The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, December 2, 1997-7 ' OUR READERS WRITE • from OUR READER WRITE on page 6 tinue to provide stimulating and compre- hensive programming? Your recent comment that teachers who have taught the same subject or grade for years need less planning time proves to me that you do not understand. There is no way that a teacher can use the same mater- ial and teach information in the same way year after year. Society is continually changing and so too are the ways that students respond to leaming. It would be a very poor teacher who would do what you suggest is being done! I don't know anyone who does that. D.M. Segsworth Milton MPP forgets meeting Dear Editor: In a recent edition it is reported that Ted Chudleigh said no teacher groups have approached him in the last six months for a meeting. Mr. Chudleigh has a short memory. On June 13, several concerned teachers and parents met Mr. Chudleigh in his office about the erosion of quality in educational programs at provincial schools. Present at that meeting were two parents and three teachers. Jim Harrington and Cathy Cathbertson, teachers from E.C. Drury School for the Deaf, attended along with two parents, Joanne Goure from Cambridge and Judy Hutton of Mississauga. These interested parents are co-chairs of the School for the Deaf Advisory Board. I also attended, representing teachers from the Maplehurst Educational Centre. The meeting was only to address the declining quality of education in provin- cially run schools. This meeting was not about monetary issues. Perhaps that's why Mr. Chudleigh forgot. John Dundass Milton Drivers disrespectful Dear Editor: On Saturday, Nov. 22, we attended a funeral for a very dear friend of ours. While on route to the cemetery we were disgusted with two citizens of Milton. As we approached the intersection of Main and Commercial streets, a car (late model Buick) darted out in front of the van ahead of us and our car, almost causing an accident. This person, who gave us the finger, appeared to be in a huge rush to get to Carriage Square and had no respect for the funeral procession or the people that were in it. As we approached the intersection of Main and Ontario streets, a pick-up truck came out from a side street, stopped the funeral procession and let other cars make left tums. I cannot believe that people are in that much of a rush. I would also like to mention the respect the Town of Milton employees have. When we arrived at the intersection of Ontario and Main streets, a Town of Milton sander had stopped at the lights, letting the funeral procession pass without any further interruptions from the rudeness of the two Milton drivers. Later that day, we saw the man that drove the sander. His name is Murray Long. We thank you for your respect and common consideration for the loss of our special friend. Mike Luty, Diana Coulas Arthur, Ont. Red Lindsay, Charlie Draycoff Acton Beat wili be missed Dear Editor: I'm writing about a letter from Peter K. Burian, which was in the November 18 Champion regarding Colin Best. I felt that the comment about Colin was an insult. Just because his father was a mayor for Milton, doesn't mean that Colin thought he would he elected because of his father's name - as you can tell by the results that he wasn't elected. He was a very good councillor and a very hard worker. Anytime myself or my family needed something done or had a concer, he was right there helping my family. Colin will be missed. C.
