Hoch, physician practicing in Ailsa Craig, Ed Dridiger Director of the Nairn Group Homes, Patricia Romyn, mother and teacher and Parkhill West Williams School, and Malcolm McLean teacher at Lucan Biddulph School. While a diversity of opinions on how discipline should be administered, were expressed it was agreed that discipline is necessary to help the child to grow and mature, It was felt that standards of behaviour must be established and that children themselves desire discipline. Constable Taylor of the OPP warned that we are currently experiencing the highest juvenile crime rate than ever before as well as the highest suicide rate. A strong reaction against proposed legislation arose when Ed Dridiger of the Nairn Group Homes read some proposed directives from the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services to persons working in children’s residential care ' facilities. The proposed standards and guidelines, dated Sep­ tember ’78, would forbid such things as “striking a child directly, or with any physical object; shaking, shoving, spanking or other ’ forms of aggressive physical contact; requiring the child to remain silent forlong periods of time; assignment of unduly physical strenuous, or harsh, work; prolonged confinement to bed,” etc. cern sparked a great deal of discussion.

As programs to rehabilitate an emotionally disturbed child' are suc­ cessful and the child is in­ tegrated back into the public school system, the proposed regulations still apply to teachers and staff dealing with the child who is a crown ward. Thus it would have its total affect on discipline within the school system. Parents present felt that the proposals were all but eliminating discipline controls, The Home and School took immediate steps and appointed the executive to review the document and report back to the next general meeting of the Home end school for further ac­ tion. Members were urged to write to their provincial M.P. as individuals to ex­ press their concern and opposition to the proposal becoming law. Hill Stewart advised SH JEFFREY BROS. LTD.
