READERS FORUM Page THE HERALD April 10 IBM Students Given Moral Guidance Sir values and morality in education is an Important and serious one Our children and our students deserve the very best climate and program Tor moral and spiritual develop ment They need to be en couraged and assisted In their development of understanding insight responsibility and effective rich human relationships lfbestresultsare to be obtained the debate must be solidly based on reality Distortion dishonesty or misinformation whether In tended or not have noplace In a discussion about morality or about any other aspect of education Throughout this controversy Inaccurate information has been circulated about the Grade 12 health program In our school This program was developed and Initiated six years ago in response to the needs of adolescents and adults Since then it has been previewed at various conventions con tinuously re evaluated by students and staff and adjusted criticisms and ex pressed needs of about 1200 students and professional educators AIMS These are the published aims and objectives of the course which were discussed with the students at the outset of the program Aim To provide the student with an understanding of behavioural patters so that he she may become a worthwhile citizen capable of making in telligent decisions ready to accept responsibility and able to make a worthy contribution to society Objectives development of self awareness To foster the development of a Philosophy of Life To help establish standards of responsibility toward others and oneself 4 To indicate some of the responsibilities associated with adulthood To provide a course which is meaningful applicable and enjoyable to todays adolescent To develop an awareness of community resources To learn certain social physical emotional mental health problems and an understanding of such behavioural problems To provide a course in which the student has the opportunity to a participate in group in traction b take leadership of group c contribute group discussions by asking thought provoking questions ap preciate others views TOPICS A variety of topics were covered to enhance the un derstanding of human relationships Topics Included philosophy of life human sexuality family relationships family planning educational systems religious values and post graduate opportunities We believe that the vital In and enthusiastic par ticipation shown by our students is a strong indication of the value and need for this program This belief Is strongly substantiated by student evaluation The program Is consistent with ministry of education guidelines and Is very similar to such programmes In the other secondary schools in Hal ton County and many other places in Ontario We have had the voluntary assistance of many people from the community who bring with them their direct experience and knowledge and help make the program vital and credible These guest speakers included medical doctors social workers psychologists psychiatrists marriage counsellors clergymen parents and others They have without exception been honest responsible and informative There are areas of con and areas of sen In controversy we attempted to provide a balanced range of beliefs and convictions for understanding without bias or prejudice In areas of sensitivity we respected individual Terences As was discussed and agreed upon at the outset of the program all students realized that they could be absent or could leave al any lime if they were uncomfortable with the topic A mature approach to the course Is expected of the students who are all In Grade 12 unless special permission has been granted We welcome members of the public to visit the program and some parents have done so We cannot imagine such a course being taught except with constant concern and attention to the moral values required by our humanity Nor can we see such a course being taught in our time and place without sensitivity and respect for the differences of belief and con vidian that exist in our world the world in which our students live J Robinson High School NORTH HALTON CURLING NEWS bv Cynthia and Partridge The

like to express regret that the rock was thrown through Mr Campbells win It was a cowardly act of aggression against everyone in our community whoever signed the note Student has insulted us and our school Many us have been upset by the distorted criticism of our school recently but we have exercised restraint We have accepted the fact that Mr Campbell has the right to ex press his opinions both as a concerned parent and a tax Dover Student Council President Robinson High School Could Be Shortages If Resources Wasted Sir The public realizes that there is no shortage of oil products in Canada There could be If we wastefully use our resources in the future The oil companies admit there is no shortage and they boast about their tremendous increase in profits for which they pay little or nothing to the government in taxes So anyone In any position in government In Canada who has sided with the oil barons in their deter to still further fleece the consumers should be asked to resign their office at once This should apply also to all those involved in the Hydro fiasco Rather than any increase in price of either of these commodities there should be a roll back to 1971 prices for them I am surprised that with its criticisms of the high oil company profits did nothing to force a ro back in prices They had the chance but were too spineless This would seem to prove that they too are only politically minded and have no intention of forcing this issue They would not risk their skins to do this Wc hope the makes a good showing with the other invertebrates at the CNE display this year Regardless of how things go I fully believe that it cannot go on much longer and when the end comes it will be too late for any changes to be made He that is unjust let him be unjust still and he
