She said the report was going back to an era of "non- individualized classrooms and province-wide testing of students. The Radwanski report presented to the Provincial government last year called for drastic reforms to the public educational system and teachers felt they were faced with intense criticism, a criticism which they say is unjustified. Elaine Cline said teaching is not just a job, but rather a trust. "Let's be proud of that trust", she said. Cline said standarized testing breeds standardized children, and that's drastic, she said. She also said the role of the teacher has been continually expanding over the past 20 years in an effort to meet increasing increasing demands from society, parents and the children they teach.

When the Canadian Federation of Independent Business revealed the findings of their most recent study on the issue of serious labor shortages in this country, a handful handful of economists were quick--too quick--to respond. Whatever the problem problem was, some said, had to be the business business community's own fault. This assertion is, of course, ridiculous. ridiculous. The problem of finding qualified labor has been high on the list of small business concerns for several years now. CFIB's study found that 37 per cent of its 80,000-member firms would hire more employees if suitable labor was available. In other words, more than 100,000 jobs remain unoccupied within the small business community alone. The results of this study are by no means universally popular. One economist, economist, for example, was quoted as say- tres. It was stated that teachers are not opposed to educational change and that teachers of today have nothing to fear from accountability. Cline said there has been a shift in the thinking about the way children learn and that temperment, cultural background and exposure to television are, among the many contributing factors to a changing learning environment, , "We simply have to keep pace with society and the students, she said. She commented that teachers deal directly with the student in the classroom and thus have to cope with change. . The speaker complained of the crowded curriculum that continues to grow but nothing is ever taken away. "We have ■ values education, AIDS instructions, and we deal with suicide in the community', human rights and peace issues," she said, noting that it is by miracle that all aspects of instruction can be fitted fitted into one day. Cline said she believes that the present educational system is vastly improved over the one in which she grew up in, "It's far more dynamic because it reaches out to students. ,As a result, she said, there is more problem solving and reasoning. Cline said that much of the criticism that children are not receiving a good education arises from s the fact that many parents simply don't realize how much their children are learning in school. She said teachers and parents are more in partnership than ever before. She further stated that the educational system must reach out as much as possible to parents. She said co-operation sends a strong message to children that in fact ■ both parties care about the child. Despite the many changes, stated Cline, the teacher remains the vocal point of the educational system. Remember, even if you smoke and feel healthy, the sooner you stop, the better.
