‘No mourners at

dual entry funeral

Teachers have no regrets over the
recently announced cancellation of
the dual entry program for primary
schools. "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."
