teachers have been justly abused The majority of people 1 talked to respected the principals judgement However they did feel that they were capable of resolving a controversial issue them selves with the principal without having to resort to public destructive criticism Mr Doig explained the effects of such publicity on lhe relationship between teachers and students We entrust the teachers with our children They practically mould our child and naturally they expect some criticism On one hand we ask the child to respect the teacher and yet we deride the teacher in public and still demand the child respect Its all very confusing for the child The poll which Mr Doig conducted only covered the parents who had children involved In the self analysis portrait I didnt think had the right to interfere with other parents with children In dif grades There are 33 parents associated in Mr Dolg sons class three of whom belong to the Concerned Parents group which were against the project One parent could not be reached and the remaining parents Mr Dolg visited personally The primary question In the poll Was Do you think the Concerned Parent group has the right to interfere with your child s lesson If you think they do not have this right sign Of the parents approached signed The second question was Did you object to the nature of the recent exercise set at Park School If you did not object please sign below Out of the 29 parents ap proached 24 signed The reason for the difference between the number of signatures in questions one and two Because people did object to the nature of the project However they felt equally strongly that no minority group should dictate what their child should learn explained Mr We should rely on discretion of the teacher and the principal whether a lesson is suitable for the class If teacher or principal deems the lesson suitable then we should respect their professional judgement Mr Dolgs opinion of the selfanalysis study was that It encouraged children to make a logical decision Children tend base their decisions on emotions leaving any logic aside If a special exercise could help a child look at a situation logically instead of emotionally then this exercise would be helpful Perhaps if people began thinking more logically and became less selfish there would be a betterment in our society commented Mr Dolg Mr reels that truly concerned parents help and guide their child home as much as possible It the responsibility of the parents to teach children social behaviour not the teachers Its too easy to shrug off this responsibility to a teacher The seeds of discipline should be sewn In the home Us easy to just say lets have stricter discipline Mr went on to express KINSMEN SUPER BONUS BINGO Wednesday April 23 PM PARADISE GARDENS 4

CENTRE his Ides on corporal punish merit In the schools If we allow corporal punishment In the schools then the teacher and principal must examine each situation carefully If a child behaves to the detriment of teacher In front of the whole class disrupting the class then some type of discipline should be carried out However a teacher may become too emotionally Involved in the issue so the principal should consider the Incident with a detached view In the end If a child goes to bed at night and cries because of a teachers misuse authority then we have plunged to the depths of humanity
