The Open: Road Sehool’ that is to be operated by School District No. 9° this September appears to be a very. and the lack of training and Srnec of moat. of the teachers in dealing with apecial problems . attempt to meet ia real need. ) - One of the drawbacks with it (a very : serious one, in our opinion) is that students must request a transfer to the special school, Those who want’ to, remain in the present system’ :. ° where they aren't doing well (and where they're likely creating problems in classroom discipline for students who do have some desire to learn) will tied alloned to remain in the conventional ‘AS: "outlined ‘to the board of trustees of School District No. 9, the Open Road School will be available :to all students from. the: two secondary schools in; the district who have “dropped out” in a literal, but nota physical sense. The Open Road ‘School will’ attempt to ‘integrate the student with his family, the school and the community. Proponents say it will have an educational ‘environment ‘that will not be inferice in any” way to the existing ‘schoo) ~ cartes objectives of the Open Road School, as outlined by teachers Collin Pryco and Fred. Stroes, will be “to develop the latent creativity ofeach student in various fields and to build an » attitude of respect for himself (herself), other Ld individuals, and the community. ‘All positive aspects of self-expression > (languages, 'math,*art,/drama, sports and hobbies) ‘would be closely integrated with: the development of the whole person. All learning, although following closely the school ‘academic’ subjects in. some areas, would be ron-graded unless the student: wished to return to’ the: regular school system. s “ “Members of an Open Road School would be made to become ‘aware of their potentialities by being involved in creative activities. Evidence of ,€ member's growth ‘would be his/her creative output-and citizenship: Book learning would be - considered ‘secondary to these accomplish- < _ ments,” + 1. Messrs. Pryce and Stroes say that because of the lack of jobs for teenagers without special educatiorial qualifications, students who pre- viously would have left school in grade 9.now have ‘to ‘continue their education _ until graduation in: grade 12. « ‘This has led.“to:an increased number of unfulfilled marginal students who are not having - ; 5 their- needs’ fulfilled). by” :the secondary* achools,..Stigma “attached -to a ‘change “of. program or remedial classes, the negative. retfect ofthe grade erpoiolise system on weak students ° “should be encou: a are pi within the ofthe ‘school: which increase‘ the difficulties.” Following’ publication’ of. the news; stor: cy i which reported thé decision to establish an Ope Road School, a UBC stuient (himself a,produ of the local educational system) wrote a letter to the editor questioning whether establishment of. the’ Open Road School; wasn't ‘in ‘itself. a’ zcontessiet of‘ failure by’ the ‘present / school: sys Leon Arishenkoff suggested. that what is”. needed is a correction of the present schools’ approaches to potential. drop-outs."
