In fact, it’s so important a couple of educators said in Clinton Monday, they think school children should be taught to do it. Mind you, there are a cou-., pie of drawbacks to the idea, sajd Dr. Hank Hedges of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education in Toronto and Dr. Len Popp of Brock University’s faculty of education. Popp told about 30 prin cipals and vice-principals from Huron, Wellington, Perth, Middlesex and Bruce counties that it’s not fair to blame teachers if children don’t think. Plant party at Kirkton Kirkton Horticulture Society members were treated to a plant party at their May meeting. Exeter Florist Ben Hoogenboomand his assistant Mrs. Wilma Truemner spoke to the large crowd and answered questions concerning plants and plant care. Miss Susie Vanderspeck, Woodham favoured with solos and business consisted mostly on the bus trip planned on June 3 to the Woodbridge area. Members were asked to let their directors know as soon as possible as to whether they would be going or not. At the close of the meeting members could purchase any of the great variety of plants that were on display. A few of the members were fortunate to win door prizes. K “You have no right to ex pect a teacher to do what he has never been taught to do.” And teaching a child to think may pose problems for parents, said Hedges. “If you teach children to think, they will do (what they are told) but they may not agree with you.” And then parents will ask why schools are teaching children to challenge tradition. Popp said the Israeli government tried a program to train children to think in dependently “and some parents couldn’t deal with it. I don’t think the* situation here will be as great, but- there will be problems,” he said. The men suggested that thinking be taught not only to students, but to their parents and teachers. Thinking, they suggested, can be taught with the same principles as math or science. Youngsters would learn to observe, classify, put things in order, establish a correspondence between ideas, use probabilities and correlations. Learning to think wouldn’t be a course on its own, they said, but should be included in all classes. The way it is now, said Popp, too many children learn by luck — “you throw them into the water to see how well they do, and many don’t do very well at all.” Hedges told the school of ficials that as many parents as possible should get in volved in schools “after the teachers have learned how to make good use of them.” At Exeter Public School, volunteers help children in special education classes, and remedial reading as well as' sharing special knowledge and talents. Popp and Hedges are talk ing to groups of educators across the province, promoting thinking. Hedges said he hoped Monday’s group would pursue the idea. Popp said Monday’s ses sion was the best so far. “We have never been able to get so much done in the time with any group in the province.” Bill Black, president of the Huron County Elemen tary Teachers’ Association, said he thinks the group is willing to try out the Popp- Hedges theory. vianaeooye attend confirmation By MRS.
