School & This Town
The school board made some changes recently for the town for the high school – i don’t really know their reason for it but while out looking for wedding accessories with my friends – for her forthcoming wedding – this was what we saw. Yes! Picketing again! Man ! oh man! you must be telling yourself – why is there so many things happening to displeasure the entire town. From the MLAs being caught with their hands in the cookie jars to the ceased operation of the CAT and the airline changed – it’s a drama rama here.
More than 100 parents were in the meeting with the school board for making changes about certain grades moving from one school to another. Parents were upset because of several issues like busing and the transition of students – especially those with special needs. They are also concerned about the lunch program and the noon hour supervision or the lack of it at the Junior High. As a parent – i really sympathize with the parents – but with a child so at grade 7 or 9 - can it be so much trouble emotionally? but having said that – i know some just don’t want to go to the Junior high because of its bad reputation and I can’t blame them for it because we want our children to be safe. I’m just glad we are currently not affected yet.
