Good job by teachers
Secondary school teachers
are doing a good job in Ont-
ario in spite of many handi-
caps, a Toronto man told
about 200 Huron County
teachers on Monday, October
20.
Jim Head of Scarboro,
the co-ordinator of a study on
the role of the secondary
school in Ontario, revealed
parts of his year long study
into the secondary school to
the teachers who were as-
sembled for a day long profes-
sional development seminar
at Central Huron Secondary
School in Clinton.
Mr. Head is preparing a
500,000 word report on the
secondary school based on a
year's study financed by the
Ontario Secondary School
Teacher's Federation.
(OSSTF).
The report, which was
started in August of 1974,
should be ready by January
of this year and is expected
to raise as much controversary
as the Hall -Dennis report did
on public school •education in
1967.
The Hall -Dennis report
recommended sweeping
changes in the schools and Mr
Head said that it neglected
to look closer at the probl-
ems of secondary schools.
The report, which solicited
material through questionn-
aires to 34,000 secondary
teachers, 15,000 students and
parents, and briefs from
government agencies, indust-
ry and social agencies, will
in part list 12 areas of concern
to secondary school teachers.
Problems listed by included
Violence and vandalism as
a potential trouble maker
here; declining enrolments
because of the lower birth
rate; increased pressures
on teachers to give social and
moral training without adeq-
uate training; too much emph-
asis on political decisions
rather than philosophical
ones; different expectat-
ions of various groups such as
parents, teachers, and trus-

tee; too much administrative
bureaucracy and lack of
rewards and incentives in
areas where enrolment is
too large.
Other important points
which Mr. Head said concern-
ed teachers were stresses for
today's teachers.
"The only other group
subject to more stress are
psychiatrists," he said,
Mr. Head also said that
teachers are concerned
that schools are becoming too
large and depersonalized and
many persons want to know
what they are getting for
their money.
"Can the training of stud-
ents be equated with the prod-
uction of goods? Mrs. Head
asked.
The equalities are not the
same for women in secondary
schools Mr. Head said, and
female students too are not
receiving the opportunities
as the males.
