As a trustee, | believe that there is adequate time to meet the staffing changes that may arise from the introduction of these changes and there is every indication that the school organization can be improved if the reasons for the changes are well understood,’’ Regan said. Assistant Deputy Minister Gienn Wall told the News after the meeting that it ‘Swas highly unlikely’’ that ¢ government would delay im- phmentation of the proposal ‘*The suggestion that grade 10 students don’t) make choices now ts Judicrous in my opinion postponement 1s not likely, we want it lo hap pen before September '84 so that when it is implemented in September ‘85, grade 10 students will be prepared.’ Wall said More than half of those making presentahons, Oppos ed the changes tothe Physical Education requirements len Corbett, a Pl tor, TEVSE Eas stressed hat the “students who need physical education the most. are the ones least Likely to take at Those Opposing the dropp mp oof the requirement oon claded many athlete associa fhoms. parent proups ana ttre Bo Medical Asso tation Bot Rankin the Cad iat fon Masi b cbure atiernn in Neorth Noa cusecr Sand thre MICROWAVE OVENS THE LEADING BRANDS AT LOW WAREHOUSE PRICES VISIT OUR NEW SHOWROOM OLON Y HOME FURNISHINGS Warehouse Diatribution Centra OPEN TO THE PHELIC 1076 Roosevelt Cresc.

Teachers Federa- tron, the B.C. School Trustees Association and others bodies. He also asked for a delay until there is more public discussion. ‘*‘We must free up more elective slots and = trust counsellors to help students (and their parents) make wise choices about their programs of studies,’’ Rankin said. Rankin said the paper's ‘*clear implication is that the arts are of little consequence and can be done to any stan- dard and are primarily for students who have no inten- tion of going to university or college. ‘*This distortion and belit- tling of the role of the arts in education reveals once again the callous indiffernce of the ministry to the efforts being made throughout this pro- vince to ensure that the arts will have their rightful place at the heart of the = cur- riculm,’’ Rankin said. Many speakers, including Boyle, stressed that the paper lauds White Paper was ‘“‘lacking In two ingre- dients essential to any educa- tional document, it lacks both an educational philosophy and a research base for its findings and proposals.”” Boyle went on to say that the document was a ‘‘political statement and not a thoughtful assessment of the current status. ‘*Because it is a political document, the White Paper is able only to offer past solu- tions to meet contemporary challenges, it features a plan to attack the decade of the 1990s, it is a veritable Maginot Line of educational tactics,’’ Boyle said.
