AtPoint Grey, some Grade 10 and 11 studentshave been given threefree hours a dayfor learning attheir own speed. They can use thetime for reading, discussing, visiting alibrary or other learning resources, in or out of school. Cer- tain study topics are stated. but the students are on their own - though guidancefrom th:: teacher is avail- able if desired. “Theprogram has obvious dan- gers.” commentsLou Greenwood. head of theschool’s social studies department. “A childpursuing his own likes mayleave huge gaps in his knowledge that he will never fill. The Grade 10’s frequently get tired of topica and flit to something else.They get a wide butshallow sampling of everything.Some have askedto be withdrawnfrom the program;others have been asked to leave if they’rejust goofing off.” Some of the students in the program agree. “I haven’t done a thing since September,”said one boy. “I just don’thave the self-discipline to work in this kind of a program. I’m notresponsible enough.” As far asStoffman is concerned thisdoes notnegate the need for a freer,more individualized approach tolearning. “Most students haven’t hadthe chance developto the capacity to learn on their own,” he points out. “They’vealways been spoon-fed and you can’t expect them totake over when they arrive at highschool.

One of these is Steve Hawkins, a student at Churchill.“You can sidestep the triviain the system and work with itsbasic goodness,” Hawkins says. “You can’t have a system that works for every individual. You say you’re notchallenged; can’tyou find your ownchallenges?

4 Costs one-fifth less-that'swhat! Sunday is the put-your-feet-up-and-relax day. That's why we made it bargain day for phoning. All day Sunday long distance calls cost around 20f;, less than on weekdays - with a maximum charge of only $1.95 for a three- minute, station-to-station call between any two points in Canada. This day- longrate reduction is particularlyconvenient when phoning relatives or friends in eastern Canada, with its three to four hour time diferential. The same reduced charges apply each weekday evening after 6 p.m. So why bother to write, tobother especially on lazy Sunday? RRlTlSh' CULU..6/R TELFP4UlE CUMP&ffY RETURN POSTAGE GUARANTEED
