In a spatial sense, can grey matter be opportunistic? Makes you wonder why the same effort wasn’t extolled when school boards acted in intimidating fashion?

Somebody will be making a lot of money on this principle. I wonder who? Say one thing about grey matter, it is never black or white. Oh here we go another grey legal case.

]]> Comment on Hold off on school changes, council tells Quebec by Luke http://acdsa.org/?p=915&cpage=1#comment-336 Luke Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:08:25 +0000 http://acdsa.org/?p=915#comment-336 Here we go again. Finally some teacher requested changes are proposed and it's own unions are now balking at it's implementation. No wonder that many describe our educational system structures as meetings ad nauseum. The government should implement the changes to ease up teacher workload and then tweak any necessary changes. Of course Education officials, unions and school boards, love more meetings because it is is their main raison d'etre. Without these over abundant meetings, the reason for having school boards and unions, would be non existant. In the meantime teachers once again will face the excessive burden of evaluating competencies instead of knowledge and the burden of integration with less resources. The government has to implement the changes now and not dance to the tunes of the bureacratic weavers. Here we go again.

Why shouldn't everyone pay equally to ensure this happens? It is old school to bicker about linguistic lines. We should be arguing and lobbying for a proper curriculum and better education services.

So their building and grounds department needs to do better evaluation checks. 126 false calls are related to kids doing kid things. It is too bad parents are doing such a good job of teaching morals and ethics to their children. But, hey, $15,300 is a cheap education.

If I live in a suburb and its population is mostly English and I take a bus through a predominantly French suburb and if I pay more municipal taxes (incl. transportation) than the Francophone getting on the same bus in this predominant French area then according to your argument it is discriminatory. BB I have heard in a long time. This is absolutely nuts. I actually pay to read this crap. Like the other writer said stop playing the divisive game. Hey Gazette Let’s take it one step further.
