_ Home and school ‘The other evening, I became involved in an interesting disâ€" cussion on the Home & School Association. The chap to whom I was talking had at one time been very active in the organization. As a teacher, and a parent, he felt that open lines of communiâ€" cation between the teacher and parent were very: desirable; and, at that time, he had felt that the Home & School could help to this end. SECOND SECTION Because he had become very frustrated and doubtful about what the group was really doing, he had spent much time thinking about its real function. > He has come to the conclusion that just as business will instil needs in people through advertisâ€" ing in order to sell its product, the "big business" of education (if it must have a Home & School) uses this organization as an inâ€" strument to make the parents malleable and less agitating. The main purpose came to be to brainwash the parents into being good solid citizens who were wellâ€" informed, upâ€"toâ€"date on the actiâ€" vities of the school, and, nonâ€" complaining. To his knowledge, no question ef any consequence had been asked or answered at a meeting of this organization. Guest speakâ€" ers helped to use up the time at the monthly meetings, and in doing so provided an "opportunâ€" ity" for real issues not to be discussed. Since the educational organiâ€" zation, he feels, is out of touch with the needs of the society for which it is educating students, it eannot tolerate questioning of policies, whether they be new or old! And so it is satisfactory if the parents fall into line as the stuâ€" dents are asked to do, and everyâ€" one is a happy wellâ€"adjusted citiâ€" zen. Cub master, Norm Parsons of 1st Humberview presented a team players badge to Ricky Geddes and a pet keepers badge to Larry Hunt.

He felt that the schools have the parent at their advantage when and in fact there is little you can do if you are not happy with the type of education you are getting for your child. If the teacher cannot appease you, the principal will try, and if he canâ€" not, you will be put into the "ec. centric‘ file and forgotten. And you cannot expect to go through the Home & School with your problem because they have a file card: with the same heading. So the best thing to ao, he feels, is just to be quiet and try not to make things difficult for your child by asking questions. A TOPICAL TOPIC £ The general meeting of the UCW on March 27 should be very worthwhile.

For example, the oldâ€" fashioned way to collect sap was with spile and bucket; the modâ€" ern way employs plastic tubing leading to a central collecting point. The old way of making the syrup was by boiling the sap in a big black iron kettle; the new method uses a modern evaporaâ€" tor.
