Editor, Castlegar News:

Thank you, Mr. Jackson, for further informing parents of what their children will be up against in the future. As a parent, taxpayer and one who has worked in this school system, I have seen on a day- today basis what goes on in public schools.

I felt the April 9 meeting was a means of diverting the public with figures, rather than

Regarding teacher prepa- ration time and the average ratings from the Delta Data’ tests given students each year, a true comparison can't really be made, considering teacher preparation time and these computer tests were both intro- duced at the same time three years ago.

Concerning student/teach- er ratio, how convenient of the board not to mention that the maximum pi class should *“be no more than 25 students

Weavers Hear Dick Moulyn

The regular monthly meet- ing of the Selkirk Weavers’ Guild held last week at the South Slocan church hall saw 20 members present, with Inge- borg Thor-Larsen presiding.

Prior to the business por- tion of the meeting, members spent a half-hour socializing, followed by a brief session of yoga.

On cutting back on library services, combining buildings, materials and labor, three ele- mentary schools will be losing maximum usage of approxi- mately $100,000 each of your tax dollars that have been put into building up these facilities. Students have to be taught how to research for their academic Projects and encouraged to read more, After all, education comes from books and exper, ence,

Congratulations, your chit dren will be deprived of learn- ing these accomplishments to ‘the fullest. Is it any wonder why students “don't know" by the time they get into higher grades and that UBC has had to ‘come down’ to a “C” average entrance grade?

Yes, Mr. Holden, I agree teachers are professionals ‘and that they do the best of their ability, but so is an engineer, doctor or an actor. Each career has its responsibility. However, one can only do so much efficiently.

How efficiently can” stu- dents learn and have their mapy questions answered thor- oughly in overpopulated class- rooms? I've seen the control

‘Average’ Not Good Enough

and take every advantage of this they can,

T thought board members were elected to represent the people of the district, not dic- tate to the people what kind of educational standards their children are to receive. Par- ents, are you really satisfied to expose your children to an “average” education? In this century, when the opportunity is there, why not expect the”

. best, instead of stepping back-

wards each year, Face it, good quality costs.

Unfortunately, few of the schools invited to participate were able to do so this late in the school year, so class visits and competition entries were Students from thé Castlegar Primary ‘kindergar- ten and most of the grades from Woodland Park School visited the branches ‘for stories and refreshments. |

Robson W.I. Sells Tickets for Quilt

Members of the Robson Women's Institute who had finished the log cabin quilt, brought it to the regular monthly meeting held at the home of Mrs. Jack Scott of Robson on. April 11.

The quilt received a very favorable response from the other members and plans are in the making for a draw to be held, with tickets already on sale.

A draw for a food hamper at the institute’s May sale will be in aid of Pennies for ‘Friendship. Each member will bring a donation towards the _ hamper for roll call at the next

schools operating in British Columbia and more starting up each year. The parents of these children are paying a lot more than $42. a year so their children can have a higher standard of education. Is a private school in Castlegar the answer to higher educational standards for your children? If costs have to be cut, how about starting by initiating a sure method of stopping. the vandalism being done to the schools. Did it ever occur to you, the taxpayer, it takes dollars (and plenty of them) to continually repair what your children destroy in schools? There is an election around the corner, voice your opinion. After all, it is the squeeky wheel that gets the grease! C.L. Schuepfer

Here appeal to parents to make it your business to know what your child is doing in school, not just send children to schoo} to get them out of your hair for five hours a day.

I was astounded tosee that children of this elementary age

made for the Canadian Mosaic project to be displayed in various West Kootenay com- munities during the summer and fall months so residents may all have an opportunity to view it.

Tt was emphasized that the guild is open to anyone inter- ested in weaving, with one of its objectives being to help and encourage beginners. Even be- fore purchasing a loom, the knowledge and’ experience of members would be of great value.

Show and Tell time pro- duces some unique ideas for’ making use of weaving left- overs.

Photos of the guild’s work can be very useful for future reference.

The afternoon guest was Dick Moulyn of Nelson, who explained briefly, but clearly, the important techniques in photography, especially in rela- tion to photographing weaving. Members greatly appreciated

the time and effort given by n

Moulyn.

so little time was availabld! for work on the Canadian Mosaic, that a special workbee will have to be arranged in the near future.
