schools real thing for adult students by kate gilderdale for many adults going back to school conjures up visions of night school courses a chance to have fun and learn new skills in a relaxed environment for april evans it was the real thing complete with schedules timetables and exams after more than 20 years away it was no easy task to return to the classroom and hit the books a parttime student at stouffville district secondary school she is taking a grade 10 math course math hadnt been her favorite subject at high school but like many people she discovered how useful it could be once she left not having it precludes you from many kinds of jobs she admits ruefully the transition to the discipline of long hours of study hasnt been easy says april im taking it from day to day at the moment im not looking at a long term goal she couldnt have done it without the helpful and supportive attitude at sdss from teachers students and the school office i went to guidance staff and spoke to them she recalls they really understood the difficulties facing adult students and they have been most encouraging her classmates too have been extremely supportive if im stuck or have a question about math theyre always willing to help she acknowledges extra coaching after class has also been useful the teachers offer good practical suggestions on how to keep up maintains april with the help of a tutor who suggested extra books she could study to help focus my mind she is gradually starting to feel more confident in herself teacher doug mccammon worked with her to select a schedule which would be practical for her needs all i had to do was work hard she laughs eventually says april shed like to take courses in com puters and physics but thats long term she says firmly

jazz and social dance traditional ballroom dancing and they are all well attended says baxter the discovery course for children in grades 4 to 6 has given mr baxter particular pleasure because only four children enrolled originally we were going to drop it he notes a disappointed mother con tacted him and with some local publicity and the help of the schools we now have a class on wednesday nights between 630 and 830 he declares with a solid enrollment of 16 the course offers an educational experience beyond that which is normally available in regular school with a creative and ex ploratory approach to different subjects including cooking and woodworking despite the variety of courses already offered mr baxter is keen to enlarge the scope of his programs he would welcome suggestions and hopes people in terested in teaching courses will approach him he already has had offers from individuals willing to teach reupholstery and sewing classes in the new year dwbokmitf v
