elementary schools. He'. said in
some cases it might be best to split
"chatterboxes" yet other students
'may need to be together to survive
socially.
Lucknow Central School student
Chad Freeman asked how
destreaming will affect students
who move on to other provinces.
Mr. Murphy responded that at
present any student moving to a
new school from out -of -province is
monitored to determine academic
standing. Chad also asked if univer-
sities may see Ontario students as
less qualified since less credits will
be earnedatthe high school level.
Mr. Parr said more should be
looked at than just the superficial
counting, of credits. He said the
Ministry of Education would ensure
that both sets of institutions mesh.
Mrs. Gibbons said since she sees
so many unanswered questions
concerning destreamirig, she hoped
that further nm clings would, be
scheduled to keep parents informed.
She said communication is import-
ant.
mportant.
Mrs. Gibbons also asked how the
new curriculum will work around
the present timetable of periods.
Mr. Parr skid there have been no
firm conclusions or recommenda-
tions. He said they are trying to fit
the program within the constraints
of the current .timetable - but added
that he did not know what the final
result would be.
•
Although the Ministry of Educa-
tion will not allow the steaming of
classes, Mr. Murphy said that does
not stop the school from having a
group of students excused from
class fol either intensive tutoring or
enrichment. He added there is
already a system in. place wherein
students are excused• from class for.
enrichment purposes.
Benchmarks
The panel was questioned on the
merits of provincial benchmarks
versus standardized testing.
Mrs. Homuth said the benchmarks
are a set of expectations on how
well a student can accomplish, a
task. She said there are a variety of
ways to test students. She argued
that standardized testing spreads
students apart while benchmarks
ensure everyone reaches a basic
minimum.
Mr. Murphy added that ' similar
methods are used in many pro-
fessions. He said mechanics are
tested as to whether or not they can
do a specified task - not how well
the task is done. -
With a student it would be if the
individual can add one and one -
yes or no.
