When it did, those who could afford it would withdraw their children from the schools and place them in private ones. The others would complain more about paying school taxes and “will lash out with more rabble rousing tactics in order to get attention." All of these things were going on and the educational system was suffering. “While damage to students has been. I hope, minimal as yet, this damage will increase," Mrs. McLean said. People talked about the need to get back to the basics. â€" “insulting every teacher in the country by doing so" â€" but the fact was that teachers had never stopped teaching the basics. “They are only teaching them dif- ferently . . . " Mrs. McLean said. “If trustees malign administrators and attack the teachers‘ programs. then good teachers will leave the system and the only ones to come here will be those other systems won't have," Mrs. McLean said. Mutual support By the same token, administrators must support teachers, and teachers must not attack trustees and ad- ministrators. So much had been said and written about education that wasn't right. that people didn‘t know what to believe and so ended up believing the worst. she said. There was a job to be done, Mrs. McLean said. and they had to all do it together Administrators, trustees and most of all, teachers, had to “tell people what we are doing in the schools."

It was the best to have what they did reflected in the press. The trustees had to remember they weren’t accountable to the school system. but to the people who elected them. Pastor is away Joy Horton of East Gwillimbury said she saw communication in three ways: from the school, the board and the trustees. It wasn't the responsibility of the trustees to commend the schools; it was the role of the principal and in- formation officer. Donald Cameron of Vaughan said they should be providing time for in- formal discussions with members of the public. Often, the board only responded to the public when there was a delegation. Harry Bowes of Whitchurch- Stouffville said he sometimes wondered whether their sessions shouldn't consist of a 15-minute meeting and a four-hour coffee break. Board chairman Doug Allen of Rich- mond Hill said that there might be a lot ofother services they would have to cut as well. “One of the ways of deter- mining is by discussing it this way.” civic corner Trustee Keith Hargrave of Georgina Township said he couldn‘t see the importance of a prolonged discussion on communication â€" the board had allowed until nine o‘clock from the beginning of the meeting â€" and walked out. He returned when the discussion was over. Extensive reporting Trustee Chris McMonagle of Markham said she had never seen so much press coverage of board work as this year. and thought it was partly due to the information officer. Mrs. McLean said she had wanted to let people know through the board publication. Contact. but had limited space recently because of budget reports. However, teachers must be given recognition and parents must know about the good work they did. she said. “But I can't do the job alone. I need your help,“ Mrs. McLean said. “and 1 need the help of teachers. Without this, my efforts are futile. And my job becomes an insupportable burden." Any plan for better communications was futile without them all “pulling together for a common objective. the good and welfare of the children in York county.“ she said. Mrsi McLean said. and use the “unlimited resources" of their staff. But they must be used wisely and well in order to produce. But none of that would be possible so long as they threw “poisonous darts at those who have served the children of this country long and well."
