Mr. Harris Incorrectly tells us that Ontario students rate the lowest In Canada. DID YOU KNOW THAT... O Ontario's high schools have the highest graduation rate of any province in Canada. O Sixteen year olds in Ontario are reading at the top literacy level. O Ontario students rate high on international tests. O Ontario's Durham Board of Education was rated as the Best in the World I Mr. Harris Incorrectly tells us that Ontario spends more per student than any other Jurisdiction. DID YOU KNOW THAT... O Ontario rates 49th in spending per student out of 63 jurisdictions in Canada, the United States and Mexico. O Property taxes have increased while money spent on education in Huron has decreased due to provincial government policy. Mr. Harris Incorrectly tells us that teachers have negotiated for higher class sizes. DID YOU KNOW THAT... • Government cuts have led to larger class sizes. O Bill 160 does not guarantee lower class sizes. Indeed, it leaves that completely up to government. Mr. Harris Incorrectly tells us that he can Improve the quality of education In Ontario by spending less money. DID YOU KNOW THAT... O Harris plans to take another $700 million from education. That means less money spent in your child’s classroom, the school library, gymnasium, and playground. O Bill 160 is undemocratic! Many of our small community schools will close without warning. O Bill 160 silences the voice of parents as well as the voice of teachers. O Less money will mean fewer quality programs for your child and grandchild. Mr. Harris incorrectly tells us that teacher preparation time Is a waste DID YOU KNOW THAT... O A teacher's time to prepare and plan means more in classroom quality time for each student. Mr. Harris Incorrectly tells us that teachers and School Boards cannot be trusted with education. DID YOU KNOW THAT... O Ontario's teachers want to continue to be active partners in creating positive, meaningful change in the province’s education system. Bill 160 will not allow this to happen because all educational decisions will be made in Toronto. O Teachers have co-operated with each new government curriculum and reporting system. O Teachers were not consulted on the present grade three tests, the new report card or curriculum. Sponsored by the Teachers of this community
