dear editor your newspapers page 1 story march 29 under the heading principal protest rais ed a few important questions for us it seemed odd mr elliots stated only concern is for the welfare of the children and yet at he same time he is quoted as saying there appears to be something going on but hes not sure if its happening this singular lack of awareness would belie his stated concern either mr elliot is genuinely unaware which is unforgiveable for a man in his position or he is unwilling to face a growing con cern that involved parents are trying to point out to him as parents involved in last years controversy we are dismayed that nothing has changed although board of ficials assured us there would be attempts to bring about im provements and we are most irate that the term witchhunt is still being bantered about mr elliots use of the term clearly shows he is either unable or unwilling to deal with the parents concerns in a construc tive manner as parents we should certainly be offended at having our ge nuine concerns dismissed as he ravings of vidictive hotheads further questions arise over trustee bowes involvement in the situaion do twelve calls in one day real ly constitute small problems the general unhappiness to which mr bowes refers is far more deepseated than he would concede to publicly and there lies the main irritation there is a very clear message that board officials and mr bowes would prefer to play ostrich over this principal protest is our elected official going to be allowed to pretend nothing is going on while allowing the prin cipal to dismiss parents con cerns as a witchhunt let us not forget that board of ficials including principals and trustees have to answer to tax payers and parents it is our children they are educating we have a direct in terest and voice in determining the quality of education that is delivered sincerely linda ilollin hick ilollin stouffville editors note the comment by mr elliot there
