I hope you’re sticking to it but just take a few minutes break. Think for a minute about long range goals rather than immediate necessity. A _ ' ‘uuuvn yuan. a... .n. u.-- _----_- Why are you going to school anyway? Is it because you love learning? Is it because your par- ents send you? Is it because you‘re not yet old enough to quit? Is it because it will prepare you for adult life so that you can “make something of yourself”? Is it because you’d rather go to school than work? Be honest with yourself. Now you know that if you can read you can teach yourself. Some of the most “educated” men and women I’ve known barely graduated from grade eight. If you really loved learning you’d quit school, quit taking someone else’s course, and go out living and learning on your own. A h 1 v“... .- . __. --_ _-.._ ___,,u Is it because your parents send you? Perhaps you can get them to be honest with you. If school is a drag and you want out then maybe they’ll see that it won’t be the end of the world if you quit. It's becoming much more necessary to return to school as mature adults. Some universities are even accepting students without even asking what their academic qualifications are. That‘s right! They describe their courses and admit any interested students right off the street. Maybe your parents don't know this. Make a deal with them. Ask them how many more years of schooling they'd support if you continue now. Ask them if they’re still fin- ancially able. will they support you for the same number of years starting two years from now? I‘d agree if my kids asked me. 1 1 “a--- -_ ___v ___v_ If you’re turned off on school and yet not old enough to quit then I’m afraid you’re beat. This province at one time recognized that some pupils wouldn’t benefit from formal education and they used to let them go out and get a job at 14 years of age. Now whether you like it or not, by Jove, you're going to get it ’til you’re 16 at least. What's to do? You can't refuse to do the assigned work or they‘ll send you to a training school for incorrig- ibles. You might wangle a transfer to Don Head where some exciting practical learning is taking place. If you could arrange transportation to Thornlea then that high school offers some inter- esting academic courses. Other than that there's nothing for it in this county until you're 16. The official opening of Yonge Street, recognizing the fine job of rebuilding done in the past two years by the prov- ince and the town. will be carried out by Minister of Trans- portation and Communication Gordon Carton and Mayor William Lazenby Saturday afternoon in front of the Municipal Building following a monster parade. Making certain that all is in readiness for the gala Is it because you want to “make something of yourself”? If so then you’ve swallowed the educa- tional lie hook, line, and sinker. Whoever first started the big lie that schooling would make you rich, successful, and therefore happy should be exhumed and boiled in oil. They proved that your life's earnings increased proportionately to your years in school. The high school graduate earned more than the elementary graduate and so on. We now have students with doctor's degrees vying for jobs that formerly were given to grade 13 gradu- ates. Many students find that they’ve qualified themselves right out of the market. A student friend of mine couldn‘t get a job until he started lying about his academic background. He got a job when he told them he was a grade 10 graduate. . If you’re only going to school because it's easier than working then good luck to you. With a little careful planning such as failing the odd course and repeating the year; by transferring to other courses and starting over again; by insisting on at least one post-graduate degree, you’ll be able to keep at it ’til you’re at least 30. Then you spend an easy year training to be a teacher and you‘ll be able to look forward to a lifetime of short days, weeks and years. I can see you now admonishing your students to stay in school and learn. I hope your students never ask. “What shall I learn teacher?” What’s It All About?
