Strait Regional School Board

Strait Regional School Board: Over the past couple of years, as an outside observer close to the school review process, I have had a chance to ponder the actions of the Strait Regional School Board, the parents, and the provincial government with, at times, utter disbelief, utter amazement and utter disappointment at the behaviour exhibited by some, according to The Chronicle Herald. My daughter will attend Tamarac Education Centre for her first year in the fall. Her world is far different than the one in which I was educated. For her to have success in her chosen career, whatever that career may be, she will need to compete with people from Beijing, Moscow, London, and Christchurch. We must be able, with declining enrolment and funding, to offer world-class preparation to our children. No corner must be cut. No child can be shortchanged and The main focus of the school review process must be the future of our children. When I attended public school in the 1970s and 80s, I was being prepared to compete for employment with people from Sydney, Halifax, Moncton, etc. I received a wonderful education and a rock-solid foundation that has allowed me to be a lifelong learner. My education has never ended. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
