it is absolutely necessary lo have a repre sentative who can gain the respect and credibility of the entire Board She believes this end can best be served through a well informed common sense approach to the issues facing education today also feel hat as a con parent who has spent a great deal of time in the school I am able lo deal with the realities of the education system as it is right now I do not use year old traditions and apply them to the tion system today she said She also said she believes firmly in a high level of and core curriculum in the classroom but beyond that she feels it is futile to try to compare the oneroom school house to the classroom today If Mrs Sheldon is elected to the position of Trustee she mentions many varied issues that she would clearly deal with The twinning of four North Halton schools this year was to my mind a strike against the student in the classroom she stated The disadvantages of two schools being twinned or ad ministration purposes arc not balanced by the advantages She expressed the concerns of many ratepayers in eluding herself whenshesatd she is not proud of the fact that The Board of Education has the unenviable position of having a pupil teacher ratio well above the Provincial average while at the same time a below aver age cost per student This adds up to classroom sizes being too large for effective teaching she said She Is aware that the problem of large classroom sizes Is a complex one involving such factors as declining enrol teacher allotments funding practices etc but feels it is an area that she could contribute to construe lively Although she a generally positive overview of the system of corecur riculum wherein a return to the basics Is being tised there is one area of personal concern that she definitely would pursue The Language Arts curriculum does not specify that English grammar must be taught as a separate sub ject at the kindergarten to grade Q level and I feel this is a mistake she said OnPhyu Ed Mrs Sheldon says definitely not frill Her view is that education must teach the child academically and socially It Is proven that the fit child learns more easily and faster I am committed to ensuring that the students in are instructed in the best methods of keeping fit she said Mrs Sheldon brought up the subject of school and community identity She said the and schools have traditionally promoted a certain feeling of community identity and as a result both children and parents feel comfortable in their surroundings Community is something that cannot be taught or learned she said but is something that happens You must live here to understand it she says that as Wards 1 and Trustee she would do everything possible to see that our schools remain the focal point of our community taxpayer is already ex or and many families have been feeling the effects for some time She says that with this in mind the respon siblc Trustee must act as a funding watchdog in all areas of expenditures She Is also adamant that account ability to the taxpayer is a role the Trustee must play After all she said it the taxpayer children we arc educating and the tax payers dollars we are using to do it surely they have the right to know how It spent Reject addition addition of square The addition was sought feel lo an square j Vlymcn Brampton foot for a showroom and woodworking shop
