‘Educational Objectives
Saanich School Board - representatives in con-
- sultation with Saanich teachers have evolved a
“Statement of Educational Objectives, a document
_ which to the untutored eye appears as discursive as
~ itis unnecessary, in fact an exercise in futility.
We may readily agree to the. opening sentence:
“The prime objective of education is to prepare —
people to take their place in society.”’ Fair enough,
but what can be made of the. following statement:
-.. “The process should not only produce a person
- satisfactory to society, but one whose experience in
Society will represent a satisfactory personal
we fulfilment. ” iH
The document proceeds to define the desirable
_.. attributes of. the graduate student in eight trite .
- _ pronouncements. on social development; ‘some of
which are‘basic to any code of common decency.
But there are others which are amusingly in-
ngible, vague and altogether. perplexing.

RESIGNATION
Board of trustees of Saanich
School District has acéepted with
regret the resignation from the
office malt of Mra. i. fylor.

BY TRUSTEE
JOHN ARMSTRONG

Iam pleased to have.: been
invited to contribute. some

| thoughts on education and ex-

plain in more detail some of the
more important.Board decisions
which may occur during the year.
At the moment the country is
having a serious financial crisis
in medical and educational costs.
The Economic Council of Canada
tells us that by the end of the
1980’s, if the present. escalation
continues, Health and Education:

‘costs will take. the total gross

national product of the. country
(the total value of all goods and
services produced). This would, I
imagine, be quite unpalatable to
most of us whe might wish some
income for. food; shelter, etc.

It would be unfair to put all the
blame on the establishments of.
health care and education. They

‘| have been aided and abetted by

weak regulations at the the local
and provincial levels of govern-
ment, and by the sorry myth that.
anyone who quibbles about health
and education is a sacrilegious
ogre. To. date « the. education
profession has been immune
from. the: exigencies: of the

economy, making hay whether

the'sun shines or not: There are
encouraging signs that this may
be changing. The B.C.°Govern-
‘ment’s 110° percent (of the
previous. year’s approved.
educational costs) financial
formula. ‘introduced two years
ago. “and at the time roundly:
condemned by the B.C. Teachers’
Federation, was followed last
year byAlberta’s 106: per cent

“| formula and: now by Ontario also

Saanich School. Board Chairman, Trustee John Arm-
strong, has been invited to alternate with the Mayors of

matters of interest to the people of Saanich Peninsula. ‘The
Mayor’ s Column will resume next week.

you, the voter, can exert some
control. over costs and content.
From: the .. Department: ~ of
Education down to the classroom
level,.. effective control, other
than by. School. Boards, - is
maintained by just one segment
of the population, the teachers
themselves. Until this, year, the
only person on any curricwum
committee (of which there are
some 26) other than professional
educators was one representative
from the. B.C.: School Trustees
Association and he was an. @x-
teacher, : :

Why are there no represen-. ae

tatives from labour, business and

other segments of our society?
“The danger,.as I see it, is that

many teachers lack a sense of
reality. to society as it. extends
beyond. the rather protected
school atmosphere in which they

“have spent most. of their’ lives.

This is why itis vitally important
for the public to support Boards
who are. attempting — to keep
control of education in the hands
of the public and not under: the
absolute domination: of the
educational elite. Where Boards
have been infiltrated by teachers
and their cohorts, a clear conflict

of. interest develops because’

All day long this little boy is

woman with a truly Wagnerian

another of the thousand and one

sins against neatness peculiar to_

the little boys of the world.

Listening to. her this ..very

All my life, you see, I have been .

untidy. For 21 years my. mother
fought a hopeless battle against
it, then wearily passed over the
crusade to younger hands, one of

which I decorated with a solid 10-

karat wedding ring. My wife, in
turn, grimly dedicated herself to

the lost cause and does until this |

day (Wednesday).
I could have .told them both,
from the age of six, that I was:

got to be put away in drawers or
placed in closets or put back in
the bookshelf (if it happens to be.
a book) and the net effect is like
living in a store closed for stock-
taking. / .

It isn’t only that I’m naturaily
untidy. In my. wife’s eyes. it’s
worse than that: it’s the fact that
I enjoy it ever so much. I take to
clutter and jumble. 1. wallow in
the joy of being unsystematic
after a long day. on the rack of the
system. To me inis is a triumph
of man over inanimate things, a
refusal’ to be ruled by mere
possessions.

I'd rather see a great, chaotic’
pile of books that look as if they’d
been freshly read than, behold an
impeccable library.

My idea of the perfect clothes
for-any occasion is a pair of well-
worn corduroy trousers and a
sweatshirt four sizes too large. |
I'd like to live in a place that
looked perpetually like a summer

camp of bachelors.

T still dream of Pollogh Pogue's
cabin as the ideal environment
for aman of my. disposition.
Perhaps Pollogh will be before
your time. He was a. nature
writer who rebelled at city life
and chose to spend his life ina
small cabin in the deep woods.
When I was a boy I used to. hike
there on week-ends and watch
Pollogh do his writing or feed the
animals and birds that were his
pets. Most of all I liked to marvel
at the magnificient chaos of his
little shack.

What a joy it. was to escape
from home where the hanging up
of a coat.was a cause for a crisis
and step into the old man’s free,

untidy world, far from the petty -

discipline of more orderly. living.
It is a memory I’ve detailed a
thousand times for my wife and.
would love to pass.on..to the
woman in the apartment across
the way. Don t be too hard on that
little boy, mom, I'd say, he may
have greater things on his mind.
In life, dear, they DON’T GIVE
MARKS FOR NEATNESS, I'd

say. And if I was as brave as lam
raessy I'd really do it.
