changes will be made next year said tondrall instead the present system will be refined and improved any radical changes in future will be made after consultation with students as well as the teaching and administrative staffs he said i believe the students should be consulted before any sub stantial changes art made be cause they are the ones who wiu be affected the most said turhbult they should be given antop- portumty to express themselves first t think we should give the students and teachers time to catch their breaths he said in september oths embarks n its third year as a nongraded

dents and allows them to pro gress at their own speeds gone is the traditional fixed timetable instead students can choose subjects they are best fitted for and can take subjects at differ ent grade levels concurrently also in use at oths is a he explained the suspicion with which most- students view sweeping changes as basically a fear that changes made in their own school may not be made anywhere else in the province they fear they may be short changed unless they know through discussion with the staff what the change entails said turnbuh for instance if the method of student evaluation is changed at oths the students are go ing to wonder whether they will be accepted by universities which still cling to the tradit ional examination system host students just dont want to take chances with their fut ure any display of radicalism is usually superficial its ex pressed in hair or dress exams and he maintains they cannot be eliminated the evaluation of student progress and abilty la one of the weakest areas in education and very little study has bees dose on it its difficult v evaluate a student because if hard tei be objective and not distort any thing he explained

not telephon ed every time a student was absent although a warning not ice was sent when absences could no longer be tolerated daily attendance checks were not eliminated however i wont do away with them either as they are an important part of the educational system said turnbull r if students are supposed to be in school to learn something they must be present to learn it he said with the flexible timetable system however students wfh not be in the same class at the same time and attendance checks will be difficult some students naturally take advantage of this stuation nongraded
