From tie White Cliffs...
English exchange teacher at East Wawanosh
By JIM BROWN
The Advance -Times
BELGRAVE - There are differenc-
es and similarities between schools
in Ontario and England.
One of the major differences ac-
cording to Kevin Hodge, an ex-
change teacher from Dover, Eng-
land, is the quality of the buildings.
He said the library facilities at
schools in Ontario are much better
than at schools in England. At his
school, the library books are kept
in the corridor.
This is Hodge's first visit to Can-
ada and he has enjoyed the two-
week stay. He was hosted by John
Kerr, a Grade 6 teacher at East
Wawanosh Public School, and his
wife Barb of Belgrave. Hodge ar-
rived on April 8 and flew back to
England on Saturday.
"I have always been interested in
Canada,",he said. "Now, I get to
see it in prson."
' Hodge has visited a number of
other schools in Huron County, in-
cluding Wingham Public School,
Bluewater Secondary School in
Goderich, and Central Huron Sec-
ondary School in Clinton.
As well as visiting area schools,
he also visited Niagara Falls, the
SkyDome in Toronto, and also
went to SL Catharines, Kitchener,
and London. While at Clinton,
Hodge visited the Legion and pre-
sented them with four copies of
Dame Vera Lynn's World War
Two song, "Bluebirds Over The
White Cliffs of Dover."
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my
two weeks here," said Hodge. "I
•really don't want to go back."
He was very impressed by the
Tech 21 course at Central Huron in
Clinton. He said it was very useful
and that the teachers of the course
are doing a good job.
"This is something not normallm.
done in England," he said.
Hodge is the principal of Charl-
ton School in Dover, England, in
the County of Kent. The student
population of the school, which
goes from Kindergarten to Grade
6, is 153 pupils, and Hodge has a
staff of five teachers and a secre+
tart'.
He said the teacher -student ratio
in England is about 1:30. He added
that each student is worth about
$2,000 to the school principal.
Hodge said schools in England
are not operated the same way they
are in Ontario. There are no school
boards. He stated that each school
is allotted a certain amount of
money each year, and how that
money is spent is determined by
the principal and the 'governors' of
the school. This includes the num-

games with the Brownies and
Sparks just prior to the holiday.
Lianne Swanson helped the girls
make a yellow pom-pom ejlicken in
an egg carton. Alice Yuill helped
the girls make a bunny on a popsi-
cle stick which jumps out of a top
hat made from a toilet paper roll
and construction paper. Connie
Dawson organized an Easter egg
hunt and Sandra Dorsch made East-
ef egg nests with rice krispies and
put Easter eggs in them.
On April 19, Pathfinder Kerry
Hill of Wingham spoke on her trip
to Switzerland last summer when
she stayed at "Our Chalet". She
brought pictures, souvenirs and
badges from around the world.
The girls thanked her by doing
the "Grand Howl" and also present-
ed her with a gift of Girl Guide
cookies.
Earth Day also was discussed
and it was noted the Brownies will
be cleating the neighborhood on

ber of staff and the purchasing of
equipment and books.
The students of his school are
required to wear uniforms. Hodge
said students must wear uniforms
from when they enter school at
about 4 1/2 years of age, until they
are about 17.
"When a student turns 18, and
they have worked bard in school,
we may let them not be required to
wear a uniform," he said.
The school year in England is
190 days for students and 195
days for teachers. He noted that
this year, school began on Sept. 3
and will conclude on July 21.
Similar to teachers in England,
the teachers in Ontario are very
hard working.
"The students here are very po-
lite," he said. "The students and
the staff at the schools are very
welcoming."
When John Kerr makes the re-
turn two-week visit to England in
early July, he may attend a Royal
Garden Party in Dover, Hodge
said a member of the Royal Fami-
ly may be in attendance.
