the introduction of values education by Tom Wells itormer provincial education minister McBurney said You cant have values education without bringing in the question of religion he said Values education was seen by the ministry of education as substitute for the formal religious training that has been taken from the schools ALLOWSTEACHING The term values education allows for the teaching of cer tain values such as the im portance of respecting other people as part of public school program but without reference to specific religion That concept has been in corporated into programs such as the human relations curriculum being developed for Simcoe County says Dr Robert Thomas the Simcoe County Board of Educations superintendent of curriculum McBurney said the associa tion exists to promote the development of independent schools and is attempting as part of its program to alter the provinces method of funding education Independent schools are not eligible for assistance under terms of Ontarios Education Act We are arguing for diver sity of approaches to education If you go to public school you must accept its philosophy McBurney said We live in pluralistic society and the education system should reflect that Basic choices are not being of fered parents with the society unless they see an increase We have lost many foster homes and although were just barely replacing what we are losing our needs have increas ed he said The society is responsible for some 30 per cent more children now than it was two years ago Jackson said each of its 26 caseworkers is handling more children than they have time for 24 per cent budget increase would have allowed for the hir ing of 13 additional staff The most recent proposal would result in an increase of some 20 per cent and allow for an addi tional five workers If the increase is limited to 10 per cent as the province has proposed the budget would allow for hiring one additional staff member Any number would be relief over what we have now but the increase of one or two staff would have very little ef fect An increase of five would be noticed but to really do the job we need 13 Jackson said In proposing an increase of 10 per cent the ministry of com munity and social services has said salary bikes for existing staff should be kept to six per cent and that the per diem rats to foster homes be raised by 11 per cent The society has planned to in crease salaries by 85 per cent and raise the foster home ate by 32 per cent Should the province and the society not be able to reach agreement on the budget for 1979 the issue will go to review board which would make recommendation to the minister Keith Norton who has the final say During meeting Tuesday the societys board in strong ly worded otion to the province said it would not consider cut ting the increase in the 1979 budget beyond the 20 per cent Police boat tour Lorri Lowe Christine Murphy and Joanie Hiltz were lucky enough to be given tour of police
