OUR READERS WRITE Appreciate Mr Drijbers position now August Mr Drifters statement under Our Readers Write in last weeks paper will be very much appreciated by Canadians who were indeed confused by contradictory reports Up to this point I was forming an unfair opinion of Mr position He now comes through with considerably restrained tolerance and I for one familys tragedy Having said this I feel obliged to add a comment In the interests of the black African point of view Most of us very quickly blame the Zombian authorities but forget that the Zambezi is a sensitive area Over the post years several civilians have been killed in this area on both sides of the river White and South Africans must shoulder their share of the res ponsibility for such tragedies when they permit tourists to become targets of hale When men everywhere each other as brothers regardless of colour and creed there will be an end to this kind of senseless killing Comfort Free Press editorial is circulating August Acton Free Press Ac Ion Ontario Dear Sir Though it seems rather late to say so thank you for your editorial of June 13 prohibiting low and middleIncome people from living in this part of the country You refer to municipal building regula tions which restrict size of house In this township of Chlnguacousy the minimum size Is square feet You imply that this sort of restriction Is undemocratic You also say that such unjust regulations help to create a class society The end result will be a rural aristocracy not unlike what we have in Britain the country squire on his domain with the serfs huddled In their ill- ages in long rows of town houses Your editorial was brought to the atten tion of our reee and council and for warded to the Brampton Dally Times who reprinted it Incidentally our municipal council is unimpressed and seem con vinced that bigger is better they are still operating under the old growth ethic The Banner also reprinted Yours truly Hansen RR Norval Ontario lKO Tom disputes statements of director lite Editor Dear Sir Kindly permit me to state a few ideas and made while 1 was reviewing In reporters the two years in office as president of the Secondary School ft Teachers Federation In at the end ft June and in response comments ft made at the Board of Education meeting on ft July First I want to make a correction due to an error in the statement issued to your reporter The statement more than 1000 with or more students should ft have read more than 100 classes with 36 ft more more students and more than LOW classes with 30 or more students The ft source of this information is recorded In ft Board of Education Pact Sheet dated g December 8 My rflgreUtfliall con- ft for this error ft In reference to the flight teachers I did not refer to the present situation but the ft statement made was a future ft prognostication of the next two to three i because the newly passed boards ft policy on Staff Reorganization which will demote up to ten teachers who are heads in schools such as Nelson M Robinson 5 Georgetown and A The heads 6 who arc in the main specialists in their 5 fields will be replaced by the new chair ft man system who may or may not be specialists ft The Board was told on more than one ft occasion that thcteachcrs were in favour of reorganization but a vote of the ft teachers showed that percent of the teachers were opposed to the directors 6 scheme and in fact teachers filled the ft board room in protest on more than one ft ion when lie trustees were discussing staff reorganization and differentiated staffing After the passing of the stall ft reorganization and differentiated staffing ft stall morale sank to a new low level and I If know of two department heads who have gone In other Boards of Education since the ft passing of Ihc Boards policy on staff g reorganization 6 With the supply of teachers and the ft late passing April 1973 of the Boards ft policy on staff reorganization there was little teacher movement at the end of the current school year The future will ft probably tell a different story as good S experienced specialist teachers get ft demoted in Their choice will be tn look elsewhere when Ihe opportunity presents itself and in my opinion the Grace Bird scholarship winner bursaries go to two other girls students and parents will become the true losers With regard to paroprofcsslonals I now ask the trustees and the director to in the situation where one para profession a I was hired Trafalgar High School and that individual taught at the school Both the teachers of that school and the CW Q E Conditions Work for Quality Education Committee reported this fact I can recall both the principal and the superintendent of instruction acknowledged this fact when asked by the Federation about a para professional teaching at Trafalgar School I may point out that at Elgin High School instead of hiring the full teaching staff of 80 teachers based on 18 Pupil- Teacher only teachers were hired fewer loach were hired and the money used to paraprofesslonals The students had to be taught and the parents may well ask these questions Who taught the approximately 150 students Whose workload was increased What happened to the class sizes How did these conditions affect the students In the Interview and the statement issued at the end of June I pointed out that progress was made in oral areas during Ihc 19721973 school year and these received little attention in the press I felt a belter rapport was developed at the staff board meetings an Increased involvement in the educational and development leave plan two amicable salary settlements the ex change between the elementary and secondary panels for a period of time and Ihe participation In programme councils and professional development projects These are examples of positive progress in relations between teachers and the Board I would like to that this was a rev icw of my two years as president or District S S and some opinions as to the future In conclusion may I stale lhat Ihe Federations objectives have never been geared tn image building and economic or political expediencies but on the contrary to represent the teachers and to serve the best possible needs in education for the students in County I thank you in advance for printing this statement of clarification and
