THORNE RIDDELL INC., Receiver of GCI Manufacturing Inc. 560 Wellington Street, London, bntario N6A 3R4 ATTENTION: Mr. R.M. Jackson 116. • 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 Under OSIS the former four-year ream has been replaced by general vel courses, and advance level ourses have been replaced by the ive-year stream.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 - t TALKING SHOP SHDHS teachers Dave Newton (left), Jim Gladding, Jim Workman and Al Dehaan talk with Don Ballantine, head table guest at an Ontario Vocational Educators Association dinner and meeting attended by 90 members from London and Middlesex, Huron, Oxford and Elgin Counties in the Exeter Masonic Hall.

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. 1 Township of Hay NOT ICE Ontario Municipal Board Hearing for Highway 21 Waterworks Project (Main Trunk Line) to be held Tuesday, October 14 At 1 P.M. Hay Township Hall Zurich, Ontario decline gram will not be adjusted in the near future. "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.
