This Blog will discuss politics, government, corruption, police, S.I.U., courts, education, min. of attorney general, min. of labour, v.o.i.c.e. and other current and past events of interest to concerned citizens. In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for. Their influence on me however has been primarily environmental (and personal) and this is therefore a disclaimer that all words posted on this Blog/Website are mine and I alone am responsible for them. I say this with the greatest respect and affection to my friends.

MORE REASONS TO HOLD THE WATERLOO REGION DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD IN CONTEMPT



On January 29/15 Peter Shawn Taylor wrote the following article, published in the Waterloo Region record namely "Public school board finally drops plan to muzzle parents". Par for the course. Instead of cooperating with parents to provide quality education for their children it's all about power and control. The Board desperately need it constantly. It's like a fix. This is the sad state of our educational system here in Waterloo region and most likely the rest of the province.

The Board changed the rules for the express purpose of avoiding any future showdowns where parents have let them know exactly how displeased they were with the Boards' behaviour. This included Delegations having to provide complete transcripta ahead of time presumably so they could be headed off if Board Staff disapproved. Similarily last minute delegations were to be refused and more. As usual the only dissenting voice who spoke against the onerous and ridiculous new rules was Cindy Watson from Cambridge. She is one of the very few bright and honest lights on that Board.
