We would be hard-pressed to find more than a few dozen students in our system who would qualify (1 per cent of the popula- tion). The Legislation is quite clear. At one end of the spectrum are children who have difficulties in their learning ex- periences. The Legislation cautions us to differentiate children who are slow learners (the legislation was not design- ed to address their needs) from the learn- ing disabled student who, because of ernotional,physical or other defined lean- ning dysfunction is not able to realize his/her full potential without special education programing. At the other end of the spectrum are the talented learners (those students who by virtue of good working habits, stimulating home environments, interest and motivation are excellent students) and the gifted who may, or may not, be demonstrating academic excellence but whose intellectual quota is far, above the .norm. Some of y,ou, as parents, received a let- ter asking for permission for gifted-nPss testing. The teacher had assessed the children in his charge and, based on their marks, decided that your child just may be a shining star in the world of academia. His opinion of your sibling was reinforced by a "peer evaluation" (A sort of popularity contest wherein the students decided among themselves who was the brightest of the lot.) thank goodness common sense now prevails! I understand that these instruments for deciding who should be tested for poten- tial giftedness are recognized as being quite unprofessional. Any perceptive teacher should be able to recognize the gifted student in the classroom - whether achieving or not - by ththe very nature of his uniqueness. Never- eless, this was how the process, unfor- tunately, was introduced. Just as we do not center -out the learning disabled child in the classroom, we should not subject the gifted child to this kind of ,attention. Many of these children have enough trou- ble as it is relating to their peer group. A gifted child must learn to live in a E. Farm Services LAST CALL! FARM LUBRICANTS & GREASE LUSS SALE - ENDS... THIS SATURDAY AT NOON FARM BATTERY SALE ENDS... FRIDAY, MAY 31ST. EDWAR FUELS 202 Anglesea St. Goderich 524-8386 TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY world of ordinary people where his uni- queness can be more of a curse than a blessing for, an intellectual advantage does not ensure a social advantage in our society. The gifted person will not, by default, be compassionate, understanding, or tolerant of his intellec- tual inferiors nor will his superior knowledge necessarily be tempered by humility or wisdom. One of my great con- cerns is that we are pushing, perhaps unintentionally, to enhance intellectual superiority as an end in itself. Until recently, it was up to you, as parent, to ensure that your potentially gifted child received those unique enrich- ment experiences denied those ordinary souls in the classroom who, according to some thinking, would little benefit from exciting projects designed to stimulate curiosity through exposure to alternate Warning modes. Thankfully, I have been assured that this model hasfallenout of favour. The current, and sounder, think- ing is that enrichment programing should be open to all students with enroll- ment limited only by student interest. I can only hope that this is happening in your school - if not, please let me know. I am emphatically opposed to the presentation of enrichment programs designed only for our top students - or streaming. Such a system is bound to become a catch-all for all the advantaged . youngsters in our communities. The im- plications for the future of education would be disturbing for, in essence, we would be creating an elitist environment which would only be tapped by bright children whose parents are knowledgeable and determined to ensure the placement of their child in such pro- grams. Unfortunately, the words `enrich- ment' and `gifted'' have become synonymous in the public mind so that I would not be surprised if some confusion lingers. Just as the legislation was not designed to be a catch basin for all underachieving students, neither was it meant to be a means of focusing attention on all the bright students in our schools. If we are not very selective in identifying the gifted, we are abusing the intent of the legislation for exceptionalities, at either • end of the scale, are not good. They are a source . of pain, frustration and sometimes ridicule. Traditional school programs can not address these needs and that is why the legislation was enacted - as a mechanism of interven- tion.

Phone 524-4741. —20 The recent election has given , rise to a vastly different government here in On- tario. Minority government augurs well for greater accountability and responsibility but all too often such government is short lived. For it to work there has to be give and take, com promise and most importantly co- operation and a desire to govern in the best interests of Ontario. Hopefully this will be the goal of all members. - It is my intention to once again submit a column to the weekly papers, apprizing my constituents of the happenings here at Queen's Park and the concerns which con- front the government for its consideration. One of those concerns which must be im- mediately addressed is the future of rural Ontario. The Province is undergoing great change. The recent recession had an impact on every part of the Province and every seg- ment of our society and has left us all in a period of transition. Perhaps nowhere has this transition been more deeply felt than in rural Ontario. Rural communities are threatened by in- creased urbanizationfand an exodus of young people t0 the cities. The problems faced by Rural Ontario multiply and take on a life of their own. As jobs disappear, young people move to the cities. As young people move out the tax base declines. As the tax base declines, tax rates go up and services deteriorate. Rising taxes and deteriorating services drive away industry and eliliiinaie it5r. -.- The vicious cycle is threatening the very existence of life in rural Ontario and its con- tribution to life in this province. For the Iasi Two years I have been serving as a member of the Rural Ontario Task Force and although a' variety of issues emerged at the hearings the concerns of rural representatives disturbed by threat of their community survival were united by a common theme: the Ontario Government is not listening to rural On- tario. At every hearing without exception the Task Force was told over and over that decisions were being made at Queen's Park with no effort to consult rural municipalities. There is a sense that rural perspective is not being heard at the cabinet table; rural issues are not getting the priority they QUEEN'S PARK leserve. Many rural municipal leaders feel the government is charting a course for On- tario with little regard for the future of rural Ontario. The old saying "as agriculture goes, so goes the economy" certainly holds true for the economy in rural Ontario. If farmers are not making money, neither are the service industries nor many of the businesses in town. Rural communities are looking for a new lease on life and jobs for their young people. If we have a god progressive farm in- dustry, things will fall into place. We need agriculture policies comparable to the rest of the world. The problems faced by rural Ontario must be addressed. It is time to move rural issues to the front burner. The cost of solving rural Ontario's economic problems is far outweighed by the potential cost of not solving them. Govern- ment should move to halt the drain of business and farm bankruptcies and the ex- odus of young people to the cities. We Inane to resUgn air prturities. Zuverry ment policies must be designed to create jobs and to aid small business and farmers - instead of spending money on inflated advertising, sand hacking and oil company purchases that produce no jobs or spin off benefits to the Ontario econnrny. The Rural Ontario Task Force urges in- creased funding in support of–tai com- munities as an investment in our future. Ontario cannot survive . without vibrant rural communities. Rural communities can- not survive without- programs to help farmers, improved roads, boost tourism, aid small business and train young people. Our present government must strive to see that the people of Ontario's rural com-. munities will be given an opportunity to preserve their way of life and help propel the province's economy. Willing workers sing anthem on Mother's Day The Sacrament of Baptism was observed at the Mother's Day Service which honored motherhood and the Christian Family.
