Janice Parrott is 9 and in grade 4. "I wouldn't want to live in the city all the time, because there isn't much room to play anywhere. The Civic Auditorium pool was all right. I'd never been in one before, but there were so many people." The school seemed very noisy, and you could really get lost in the halls. I stayed with a Chinese family, and they were a little - ~ hard to "understand. We always had Chinese food for supper. One thing about the city, thekids sleepin longer. I havetocatchthe school bus at 8:00 a.m., but in Oshawa I didn't get' up for school until 8:30. We only had to walk half a block."
