in group work? How thrill-
ing. Classroom teachers can
hardly be expected to teach
more ‘than the set cur-
riculum, ‘ whatever that is,
when their hands are full
with behavioural problems
and learning difficulties,

This school board spends
approximately $50,000 on
the G.A,T.E. program —
roughly the equivalent of
keeping one teacher. In com-
parison, the learning
assistants and teacher aid
programs (none of these for
fast learners) cost over $1
million,

If one classroom teacher
costs the school board
$50,000,. imagine how much

“the administrators cost? I
think-the public has no idea
how much our school district
administrators make. |

‘therefore: suggest that, in-

stead of cutting learning
assistants and the G.A.T.E.
program, we cut the wages of
the administrators, starting
with the superintendent.

I cannot believe that those

administrative jobs are more .

difficult than a teacher’s job.
Why the huge discrepancy in
pay? Cut a little off the top
and let us keep up the quality
of our children’s education.

Dear Sir:

‘Please Jet your readers
know that I am not recom-
mending that they contact
their local Overwaitea store
“for information on healthy
food choices, as was sug-

: gested in my last article ‘‘No
to Dieting”.

’ The article should have
read “For information on

your local Dietitian/Nutri-
tionist on a Shopsmart Tour.

food everywhere

Register now at your local
Overwaitea store.”

The grocery store is a great
environment for nutrition
education. That is where we
make many decisions on
which foods we will eat.

Overwaitea stores across
British Columbia have con-
tracted Dietitians/Nutri-
tionists to conduct. grocery
store tours to assist shoppers
in making healthier choices.
This service is not restricted
to individuals who shop at

this store. The tour focuses
on label reading and assess-

ing current food choices. It is’

not product, nor store
specific,

All the grocery stores in
Terrace offer shoppers a
good selection of nutritious.
foods. I recommend any of
these stores.

don’t think it is necessarily
hopeless, If we can understand
the nature of the conflict, and
are willing to target our energies
and resources to the basic
elements of the conflicts, I think
we have a chance.

I am led to believe that in-
stead of directly battling the
presevationists we should direct
our efforts toward their power
base, the average environmen-

falls prey to their siren song.

I believe that we have to av
two things and do them well.
