Or, possibly, we quite legitimately question some action on the part of a teacher. It takes only a short while to discover that the lines of communication between _ teachersâ€"at . the secondary school levelâ€"and parents have worn very thin indeed. We are apt to end up either completely frustrated or as the newest members of that group known as "inâ€" terfering parents." A widely accepted belief would appear to be that parâ€" ents as a group are almost wholly uninterested in our educational system, This, I feel, is largely untrue. Actually, _ today â€" parents face a somewhat unique set of educational problems and often search in vain for satisâ€" factory solutions to them. So, conscientiously we try to assist them to meet changing and often someâ€" what vague requirementsâ€" aided (or hindered) by exâ€" treme pressure at school plus an _ almost _ overwhelming amount of homework. After two or three years of this routine all but the most sturdy souls among the parâ€" ents and students decide to throw in the sponge. For example, we are told emphatically that our chilâ€" dren will be at a great disâ€" advantage should they fail to complete grade 13. Perhaps we wonder aloud why grade 9 textbooks cost the student in Toronto $13 while we in Weston are comâ€" pelled to dole out $25. It‘s only human to wonder. The problems may vary from home to home but, most assuredly, problems do exist. & Why couldn‘t we, as parâ€" ents of students attending Weston Collegiate, get toâ€" gether and form an organizaâ€" tion to discusss our common problems? I venture to say that with pooled ideas not only parents but students and teachers as well would ultiâ€" mately benefit. These stuâ€" dents are not only our chilâ€" dren but also our responsiâ€" bility. Your recent editorial reâ€" garding the Tecnâ€"Town dances in North York junior high schools made a lot of sense. I agree with your point of unfair action in cancelling all dances at all schools beâ€" cause of a few. I said just that at the first meeting of the situation and _ voted against cancellation at all schools, I am sure you will agree that one of the most imâ€" portant _ topics _ presently under discussion is modern education. Much has been written, both pro and con, reâ€" garding our present system. Come on,fi)arents Let‘s organize! Sir Sir: ELECTION DAY IS MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1960. POLLS WILL BE OPEN FROM 10 O‘CLOCK A.M.

CADWALLADER, Mar. 1937 Weston Road CH 4â€"5991 The intentions of the board in this situation were sinâ€" cere. We had hoped that this difficulty could be corrected without any adverse pubâ€" licity to the Teenâ€"Town proâ€" gram. However, it certainiy did not work out that way. During the past â€" four months the board has been working with the recreation department to work out a final and complete agreeâ€" ment oif the after hours use of schools for recreational purposes. This agreement is almost finalized and covers such things as type of activiâ€" ties, types of organizations, supervision, type of accomâ€" modation available, times of use, issuance of permits, proâ€" cedure re damage, rental fees, summer playgrounds and cost of maintenance of school playgrounds. the original motion caused most of the trouble. The moâ€" tion said, in part, "The board suspend permits for this purpose in all junior high schools in the system pending a meeting to be arâ€" ranged among the township commissioner of parks and recreation, the business adâ€" ministrator, the superintenâ€" dent of secondary schools and the controller of plants and submission of report to the board." Most of the trustees, inâ€" cluding myself, felt that if the ~megting of officials proved satisfactory the dances would be allowed to continue uninterrupted. Our officials felt, however, that they could not reinstate the permits until they had reâ€" ported back to the board. Over the past few years I have been most pleased with the operation of the coâ€"operaâ€" tive program in the swimâ€" ming pools attached to North York high schools. This opâ€" eration has worked well and has served a real community need, a very real example of what can be done if we get down to brass tacks and really work together. These matters will come under the jurisdiction of the recreational department who I believe are best able to assess and | organize . the recreational program. We are attempting to effect this changeover with a minimum of inconvenience to all conâ€" cerned. I believe that the longâ€"range effects of this new setup will be a great improvement in recreation.
