What Should Be Taught? As far as what should he taught in school. Robertson said "if everyone in this room made a list of what they thought should he taught, it would take until next year to agree on half a page." • The number one reason par- ents choose to send their chil- dren to charter or private schools is not for variety of courses taught or quality of teaching - it's for class, says the author. "They think their children will be with a better class of people." Proposal to Minister Robertson read about a dozen points she would like to propose to the Minister of Education for dealing with schooling issues: "• Be respectful - to teach- ers and kids. • Recognize when common sense and ideology conflict. • Mr. Snohelen, don't strip the contract between school and society. Education has to he for the public good not private benefit. Correction from last week • Techrology as a tool has its place. But computers are just the solution of a small percentage of problems. • There's no such thing as a free lunch, free computers, or free corporate partnerships. • Be suspicious of 'good intentions.' • Let go of the idea of 'one best solution.' There's no sin- gle right answer. • Seek simplicity and dis- trust it. Continue to find a better way. • Don't get caught in nostal- gia - deal with it. • Recognize school reform Anna's, Bee's reopen (Editor's note: Unfortunately- a paragraph in a story on page 8 of lest week's- paper was mistakenly proved which.nu:de for some confusing- reading.

A new ceiling was also put in as well as new wallpaper and painting. "We were closed for the month of July. In August we opened up with pretty well an empty store." said owner Anna Hamilton. She says the experience of dealing with the fire and the clean-up that followed was "disheartening... "The customers were very •rood and patient." The store. is now fully restocked with new fashions. "I thank my customers for patronizing me through my dilemma," says Anna. She hopes something is done with the shell of the building that remains from the fire. "I hope the town soon cleans up the Main Street." Bee's Fashions To the immediate south of the burnt building is the for- mer Shinen's store owned by Bee and Doug Foreman, now called Bee's. As well as con- tending with smoke damage to their store, the Foremans had to deal with damage to their family apartment above the store. Bee rushed her family out to safety early Sunday morn- ing on June 30 before the blaze spread. As. far as repairs to the store, extensive cleaning was done, the ceilings were low- ered, new display areas were made and wiring was replaced. Bee repainted the store with help from family and friends. She has received many pos- itive comments and support from customers and friends.

Paul Dyck, president of the Ontario Public School Teachers' Federation, thanked Robertson for her presentation and added com- ments of his own.
