attend Curriculum 79 success By STEPHEN GAUER Of The Examiner COLLINGWOOD Cur riculum 79 threeday educa tioh conference held at Blue Mountain near Collingwoodlast week was great success say two teachers from the Barrie area who attended the con ference The conference has been educational in the highest sense of the word said Judy Wat son member of the Georgian College faculty following the final workshop sessions on Saturday The conference sponsored by the Simcoe County Board of Education attracted about 90 teachers from the county and close to 90 teachers from throughout Ontario as well as Montreal and New York State The workshops held Friday and Saturday dealt with sub jects ranging from child abuse to teacher education to new developments in school cur ricula It was terrific con ference said Mrs Watson All my biases have been con firmed The guest speakers and the workshop leaders underlin ed the point that our respon sibility as teachers is to the child not to the taxpayers If we can afford to spend money on roads and nuclear power plants that money should be spent on kids too That kind of rhetoric informed all three days of the con ference PROVIDES MOTIVATION The conference provides motivation to keep the revolu tion going she said In the context of teacher criticism we get sense of worth and duty from conference like this reminder our role is vital The best teachers are the most important people in our society thats what Laurier LaPierre was saying LaPierre the Vancouver based broadcaster and strong advocate of childrens rights gave the opening address to the conference on Thursday He spoke for 90 minutes about the curriculum as an education and social contract Marian Pauley grade teacher at Sunnybrae School in Stroud agreed with Mrs Wat son that the conference was terrific experience As teacher you can lose sight of the whole she said Conference like this one gives you broader experience They make you better person and that makes you better teacher as well John Freudeman principal in Stayner was cochairman of Elusive topic ends conference COLLINGWOOD The elus ive concept of leisure was the topic of provocative workshop given Saturday morning during final session of Curriculum 79 threeday education con ference sponsored by the Sim coe County Board of Education Dr Robert Bundy an educa tion consultant from Syracuse New York challenged the traditional concepts of leisure and the way they reflect the value of what he calls our superindustrial society The superindustrial view is that the future will bring us more technology more af fluence and more free time said Dr Bundy This view says that through education we must prepare people how to use this leisure time productively But question whether free time has increased with the decline in work time If we identify free time with leisure we probably have less leisure time than our forebearers And the future may bring less leisure time as we enter an age of scarcity Dr Bundy says society doesnt permit us to enjoy the true peace and beauty of Plas tomer dispute continues The strike by some 100 workers at Plastomer Ltd entered day four with the establishment of picket lines this morning at the John St plant Right now were waiting for management to make move and so far they havent re quested meeting Stan Ste Croix secretary of Local 722 of the United Rubber Workers Union told The Examiner Talks broke down last week and pickets manned their posts Thursday morning after the majority of the locals members voted to strike They have been without contract since April and any settlement will be retroactive tothatdate Ste Croix said the line has been violated by several com panies picking up material from the plant The key issue in the dispute is over wages The membership turned down an increase of 46 cents in the first year of three year pact that included raises of 17 cents hourly in year two 22 cents hourly in year three and costofliving capped at 30 cents hourly in the second year Employee wages range from $401 hourly for machine operators to $728 for millwrights The union is ask ing for hourly increase of 25 cents both the second and third years and are happy with the 46 cents offered in year one INCREASE WANTED Ste Croix also said the membersip does not want costoHiving allowance that can reach maximum of 30 cents hourly but COLA that reflects the actual increase in the costofliving The unions bargaining com mittee had recommended the membership accept the con tract bft it was rejected Today the committee was among the picketers and ready to talk at moments notice Ste Croix said The local was formed in 1963 and went on strike over each of its last two contracts In 1977 it was out for three days before agreeing to two year deal Ste Croix said Michael Krueger division personnel manager with the company told The Examiner that no decision has been made by the company concern ing the resumption of negotia tions The strike does not affect the plantsoffice staff leisure because our jobs are the centre of our lives Were told that doing nothing is idleness that leisure is just temporary absence from work and thus that leisure finds its meaning in work But postmodern view would hold that leisure must be enjoyed for its own sake that work become temporary absence from leisure and that leisure is the centre of our lives VIEW UNACCEPTABLE Dr Bundy feels the modern view of leisure is unacceptable and the postmodern view is unattainable The solution is to bridge the two views by distinguishing between work as the purpose in life and job as the way we pay the bills This split between work and job is as powerful as nuclear fission in the way it af fects our lives Most children grow up believing work and job are the same things In the future this may be different Schools should help kids deter mine their work as longrange goal The educated person will then understand the im portance of finding woek to do regardless of the job he has For Dr Bundy leisure would become the peace and con tentment that follows the discovery of work to do whereby one can enjoy things for their own sake To enjoy leisure you have to go beyond the rational and allow truth and beauty to reach you Leisure is an attitude of mindyou cant schedule Remember that for the Greeks the greatest arts of leisure were prayer and celebration two things that are out of place in the superindustrial society Dr Bundy thinks people dont have problems if their work and job are the same thng or if theyre completely separate The problems arise when peo ple have only job Then you have truly sad people and you need mass entertainment industry to keep people occupied and passive The postmodern view puts leisure not work at the centre of life The solution is to help people find selfdefined work so they can discover leisure the conference He said the response from teachers at the conference had been en thusiastic ORGANIZED FOR EXPOSURE This conference is organizlt ed so that our teachers in Sim coe County can be exposed to different areas of thought he said This is accomplished by inviting teachers from right across Canada and by using resource people from many dif ferent areas of education Resource people at Cur riculum 79 included county teachers and principals specialists from the Ontario In stitute for Studies in Education today City Editor Ian Mulgrew7266537 the examiner Monday May 14 1979 school board trustees universi ty and community college con sultants and other education specialists Freudeman said hed never experienced anything quite like the LaPierre speech He spoke about the necessi ty for teachers to be real peo ple said Freudeman He ex plained why high risk level must be maintained in teacher relationships But the bottom line of this conference is the kids in the classroom he said The kids will benefit from the teachers being here The results arent just shortterm the real spinoffs
