walls on the of the school and the nature of I program sonic walls exist lor example a Is separated off from the room area as are music in some schools I would fur agree that the dc of am ding has advantages and disadvantages One v of a conventional dp building is that it is difficult thoujh not for hers to work operative It a group or team to present the curriculum their pupils Teachers principals and the other support people that And this brings mo Mr Ronald Chatten principal of School Is qualified to develop an He and Ills primary stall are working hard to do just that open part of their school I am not sure what the author of question has in mind when he refers to a belief In the osophy of that open concept school demands For Halton County I would that an open concept school ma kes it easier for a staff work cooperatively to plan and teach program that allows children to grow academically socially and physically at their own rate One of the problems facing today Is their reipon in the of the Hall Dennis Report Soma teachers Interpreted the Report mean that children should he allowed do their own thine ithout content direction and that leathers should no longer teach but advisor or counsellor THE OPEN CONCEPTS I t agree with the gen oral condemnation of the open schools in Coun ly nor with the criticism of in particular One of the staff life Hal ton County Board of Education recently presented to tho Board an assessment of pro Warn offered in five open con schools in the West Area This assessment was based on discussions with par pupils teachers and While It Is not possible to reproduce the report here it is fair to say that in genera children seem happier there ire fewer discipline problems better attendance at school greater use of library and res material greater cover age of skills of reading and pupil evaluation by more than one teacher From the point of view of a teacher in an open school working in a teaching team there is no question but that their work load has in creased They arc more highly motivated There Is a greater flow of ideas At same time however the pressures on teacher are greater when ho a member of a teaching group three or four who must teach and evaluate pupil pro gress program and teaching methods in very This approach to demands high degree of pro fessionalism I am that the and teachers of our open plan school believe that there skills in reading phi and mathematics that in the primary division must master Hopefully kills and concepts will ihroujli an approach to a content that more closely re fleets the interests and exper fences of children and through a use of teiching capabilities that is more effective and in an atmosphere tint Is freer and less rtstncld As far as is concer ned I would make two further comments Mr Chatten would be delighted to have inter citizens drop in to see the school and the program with him And last asked that an evaluation of this schools program the public be delavcd

interesting Last week Harry presented the Administrator a cheque of half of the Rotary Club This magnificent gift was presented at their annual Monday meeting The amount given is to reserved for the furnishing in the hospitals project to say this gift to ward the new expansion a wonderful one and certainly Isj appreciated by the Board And the mention of the word expansion we hit a raw nerve with the administrator hospital staff doctors and the directors We originally star plan an expansion In and so far we have not en been able to contemplate a starling date Through ex slo i of our architect i and the equal amount of shown by the Commission to give found ourselves in the target year of ig liht money situation until finally after many month negotiation with the Hospital Commission we ourselves told bluntly that we could not priced due to lack of fundi This is on both levels of and is an extremely happy situation with the town hiving already included us in long range forecasts and the county have gone even fur granting us the county grant of per bed for construction In the meinlime out hospital continues to suffer from did talk about QUA I crowding and at times of education only ergon area designed before do not think its use become greatly expand about high of due to the in If thay it becomes completely over gatting valua for thtlr crovdcd overworked This MR LAVENDER agree completely This valid criticism of our discussio I am also hearten the question Perhaps we hive another panel to talk together on quality of i I case if the author of this question wishes to pursue question of quality of cation personally I would be to chat with him I can he reached at I an area particularly that can only be brought up to with a largely expanded area as well as staff Vie had hoped to expand by some beds and shell in a third floor is part of this ex However the Commis in their wisdom or of it only allowed us beds This mind you in recent communication the OHSC states that we still get only 31 beds and this expected to last for five years Evidently one of their glaring errors in the survey taken if they ever took a serious one which the writer doubts has the area
