Canadian History and Reading Writing Skills

usual suspects: They don’t teach Canadian history in school, People have more important things on their minds, and other ways to pass the buck from ourselves, according to The Chronicle Herald. No reasonable critic of education can deny that today students could have better reading and writing skills. In explanation, or perhaps as an excuse, the usual suspects are trotted out for blame. I wrote the Nova Scotia entry for the ‘Encyclopedia of Local History’ in 2013. It seemed to me that people developing reading skills could do worse than read material that informed them about the record of their community, their province and their country. When answering the question about the teaching of history in the public school curriculum, I was embarrassed at how little there was to report. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
