Carman evidenced anger over the fact that someone had dared. .even obliquely--to challenge the sacred cowv of education. Well, if ever a sacred cow, needed to be challenged -- h ea d on--prior to it being led to a packinghouse floor, it is this sacred cow of the Ontario educational system. There is a shriîl need for the Ontario educational system - from kindergarten to univer- sity-- to be put under the microscope of informed public scruting to discover what ails, our school system. Christopher Columbus made a trip to a far off land in 1492. On that trip he didn't know where he was going and when he arrived he didn't knok where he was and when he returned to Spain, he didn't' know wher e he had, been -- and aill of this on other people's money. 1 This story to this writer illustrates the depth of con- fusion existing today in our Ontario educational system and further, illustrates the depth of taxpayer's confusion who wonder if they are getting value for their tax dollar. Parents are ýconfused. Stu- dents have been marching protesting something they know flot what. The teachers are in a state of semi-revoit over salaries and working conditions. T he system is very costly, obviously inefficient, wildly experimental and run by a iordly civil service. Lt is quite true- as Mr. Carman pointed out in bis letter that 1 only had a brief stint as a school trustee with the Northumberland and Dur- ham County Board. of Edu- cation. In review, I find out that a brief stint was enough for it would take a long lifetime of battiing for one critical person to make a dent in that s-ffiem. Mr. Carmnan in his letter described my experience per- fectly--it was a demoralizing èxperience. To mie this series of letters is quite humourous-- started out to justify the fact that a Regional Councilior's job'is a f ull time job requiring a full time saiary and here 1 am in a hassie with a man that 1I admire as' a conscientious citizen. In conclusion. Speaking of salaries. in view of the fact that Mr. Carman is chairman of the Teaching Staff Saiary Com- mittee for the Northumber- land and L)urham County Board of Education, in view of the fact, that the secondary schooi teachers of this Board are to the point of resigning en masse over the question of salaries --I1 firmly believe that Mr. Carman--at this time--is not the ideal person to be engaged in yet another dis- cussion about salaries-- the salaries for Regionai Council- lors.
