Teachers responds to Ministry report The Ontario Public School Men Teachers' Federation, an affiliate of the Ontario Teachers'- Federation, representing some 15,000 elementary mule teachers in Ontario, has responded offlelally to the 1Hkl _01 Education's Report of the SptX:ial P1; ovtltcWI ikivtuv; ct the School Year and School Holidays. The response is .contained in a 30 -page submission outlining the Federation'spoeltion. Concerns were a ressed by the Federation a ut the process which was used. They included what were regarded as the unrealistic timetable for possible amendment to the existing Regulation, the delay in being notified as to the un- dertaking of the review of the School Year and the inappropriateness of the questionnaire and the method of distribution designed to elicit comments and responses. There was criticism of the fact that while every school board trustee and supervisory officer received a ,copy of the questionnaire, the leaders of the Ontario Teachers' Federation and its Affiliates were not forwarded one.

Satisfaction is expressed that Professional Activity Days will continue to be an integral part of the School Year and support is given for the renaming of these as non' instructional days. Serious reservations are expressed, however, about the language and structure of the Report in dealing with the number and use of Professional Activity Days. Federation President, Duncan Jewell expressed his belief that tiie Report is weighted heavily on softie of the negative opinions regarding Professional Activity Days, rather than A1 the noeit ve ones He drew attention to his Federation's position that the lack of structural data throughout the Report and, in . par- ticular, the section on the number and use of Professional Activity Days leads to a distortion of the facts. He was critical of what the Federation regarded as broad generalizations, misleading use of statistics and the lack of documen- tation in the Report. "These," he observed, "lead to innuendos and the accent on the negative opinions re P.A. days, and may have caused irreparable harm to the teaching profession and the 102,000 members of the Ontario Teachers' Federation. It is the Federation's position that teachers have made very effective use of Professional Activity Days since .the Regulation was introduced in 1973. The ef- fective ffective use of P.A. Days in the evaluation of progress of pupils,opportunities for consultation with parents, the counselling of students, the development and evaluation of curriculum and programs and for teachers' professional development are cited as being some of the many effective uses of Professional Activity Days. In its response, the Federation is highly critical of the emphasis on the role of teachers as providers of custodial Bare, The Ministry of Education .0 reminded that It has the overall I espanieiblllty for helpLrtg individual learners to achieve their potential in physical, intellectual, emotional, social, cultural and moral development. The Federation cites thirteen objectives which are essential in meeting the goals of education and in helping each student to develop. Jewell said his Federation has grave concern and serious reservations about the Ministry of Education's continued emphasis on the need for accountability by Boards of Education, Supervisory Officers and teachers. "It is 'paradoxical," he stated, "that, on the one hand, the itriini$6CC 01 r:iiu%e ei�i cupportc. self-government for the teaching profession, while at the same time,. increasing the number and complexity of accountability models." The. Report recommends the School Year commence on or after September 1 and end on or before June 30. The elementary male Federation's position is that the year commence on the day following Labour Day and end on June 30, but when June 30 is on a Monday or Tuesday, the school year end on the preceding Friday. The Federation also opposes the Report's recommendation that School Boards decide the nature of activities to be undertaken on non - y • • Jewell ustated his Federation's position that the nature of the activities on such days should result from decisions involving the Federation . Branch Affiliates, supervisory of- ficers and School Board Trustees. Jewell expressed the hope that serious deliberation and consideration will be given to • the Federation's response lo the Special Provincial Review of the School Year . Summer combines learning and entertainment The three "Rs" take anew twist this July when they come to signify rest, relaxa- tion and renewal at the University of Guelph Sum- mer Campus '82. Summer Campus is a vacation which combines learning with entertainment and recreation for all ages. Learning and enjoyment meander hand in hand as the holidayers swim, play ten- nis, and take classes on the campus lawns as well as in regular classrooms and laboratories. Recreation time with new- found friends in one of the campus coffee shops- means a chance to avidly discuss a --course rather than escape studies. Vacationers from across Canada and some from the U.S. regularly take part in Summer Campus, which was established several years -=11111111111111111111111Hi11111111111111111111111111111111111111I1 IIIIIIII11111111111111111111111Iii1111111I111I111111IIIIIII= Fine -Dining and Fine Entertainment this Friday &Saturday, May 28 & 29 9 pm to 1 am and Sunday, May 30th .5 pm to 10 pm with the Candlelight's....

Bank will have to improve relations Banks have to solve many problems if they want to im- prove their strained rela- tions with farmers, Ralph Barrie, president of the On- tario Federation of Agriculture said May 20. He was speaking to members of a federal committee study- ing bank profits. "The image of the chartered banks has takena beating in. the rural com- munity in the past two Years," he said.. Bank managers -are often inex- perienced when it comes to a "complex and dynamic in- dustry like agriculture", and aren't giving sound advice, or encouraging farmers to get advice from independent sources. "We have been repeatedly told of producers who were advised by banks in 1978 and 1979 not to fix the interest rate on their loans because the banks felt that interest rates Were going to fall. We, all know the value,of that ad- vice," Barrie said. - Higher interest rates for borrowers and not for savers are unfair, Barrie told the committee. '`Either the bor- rower should be paying less or the saver earning more," he said, and added that banks' higher administra- tion costs "do not necessari- ly justify increased spreads." - Barrie criticized several of the conditions banks impose on theirborrowers, like ask, ing collateral security in ex- • cess of the. money being bor- rowed. "Collateral security should only be required up to a maximum of 150 per cent of the value of the money borrowed," he said. Security agreements which tie up goods that will be acquired in the future are unnecessary,, Barrie said, since the banks already have enough collateral. Banks r, often use illegal clauses to "scare" the bor- rowero Bargiesaid, using the example of a clause which allows the banks, "without r 1 1111-1111-11111 NO -IN-CLIP.

"Banks' should not be able to force people to sign a waiverof all their rights", unless they get something in return, like a point less in in- terest.
