Board Discusses Curriculum Trustees Regret Signg Away From Core Educaional Subjects% Teachers fresh out of teach- ers' coliege should not begin their careers at the critical primary grades of kindergar- ten 'to Grade Four, Cobourg Board of Education trustee Dr. Ian Wilson said Thursday night in Cobourg. During a special mneetinýg of the curriculum committee that consists of, the- whole 16-trustee board, Dr.: Wilson said only seasoned teaçbers should teach at the primary levels, unless there are "ex- ceptionally good" teaching graduates available. "In kindergarten to Grade Four, the pupils are at the age wbere, they are the most moidabie, at the age wbere fhey require the best environ- ment f0 iearn in, specîfically the best teachers," Dr. Wilson said. He added that the kinder-, garten to Grade Four years are the years whecre the basic skills should be instilled in the pupils and clld ora erai amliount of discipline in] the Sst emr. Dr. Wilson also suggested that briefs be invited fromn parents and other conceýrned citizens giving their ideas, suggestions and 'aspirations for the education system. H1e supported the idea of sehool commîttees giving the general public an opporfunity to meet wijth teachers f0 discuss areas of concern and give the te(achers a chance to rebutt any compiaints the parents mat have about a particular schooi. *DON'T MEETl" D.Wilson nofed that some schooi committees in opera- tion function weii, "but others neyer meet at ail, which means parents have no forum to bring up their concerns and have themn rebutted by the teachers." H1e noted thllat some com- plaints of parents are not vaiid, because they don't understand the eduicationai systemu, whiie other com-i plaints "are very valid." Concerning "open," con- cepts of eduication, like the 1151 schooi credit plan cur- rentiy operatîng in ail Ontario bigh schools. Dr. Wilson said open concept systems have not been proven to be better than a more structured and rigid systemn. "We should neer -have (,open systems unless xvwe can have a parallel closed systeinm:wi the mobility- for studients to miove back and forth," he said. Dr. Wilson also calied for a pupil limit of 25 in primary grades, more careful stream- ing of students into the hîgher eiementary grades and defin- ite core subjects. ý Inciuded with basic subjects such as English, maths, sci- ence, history and geography, Dr. Wilson asked that Cana- dian bist.ory, politics and consumnerismn made mandia- tory subjects. H1e said, students should have an understanding of the morality of politics, or "we're going f0, have our own Watergate." CORE SUBJECTS Al trustees attending the meeting voiced similar con- cerns. C. V. J ohnson, said he was a "great believer" in core subjects, and wanted more emphasis piaced on the orig- inal "three R's" of Reading, writînig and arîthmetic than on the current three R's of the ministry of education, "res- pect,' responsihilify. and re- source."I Trustee Ken Lyall said he'd heard requests for the teach- ing of German ,and French you don't know it.
