*From he Principal's desk
By Deb Homuth '
South Huron District High School"
Recently, bought a chair that swivels and'rocks;
ho,ivev(0it'without a computer we can't figure out
how it works as all the instructions come on a disc.
' Thereused to .be simpler chairs for simpler tines. .
So, loo, there was a day in. Ontario when not only
the world's knowledge, but the world itself was
embodied in that teacher at the front of the room.
That isInoionger the case. No longer do schools
have the monopoly on information or even learning.
The resppnse we make to thai fact will determine
w etre we go from here.
I believe one of they things schools must do is '
r i r provide opportunitiesrto kids that they wouldn't Deb Homuth
otherwise have access 10. How that manifests itself
is widely varied. Sometimes that means bringing the world to
schools 1,We do that when students go on-line to access information
for their assignments. Somctitttes that fneansfbringing presenters
with expertise to school as happened 101 scenic senior students when
they sat in on the Employment Standards Act presentation a few days
ago. Our belief is that students will he better prepared to deal with
the requirements bf that legislation as employees if they learn about.
1 it now. Sometimes that means taking kids on field trips and
excursions.
Last week, I accompanied a group of our students and their teacher
to a training session called Global Vision at York,University. The stu-
dents listened to atvariety of presenters speak about the skills and
knowledge needed to succeed in' the global marketplace. The
Honourable Sergio Marchi, Minister of International Trade, spoke
about how dramatically a global economy has changed -the Cantlda
that these young people are inheriting. Another worthwhile opportu-
1 pity came when the Corel presenter gave each student $140 worth of
free software while explaining that the average age of Corel employ-
ees is 28.
• Many high school students in attendance at Global,Vision were
preparing themselves to compete for one of 44 Junior Team Canada
placements. These high school students will participate in a trade
mission to Southeast Asia and present their global marketing plans
for one of Canada's economic sectors. This trade mission is taken
very seriously by the countries involved and being the only rural kids
in attendance our students were encouraged to apply.
As the two days unfolded, it became clear that our students had the
skills they would neled.Although they didn't carry cell phones, pagers
and business cards as did m! ny of the Toronto kids in attendance
therc, our students did have the communication skills (oral, and writ-
ten), the abilitylto work effectively as members of a team, thc flexi-
bihity to adapt to new situations, the capacity to perform under pres-
sure and the most powerful tool of all, they know how to learn.
Sometimes we have to wotlk harder, just because we are rural, at
ensuring that we continue to create opportunities for bringing the
world to our ki5q and our kids to the world. Students who come to us
with fewer experiences that have broadened their horizons must con-
tinue to have their lives enriched simply by attending school. Our
role as teachers has changed. We need to continuoutly reflect on
what we do and how we do itito make sure it adequately addresses
the realities/of today. Your continued interest in the process tells us
it's worth the effor),.
