(By Jim Fitzgerald)
Secondary school teachers are.
doing a good job in Ontario in
spite of many handicaps, a
Toronto man told about 200
Huron. County teachers . on
Monday.
Jim Head of Scarboro, the
co-ordinator of a study on the role
of the secondary school in Ontario
revealed parts of his year long
study into the secondary school to
the teachers who were assembled
for a day long professional
development seminar at Central
Huron Secondary School in
Clinton.
Mr. Head is preparing a
500,000 word report on the
secondary school based on a
year's study financed by the
Ontario Secondary School Tea-1
cher's Federation. (OSSTF)
The report, which was started '
in August of 1974, should be
ready by January of this year and
is expected to raise as much
controversary as the Hall-Dennis
report did on public school
education in 1967.
The Hall-Dennis report recom-
mented sweeping changes{ in the
schools and Mr. Head said that it
neglected to look closer at the
problems of secondary schools.
The report, which solicited mater-

34,000 secondary teachers,
15,000 students, and parents, and
briefs from government agencies,
industry and social agencies, will
in part list 12 areas of concern to
secondary school teachers.
Problems listed included:
violence and vandalism as a
potential trouble maker here;
declining enrolments because of
the lower birth rate; increased
pressures on teachers to give
social and moral training without
adequate training; too much
emphasis on political decisions
rather than philosophical ones;
different expectations of various
groups such as parents, teachers,
and trustees; too much admini-
strative bureaucracy and lack of
rewards and incentives in areas
where enrolment is low.
Other important points which
Mr. Head said concerned tea-
chers were stresses for today's
teachers.
"The only other group subject
to more stressare psychiatrists,"
he said. Mr. Head also said that
teachers are concerned that
schools are becoming too large
and depersonalized and many
persons want to know what they
are getting for their money.
"Can the training of students
be equated with the production of
goods?" Mr. Head asked.
The equalities are not the same
for women in secondary schools
Mr. Head said, and female
Students too are not receiving the
opportunities as the males.
He said he found that more and
more teachers are expressing a
professional concern for the direc-
tion of secondary education and
more and more are becoming
involved in politics to improve the
system.
"Teachers are first anu fore-
most people, They are not
libraries, machines or dissemin-
ators of knowledge," Mr. Head
said.
