expenses for alternative programs the york region board of education is already having dif ficulty covering the cost of basic educational needs within the region universal busing to the school of ones choice like universal family allowances may be a wonderful idea in theory but the economic reality of the 80s sug gests its becoming an expensive luxury is a price tag estimated at well over 100000 a year to provide busing for a relatively small group of students too much to ex pect taxpayers to cover on the other hand with virtual ly no public transportation available and both parents in the majority of families now work ing are alternative programs guilty of elitism obviously most students who have to travel some distance must rely either on a car pool or a nonworking parent to allow them to attend for many these options just arent available in the last few years theres been much discussion on the pro- kates corner kate gilderdalei a at sears until july 1989 on approved credit and

sometimes get overlooked in our eagerness to be fair to the smaller but often more vocal groups i believe our first priority must be to our local public and secon dary schools which open their doors to everybody regardless of qualifications and which serve the vast majority of students in our imperfect world those who choose an alternative pro gram must take on the respon sibility for making the necessary arrangements to ensure access for their children the idea behind busing is a laudable one and for many peo ple its a necessity however given present budgetary constraints theres no alternative but to look at the greatest good for the greatest number of people and accept that its unrealistic to hope we can be fair to everyone in every situation if the board agrees to spend large sums of public money oil busing small numbers of students isnt that a form of elitism too perhaps the only alternative to make the situation equitable would be to abandon the arts york program altogether so no unfair advantage would be available to these fortunate students who currently enjoy its benefits the law requires that all children receive an adequate education and provides the schools and the transportation necessary to achieve that end entering an alternative pro gram seems a privilege rather than a right one that may well require sacrifices by both students and their parents there are no free lunches as the saying goes and if we want something badly enough we sometimes have to overcome seemingly impossible odds to get it x most parents who have a gifted child soon discover that to allow that child to develop his or her gift it takes a lo of blood sweat and tears on the part of the whole family strictly speaking its not fair and some students will inevitably lose out but one of the first lessons we learn is that life just isnt fair in a publicly funded system we have no choice but to make the most of our limited resources in a way which will benefit the largest possible number of people science fair a success although entry into the science fair at orchard park public school was optional this year ap- proximately 120 students participated according to grade 8 teacher bob arlidge everyone in the junior and intermediate grades had to complete a project but were not obliged to enter the fair nine projects were selected from those entered and will
