Science fair
shows students
at their best,
whether or not
they even realize it
last week's Avon Maitland District School
Board science and inventors fair was a
chance to see the current eduction system in
a significantly positive Tight.
During the past few years, there have
been a number- of issues raised "about the
abilities of our students and the abilities of
our teachers.
Common testing of our students has been
taking place to assess their abilities and
there is talk of literacy tests that.students .
must pass to proceed. • -
There is also talk of forcing teachers to be
tested on their abilities.
But at the science fair, held at Seaforth and
District Community Centres last Wednesday,
young minds were alive with passion and
possibilities.
Students studied everything from how to -
make peanut butter without peanuts, a food
that can kill people with nut allergies, to why
wetlands are important to the environment.
Although categorized as science; students
worked with a number of skills from math to
writing and public speaking, without
necessarily realizing how all those skills
were coming together for their individual
projects.
Butstudents could. capably answer
detailed.. questions about their projects and.
demonstrated a clear understanding of.
what they had accomplished. .
Some, including one student who prepared
a detailed study orpropeller thrust, used the
project to help -himself at home.
He flies model planes and needed to find -
a propeller that would get his plane off the
ground on a short stretch of land on his.
property. - - .
He thinks he found one.
He is an example of how; despite the
cracks people may find in our education
system, students really are learning practical
knowledge.
Whether they can read or write at the
appropriate government -determined levels,
it Is more than reassuring to know we have
students who can take what they've learned
in school and think for themselves,

To the Editor: _
Avon Maitland School Board take note. Eighty-eight year-old Harold Coleman, a
Seaforth gentleman. and ex school board member, along with the members then.
• knew they were there to work for the benefit of the school and pupils.
And here, in the year 2000, he is still fighting for our school and pupils, which is
something the board of today has forgot. . • -
Harold we are proud of you. Your kind donation of hall and music. raised more
than $2000. . . .
. I'm still angry with -the monies spent on -school board offices in our school and 1
lunches paid by the school board -for some meetings. Why not a lunch bag and save
some more money?
