"How can the government

• We're really losing input."
Reed also has concerns
with what he calls "teacher

'are—coming to Canada for
teachers:
He _ favors the school
trustee system but said if
Bill 160 passes he believes
the next step could be
complete aboti°shmeni of
school boards. Under Bill
160, .in area dealing with

After reading a letter in
a. Toronto daily; written by
a 16 -year old, Jim Hayes
questioned ' whe'ther' teach

Nancy 1Vacintyre, a

meeting to take back. two
direct questions. to Fisher:
Why was it necessary to
