    I sure hope everyone reads Theresa Durning’s retort to last week “Editors Column”. I hope he (Rick) thanks a teacher because he sure needs to. I worked in Education as an assistant for many years and he couldn’t be more wrong! Their jobs are endless…

      Lana….Theresa nailed it perfectly yesterday ! I particularly liked “”you’d (Rick) be looking for a coffee and a gabfest with your cronies”. How did you know Theresa where and who Rick hangs with each morning? LOL It’s all about C-115 and collective rights.

    Why aren’t all the schools notifying by phone? I received a call from Prince Charles but not Harry J Clarke. I was also wondering why children aren’t getting home work? Why is this considered extra-curricular? This is part of their job and everyone from the teachers to the government is saying this won’t affect our children. They are wrong, it is affecting our children.
