Hopefuls face the public
their classroom in the afternoon, he said.
"This is much more cost effective' and
socially desireable, said McQuail.
French immersion was the most contro-
versial issue during McQuail's term.
McQuail, who was chairman of the ad hoc
committee which studied French immer-
sion proposals for the county school'
system, told the meeting early immersion
is impractical and he did not support it.
Late immersion with a significant number
of children in the program could be intro-
duced if cost effective, said. McQuail who
supported this recommendation' by the
committee. This approach would not set up
a new stream within the system..
"It is attractiveto find a diverse
education without extra cost while provid-
ing accessibility, said McQuail.
' Pat Haskell said she has served on the
board's advisory committee on special
education since 1981. She , has a 'child
educated in the special program and wants
to see, special needs: children allowed to
'remain in their own schools to receive their
education, where they will not be segregat-
ed from family and friends. •
• French immersion is a, luxury the
taxpayers cannot afford, said Haskell. 'If
you want, you should pay for it," she said. '
She wants to see .industrial arts and
' .home economies program introduced. at
Brookside, school. She suggestedthe
children could be bused : to Lucknow
Central Public School for shop and hone
economics classes where the school has
excellent facilities. This service could be
purchased by the Huron County board
from the . Bruce board, she said.
Don Alton: said .he, wants to. see the
Huron County Board of Education achieve
.the most education for rthe ratepayers' tax.
dollars. .
He suggested .that taxpayers can have
more programs 'at Brookside school without
spending thousands of dollars.
Alton, who was activellin the anti -french.
immersion organization; Parents for a
Better Basic Education, said he plans to be
a strong accountable voice on the board.
"Times have changed, but maybe' -it's.
time we roll back the times. It's time for
change when the hired man is making
more than the boss and right .now the
teachers are making more than the rate-
payers," 'said Alton.

In answer to a question from Clete
Dalton about permitting homosexuals or
lesbians to teach in the county schools,
McQuail said sexual orientation ' is not
something an employer can ask a person
when he or she applies for a job. McQuail•
was interrupted by Dalton at this point and
was not permittedto continpe his answer.
Dalton isa separate school supporter who
has a child attending Brookside School
Pat Haskell said if they are qualified
teachers she had no objection to homosex-
uals and lesbians in the classroom, as long
as they did not try to influence the children
in the direction of their sexual preference.
Don Alton answered, "If people do not
act accordingly after hours, .l don't want.
them teaching our children.' •
Shirley Smith asked the candidates
about programs for gifted children at the
secondary level. • •
McQuail said the gifted program is the
last to be introduced'by the Huron County
board *der Bill 82 which provides special
education for all children who require it.
McQuail . said a considerable amount of
work is still necessary to meet the require
ments of the gifted child.
"All children 'are unique, said McQuail,
referring to a comment by special educa-•
tion superintendant Paul . Carroll. The
board is looking at models, that are cost
• effective but will not ostracize the child or
encourage elitism. McQuail said he wants
a program for gifted children that will not
create hostility with the peer group.
McQuail'said the board wants to challenge
the gifted child. One method is to use
sources in the community, he said.
Haskell said the gifted child is aspecial
needs child and Bill 82 stipulates education -
for all and requires that education meets
the needs of all children.
Don Alton suggested gifted children are
in the minority and parents should give
them more ati home to keep them satisfied.
In his opinion, the children who are
. average are not getting enough attention.
"We have to helpthe average children
who are the majority," said Alton.
In his opening remarks McQuail, who
has completed one ,term as trustee on the
board, said he is confident the Huron
County Board of Education has been
conscious and wise about making educa ,,,
tion opportunities and excellent facilities
available to the students in the county. He
said the board is ensuring the students
have' a basic .education but also a //broad
experience which :Meets the challenges of
changing times. .
• McQuail said the board has movedthe
special education staff into, the school
rather than expecting them to travel the
roads from school to. school. Special educa-
tion .programs in the county permit the
child with special needs tb hang their hats
and spend time in the morning with their
special • education teacher and return to
