"It had a lot of problems," said Rob Brown, president of the Terrace District Teachers’ Union. "We. had a number of meetings about it,.and the teachers were saying we should get rid of it." The dua! entry concept allowed children to enter kindergarten in both September and January, the idea being that children could enter school as close to their fifth birth- day as possible, evening out age differences among primary level children. The program was imple- mented by the Ministry of Educa- tion as part of the Royal Commis- sion on Education recommenda- tions. ; Education Minister Stan Hagen said May 30 he decided to cancel the program due to complaints from trustees, administrators and teachers. Hagen added that cancel- lation of dual entry does not lessen his commitment to implementing the rest of the Year 2000 education reforms. The move will have budget im- plications for School District 88 because the district’s funding block _ is partly predicated on enrolments of kindergarten children in January 1992. Brown, whose wife is a primary leacher, said the entry of new children into first year classes mid- way through the year was disrup- tive and stressful for both teachers and children. "September is always a stressful time, but by around Christmas the children are settled into a routine. But in January new kids would have to be trained, taking more of the teachers’ atten- tion, and we found that the other kids began to regress. Even vet- eran teachers had trouble with the system."
