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

offers a holiday complete
with room service.

ning for two periods of one
week each, Summer Campus
'82 offers 27 adult courses

oriented courses are high on
this year's agenda for
adults. These include Wine
Appreciation, Home , Com-
puting, Floral Design,
Calligraphy, Storytelling,
Speechmaking and the
French and Spanish
languages. If vacationers
want to learn how to argue
logically, overcome shyness,
develop their creative
genius, cope with current
social and moral changes or
negotiate more effectively,
courses are available. Those
who are, keen to develop
themselves professionally
can take Television Produc-
tion, Collective Bargaining
or Salary Administration.
Highly -popular, the .youth
program features innovative
courses and a "hands on"
approach to .learning for
ages four to 15. Scamper
Camp, Kaleidoscope and
Odyssey, for the four to six,
seven to nine, and 10 to 12
year old groups, respective-
ly, provide a variety of
educational and recreational
experiences. Films, arts and
crafts, music, gymnastics
and hikes are part of these
week-long programs.
For youngsters . who are
keen to develop skills and
understanding in specialized
subject areas, Summer
Campus '82 features seven
courses and workshops.
Television production, com-
puter camp, nature day
camp, French immersion;
sports symposium, artists
workshop and inner stage
are variously open to
youngsters, according to
age. Sports and a swim are
an integral part of all youth
courses.

barbecue, night under the
stars, at the University
Observatory, tours of the
campus and a lively wrap-up
party at the Faculty Club are
featured.

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

"The laws of the land were

said. "Banks' should not be

unless they get something in
return, like a point less in in-

kitchen sink but it can be
dangerous. May 14 is Child

ful...some are deadly.
