Arts – Academics – Athletics
The 3 A’s; arts, academics, and athletics. These are the three components of a good education. I hadn’t really thought of it in those terms before. But as soon as I heard another teacher mention this at the workshop I attended two weeks ago, I scribbled it down as a pearl of wisdom. I have…

Thanks for Being Honest
Report card day was on Friday. Parents were supposed to drop in to the school at any time during the day to pick up their child’s report card and have a parent teacher interview. I put in a lot of time and effort to make sure that I was prepared. I had a table, just…

Prime Minister’s Address
Last night, the Prime Minister had a televised national address. He assured us that he is working in the best interest of the country and that the coalition is not. It was short and sweet and right to the point. His speech was to be followed up by one from Stephane Dion. All of the…

Coalition is Bad News
I don’t normally write about politics but I have to today. I don’t like what is happening on Parliament Hill right now and I need to address this issue.
