They were one hour long tutorial sessions in five dif- ferent Grade 13 subject areas guided by four subject teachers from CHSS. `The student turnout was exceptional, with very few missing students. On Thursday afternoon rumour had spread that OSSTF objected with the "mass tutorials". At that time Jeff Hearn, Cathy Wooden and I went to OSSTF Headquarters to discuss the "mass tutorials" with OSSTF's policy committee. As a result of OSSTF's rumoured disapproval of the mass tutorials, 3 of 4 teachers did not participate in classes previously scheduled for Friday. We did manage to hold Algebra and Calculus on Friday with Mr.. Russell's participation. Shortly after Friday's classes I received official word from OSSTF stating; "In regard to the subject of tutoring, it is strongly suggested that each member only provide "requested remedial tutorials on an individual basis." This means that our planned "mass tutorials" are suspended for the present. They have been successful in that the public is aware that students are concerned about their education. That the mass tutorials are suspended is a result of disappointing com- munications upon the part of OSSTF. They were notified by letter of our "mass tutorial" intentions on February 24, and yet they made no policy - known to us until the second day of tutorials, March 10. The letter specifically requested that OSSTF con- tact Scott Doherty. This contact ' was not fulfilled by OSSTF and thus we had no reason to worry that "mass tutorials" would be against OSSTF. policy. I stress that as far as the tutorial organization goes, the, students are impartial in this dispute. We recognize OSSTF's fear that if the Government sees "learning going on" that arbritration would be delayed, thus delaying our return to the classroom. However, the grade 13 students are still worried about their education and are determined to get it. In order to comply with the policy, I have formulated a way that students might get more' effective "individual tutoring". I have approached various Grade 13 teachers and asked them for assign- ments on an individual basis. At press time the plan was to have copies of the assignment distributed at a CHSS Grade 13 student meeting at Wesley Willis United Church on Wed- nesday, March 16 at 1:00,p.m. As well as the copies of subject assignments, a sheet containing teachers' phone numbers would be included. The students are encouraged to use the assignment sheets in conjunction with the teachers' phone numbers to We bought a truck Ioad...And we're selling them BELOW LAST YEAR'S PRICES Pre -Season Sale Canadlana Model C2D Dual Control Gas 95 Barbecue Complete Accessory Package.
