She adds: “I wish (Dr. Pat)
McGeer was around. I think
he -should come along and
find out what is going on in
“his schools.

“We (PIE) have en-
countered this kind of thing
before but never so
blatantly.”

Trustee Ernie Sarsfield
says he has studied the
‘program in depth- and is
totally against it.. “I. don’t
think it’s education,” he

_ says.

“I think it is ridiculous in
the first place and lots of

BUREAUCRACY

He says of the promoters.

of the program: “This type of

They are there to serve us
and not not we to serve

Fellow trustee David Craig
is against any child being
involved without the written
permission of parents, saying
the program involves per-
sonal counselling with career
counselling, which he feels
should be completely
separate.

He is particularly against it
