We were given a fact and that was that. We couldn‘t agree or disagree, our opinion didn’t matter.” “Great,” according to the ladies now attending day classes at Thornlea. “The classes were really good”, said Mrs. Gail Krystia, director of Greenlea School. Florence Deacon was really impressed with the amount of work cov- ered in the course “But now the students are taught to look beyond the surface facts.” Mrs. Krystia continued, “And there’s a freedom now that makes for better rapport between student and teacher.” ’How did the structure of the school differ? Florence Deacon felt that she really couldn’t comâ€" pare because she had gone to a girls’ school. But Mrs. Krystia had this to offer. “The school I went to was so structured that when the principal walked through the school yard at recess, everybody stopped talking.” Kind of dif- ferent now. isn't it? Both felt that the teachers Were very encourag- ing, and the students friendly. “They don't seem to mind adults sharing their classes. I’d say that I have quite a few friends among them,” said‘Florence. “I don’t feel like an outsider â€"â€" I think the stu- dents accept me,” agreed Mrs. Krystia.
