tru acton fr pntes wednesday march 12 1969 jffroc jjifcs youth fresh tracks by barbara mcintosh when i ttiii to think about school and students and teacher i find myself in a unique portion thi year essentially i ttill think from a itudent point of view i love loud fast muiic poetry that doesnt rhyme protett marches lost causes saturday and chantlnf rule just thi week i bought a pair of giant round purpleterued sunglaisei i avoid formal occasions reient parent crlticiini hate conformity loathe nanowmlndedneit and refute to believe that merely becaute a tystem exist it hat to be accepted yet thit year for the fiit time i filled out my income tax form by myself and realized that when the government announced 77 per cent of the ontario budget would go into education they were talking about my money suddenly thit year thou friendt who skipped clattet with me marched betide me for ttudent rep on the administration board swapped ettaya with me and helped me anonymouily cut up instructor in the tchool newspaper are now teacher ihemulvet when they ditcut itudenti there a certain fetr in their tired eye they complain of lack of respect and discipline in the classroom and invariably wear that if theyd known how much work wa involved they would have gone into something else i think i wai a idealistic and u intent on nuking over society at anyone when i wai a ttudent but looking back over essays i wrote they dont teem all that profound now in many cases my thinking wat naive and incomplete and in a few cases i wis dead wrong some will argue that the establishment la getting through to me and im falling into my little slot of mediocrity like all the other dead beats nevertheless i find that thit year i look on teachert with a more humanlttic attitude and students with a little leu undivided support word hat trickled through the jungle grapevine that there it a current move on in the high tchool for ttudent evaluation of teacher and itudent voice in choice of the curriculum i cant resist throwing in my opinions while it it true that students in the senior grade are beginning to tee tome light it it only a beginning penonslly i dont think they are capable of deciding what they should leant becaute the majority limply dont know what they want to do with their lives however i do concede that teachert should be open to itudent evaluation nothing it more frustrating for a itudent than a teacher who cant teach with a final exam looming on the horizon most poor teachert are intelligent people who could do with comprehentive courses in public speaking and public relations and they wont realize thit unlets they are told vet i shudder to think of school in which the ttudent throws more weight than the teacher for me the bett teachert were those who showed respect for our idea and a genuine interest in ut but at the tame time did not permit ut to treat them at equal we alwaya knew that they were there to teach and we were there to learn in my opinion much of the problem with teachert it incomplete training teachers college teem to ignore the communication aspect of teaching evaluation polls could do a great deal to fill thit gap at the same time teachers should not be nude to feel their career rests on the mercy of 35 prevotert students evaluate teachers by debbie winter i2b should students be allowed to evaluate their teacherst ttuj question is definitely disputable on one hand one may uy a definite no this person it not only narrowminded and bigoted he mutt assume that all ttudent are irresponsible of mmalurt some people mainly students will give an emphatic yet for an tntwr these are too broadminded they consider themselves mature and responsible which it often a tntscajcwtallort i believe that student should be allowed to evaluate their teachert with certain ttlpubtiorii to begin with all tudentt arent responsible enough thi irresponsibility reveals itself in ttudent riott resulting in damage and injury but llu majority tie if an election wat held every year in every secondary school in canada in which a responsible council wat elected to evaluate teachert and give any resulting evaluation to the board of education a great step would have been taken to further student democracy have you ever lieard of ttudent democracy probably not youve heard a lot about itudent power and yet you probably dont associate the two each school it in effect a small government system most schools have a student council suie a few itudenti get swelled heads if they gel elected and give be whole council a bad name but remember we elected them thats democracy acton high even hat a itudentttaff relations committee that is democracy too now comet the question whether or not we should be allowed to help choose our teachert we definitely should thit it a changing world itt about time the ttudentt of canada got tome teachers with individuality itt about time the mold producing assemblyline white collar and tie teachert wat broken studentt have open minds let ut choose religion or evolution communism or democracy give ut teachert who will guide ut not those who insist that we think like they do or who dont think at all to go one step further let the ttudentt have a hand in choosing what they are to be taught i think that by the time itudenti are in senior high school they are beginning lo develop ideas on what life it all about the itudenti of today are no longer willing to be told that one plut one equalt two theyre asking why and we need teachert who know the answers or at least try to answer our questions down with student power and up with ttudent democracy cwossa champs move on to ontario finals monday phil dopuis top somen in lift ueekt cwovsa ii basketball finals were phil dupuis 14

makeup are appropriate for office work she definitely doet not want to tee slacks silting behind her typewriters i think this is a very practical opinion considering the type of work we are training

toronto high park declared himself to be the ndp foster father of halton county before a houseful of conservative last wednesday night at the holiday inn oakvilic as guest at the second dinner meeting or hilton young progressive conservatives distinguished speaker series the evening proved to be a lively experiment in the democratic process with dr shulman blasting out against public health housing and justice and the crowd or some iso conservatives firing back an indignant defence basing his information largely on dippings from the oakville dally paper dr shulman concluded this county is unique because to many things are not right he condemned the lack of a psychiatric centre in the oakville hospital and the total absence of a counselling centre for young people who become involved with drugs he went on to criticize oakville for wasting 10 yean trying to establish low cost hoisting project this whole thing sounds like a tale of fiction he uid reading out headlines on proceedings over several months citing the last grand jury statement that there are only is public health nurses in halton with a need for 33 dr shulman declared that a lack of money was no defense if you want the staff you have lo pay them competitive wages he said he condemned oakville town council for refusing to give a s3 600 grant to oakvillet family service bureau last year to mike up their deficit knd dubbed county family couit facilities in milton as disgraceful you conservatives place priolties in the wrong place he said your interest should be with the people whits the cure money raise corporate taxes and cut back on highways he suggested the final blow came when he referred to justice in halton as peculiar and openly condemned provincial judge kenneth langdon for making up his own set of laws in court throughout his speech several in the audience found it impottible to rettrain themselves they interrupted and angrily accused dr shulman of basing his opinions on inaccurate newipaper clippings there have been no retractions quipped dry shulman former oakville solicitor john depew was among the most vocal hecklers youre just slandering everyone he itormetl- you dont know anything about anything in a thankyou speech of sorts ypc teny oconnor described dr shulmans remarks as witty urbane articulateand largely hogwash but above it all the five foot former toronto coroner displayed his seasoned ability to keep his cool hecklers always make a better meeting he commented dr shulman left the gathering with an honorary membership in halton ypct conditional on good behavior and a book on art autographed by halton east progressive conservative mp jim snow ypc leaders agreed that so far their speaker series has proven highly successful despite blasting out criticism from the senior organization former tory chief john diefenboker in particular last month liberal judy lanursh left her mark with a witty briticism of the conservative party halton ypc president bruce
