chnical teachers battle
• The ure of technical education in
Ontar , secondary schools was the
com concern when 90 members
of the ntario Vocational Educators
tion from London, Middlesex,
H i Oxford and Elgin counties met
for it annual fall dinner meeting
bei organized this year by SHDHS
tea' • r Jim Workman and held in the
Ma nic Hall in Exeter.
t . d table guest Don Ballantine,
pr :. dent of the London and District
O A, zeroed in on the OSIS pro -
gr (Ontario Schools: Intermediate
a ' Seniors -Division) as one of the
in reasons for a decline in enroll-
nt in technical and business
rses after the OSIS program was
opted in 1984.
Under OSIS the former four-year
ream has been replaced by general
vel courses, and advance level
ourses have been replaced by the
ive-year stream.
Ballantine said one of the main
stumbling blocks for some general
level students is the mandatory re-
quirement for one French and five
English credits. Noting that 80 per-
cent of high school students don't con-
tinue on to university, Ballantine said
the elite 20 percent are being catered
to.
"When decisions are made to suit
20 percent, you have a problem,"
Ballantine said.
Before throwing the meeting open
to discussion, Ballantine read a quote
from Charles Taylor, a former
machine shop teacher who is now
superintendent in charge of cur-
riculum and program for the Toron-
to board, which appeared recently in
the Hamilton Spectator. "Education
is under the control of successful
classical academics and hence educa-
tional direction is by nature prejudic-
ed ... although students had taken
French in elementary schools for a
number of years and had perhaps had
enough, educators forged ahead with
great excitement, adding French as
a compulsory language to the grade
nine compulsory list."
This engendered some lively
debate. One teacher said attacking
French would be like kicking a
beehive. Instead, the vocational
teachers should enlist support for
their side in a positive manner.
Another teacher said although it
makes no sense to force a student
having trouble in grade eight with
French to be made to continue with
That subject in grade nine, Canada is
officially bilingual and OVEA
members would do .themselves no
favour by attacking the academic
side preferred by most parents. He
advised providing politicians with a
graceful exit.
A motion to pursue the idea for four
technical andlor business
fa profored by Rod Wraith from
Winm was defeated.
SHDHS teacher Wally Haygarth
was one of those speaking against the
motion. He suggested enrollment
could be increased in a positive way
by working hard to acquaint primary
students and parents with what the
technical courses offered. Another
suggested attracting more girls, who
make up half the schools' populations,'
into some of the technical courses.
A motion stating that no student
should be required to take more than
one-half of his or her timetable in
compulsory subjects in any year
received a majority of affirmative
votes. It will be passed to theOntario
Secondary School Teachers' Federa-
tion task force on technical education.
Ballantine also brought with him
answers to nine questions prepared
by the task force and submitted by
OSSTF president Rod Albert before a
meeting on September 17 with
ministry officials. Referring to the
replies as a "bombshell", Ballantine
said this was the first time they had
been made public.
Ballantine called the replies "old
hat and very disappointing," inter-
preting them to mean the OSIS pro -

A ward drain work

the work completed by November 1,
while the low tenderer was planning
to complete the work next June.
The Grand Bend firm bid at
$.34,921.39, while the lowest bid of five
received was $33,943.56. The highest
bid was $49,511.
Engineer Don Pletch explained that
there could he more crop damage if
the work was undertaken next year
than this fall.
However, he said he wouldn't want
to see work start on the project until
the ground dries up a little more than
at present.
Councillor Dorothy Chapman ask-
ed if there could be some type of polic-
ing to ensurethat drainage from fur-
ther development would not be put in-
to the drain, noting that several had
hooked into the dram since it was first
constructed and that was the reason
for the present project.
Pletch said the Drainage Act pro-
vides for that policing, hut added that
it required the cooperation of the
municipalities involved.

"They are sucking with a sinking
ship", he remarked to his reporter
before the meeting
OVEA counsellor Enc De Val was
more conciliatory in elaborating on
some of the ministry answers. He said
the ministry appears to be genuinely
interested in reviewing technical
education, and in involving OSSTF in
that review. He added that OVEA will
be represented on the task force.
De Val said under the new
guidelines some subjects are being
grouped together. As an example, he
said machine shop, welding and fluid
power could all come under manufac-
turing. The program would not sup-
plant skill teachingin si )ject areas,
but would complement traditional
subjects. He warned that if OVEA
members resisted this trend or refus-
ed to participate they could be buried
like the dinosaur. The teachers were
advised to make sure the changes
were set up In a manner compatible
with the need for trained, qualified
teachers able and willing to handle
two or three grouped subjects,
De Val predicted there would be no
large infusions of money from either
the federal or provincial treasuries
for new equipment, therefore,
teachers must work hard to ensure
that available money is spent
effectively.
De Val reported that the tone of the
meeting had been positive, and the
OSSTF representatives had been
satisfied with the ministry's response.
The OVEA members had been
given tours of Huron Tractor and
Kongskilde in the afternoon.
