Bonisteel told the teachers that we have the knowledge and the opportunity to make -things better and -to create a caring society. All we lack, he said, is the will to do it. He said rather than training the students of the world around us and to teach the student to grow in wisdom so that he can change society rather than coping. He said the educational system should mold children into whole human beings by helping them to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. He said children today were . knowledgeable and aware and are not a generation of ignoramuses. . Bonisteel said there are cries for the good-old-days hut asked when were they. He pointed to one difference today to that of 30 or 40 years ago and that was a new form • of teacher, the mass media. The speaker said television had expanded children's boundaries. He did sgy precautions piust be taken so that' this new form of educa- tion 1 did' not become harmful. "Television has become a child's parent, teacher, babysitter and friend, all in onë," said Bonisteel. The average child watches television television five and a half hours a day which is more time than a ' child spends in school. It's his main day-to-day mental activity. activity. Bonisteel states it is now as important to teach children to watch as it is to read. He claims children should challenge television rather than having the child blithely accepting everything-they see on it. Television does present "an unreal world with unreal people" as often as not. The speaker said television commercials teach people that every problem can be solved in sixty seconds. He points out that television ctgrimercials start out with a . problem and has them solved within a sixty second period. The world is in the midst of a dangerous age, but affluence and self-indulgence promoted in much television programming programming "smooth over the danger", he said. Bonisteel said we must tell children there is a hurting, world outside and let them -hear the cries for social justice. Social injustice must be talked about rather than hidden,* he said. "The great tragedy of the (Second World War) holocaust was not that it happened happened but rather that people remained silent about it. Bonisteel felt geography cl&sses would be keyed in with current event when studying studying such areas as Chile, Northern Ireland or El Salvador. A history lesson could deal with the slayings of Steven Biko and other activities activities for justice in Africa. He said it is often claimed that children should not be taught such incidents as it would give them nightmares. /'Well, it's time more of us •had nightmares," he said. "We must not let our children forget there are other children in the world without enough food to get through the day or who live in fear of a sniper's bullet. If , we do, they will see the need to share what is needed in an imperfect and unbalanced world. * Philip Loucks, president president of the Orono District Credit Union speaks with Bill Gilbank a member of the Board of directors at the annual meeting of the Credit Union when the Union declared a ten percent percent dividend on member shares.
