(staff photo) People divided on opinion about Ontario public school system A research survey com- missioned by the Ontario Public School Men Teachers' Federation reveals that people are almost equally divided as to whether or not elementary school children are getting as good an education today as when they themselves went to school. Of the sample surveyed, 42 percent felt they are and 40 percent felt they are not. The remainder had no opinion. Most often cited by those indicating satisfaction with the system are the greater number of subjects taught, the improved training and qualification of teachers and "improvements and ad- vancements in the system". Those expressing dissatisfaction indicated a lack of emphasis on the three "R's", permissiveness and insufficient discipline. The researchers found that the overall image of elementary public school teachers •in Ontario was "quite favourable on most dimensions". Over 70 percent of those surveyed agreed that teachers have a difficult job and are willing to talk to parents about the pupil's problems in school. About 60 percent felt that teachers know their jobs Well, act in a professional. manner, are concerned with the problems, of individual pupils and with providing a high standard of education. A somewhat lower per- centage (51 percent) felt teachers impart high moral values to their pupils and are respectedby them. (56 percent). Thirty-two percent actually thought that teachers work less hours per day than most people. The question of teachers' pay revealed that while 27 percent thought them overpaid, 22 percent thought them underpaid. In the view of the researchers this in- dicates that people generally feel teachers' salaries to be "about right". Most favorable overall attitudes toward education at this level were displayed by that group of people who actually have. children at- tending elementary school. More than eight out of every ten are satisfied with the education their children are receiving and a high per- centage consistently hold favourable views of the teachers' actual performance OPENING SOON - IN LONDON O'DONNELL-TAYLOR'S mews shop Sizes 48 to 60 Shorts, Regulars & Tails IF YOU ARE SIZE 48 OR OVER .

The survey also finds that "almost half of the respon- dents feel that parents have transferred to the schools and teachers some aspect S of education that were formerly considered p'art of the responsibility -Of the family". Discipline and obedience training, sex education, behaviour and moral training topped the list of aspects viewed by this segment as transferred away from the family. The survey covers 701 Ontarians 15 years of age and over living in private households, providing a representative cross-section of the population. Conducted by Contemporary Research Centre Limited, it set out to determine overall attitudes toward elementary public school teachers and the system in general, as well as the extent of awareness and perceived function of the 19,000 member 0.P.S.M.T.F.
