Education shame B y F r a n k l in R u b in s t e in

_________________________ ___________________

With picket lines mobilized across the province, 126,000 Ontario teach­ ers are striking against the introduction o f B ill 160. But what the rest ot Ontario and Canada must realize is that the teachers are confronting a much larger issue — a fight against government dictatorial powers.

When M ik e Harris’ provincial government introduced B ill 160, the Conservative party's intention was to reform Ontario’ s ailing educational

in subtle and not so subtle form s, even in our ‘progressive’ university environment.

I f we, the open-minded majori­

system. The bill outlined plans to cut an additional $1 billion o f public educa­ tion funding (from the previous $800 m illion) and secure exclusive authority over such educational areas as class size, student/teacher ratio, preparation time and staffing clauses.

Harris and former Minister o f Education John Snobelen initiated the bill to increase “ education quality improvement.’’ The legislation would authorize the Ontario Cabinet total control over m ajor educational issues; worse, it would exclude teachers from this process. A s Snobelen so smugly described it, they were committed to “ create a crisis in education.” The enactment is just part o f Harris’ Common Sense Revolution and the cutting o f Ontario’ s burgeoning debt.

Som ehow. Harris' common sense has been replaced by an illogical method o f reasoning. Notably, Ontario's “ out o f line" educational funding has decreased at an alarmingly quick rate. In a government survey o f 63 prominent North American educational jurisdictions, Ontario ranked fortyninth — just six years ago, Ontario enjoyed a 13th place ranking. Harris must concede that cuts is not a suitable method which w ill halt this trend.

Hams hopes to change the teaching requirements for non-teaching jobs.

N ow , traditional positions can be filled by non-certified instructors. Ham s refers to an ailing system — instead, he is killing the patient.

Harris’ refined education strategy w ill inevitably limit teacher prepara­ tion time. This time was previously used for such valuable activities such as planning, marking, parent consultation, individual student attention, and other extracurricular activities. Cuts will restrict teachers’ abilities to attend to students’ individual needs and will eliminate essential student feedback.

The government is comfortable conduetuing classes with students num­ bering in the high thirties or forties. Unfortunately, it is intensely disconcert­ ing to envision a grade 11 English classroom running effectively with forty students. Harms should try marking the independent study units with his new

But something strange happened — nothing. Johnson took inconsequen­ tial steps towards building the broken bridge between the tw o groups; instead, the factions had difficulty setting meeting times. Even worse, Harris and Johnson admitted to plans o f eduction cutting exceeding $5(X) million.

In recent weeks, what has been neglected in the majority o f Bill 160’ s analysis is the government’ s attempt to gain the unilateral power to determine students’ learning conditions and teachers' working conditions. Denying teachers the ability to participate in educational funding decisions removes meaningful debate o f educational issues. Without this essential check and

The outcry from many o f Ontario’ s students and parents w ill be loud in the upcoming days. Some may argue that an illegal strike is not the way to teach our children. Others w ill claim that only students are the real losers o f this strike — they are the ones sitting at home without an education.
