Ruth Coleman arrived in Sandy in early February from Victoria, BC., for a nine-day teacher exchange “ I had a certain ’in-the-fog' feeling the first day because everything was so different,” she said ’T v e really had no problems with the class, no more than a normal class Kids always test a substitute teacher ” During her visit. Coleman felt a definite difference in the way American schools teach as opposed to Canadian schools “ It's really interesting There is so much difference,” she said “There is a difference in the way you prepare the work, and the organiza tion of the day is different. “ You have four and a half hours of lessons Out of that come two recesses and a lunch, and your school year is shorter by DAN DILLON “ We have five hours of lessons In cluded are the recesses and we have close to 200 school days Also, we don't have a cafeteria in Canada," Coleman said “ Either the child eats the lunch packed for him in the classroom or he goes home for lunch." Along with the regular lessons, the Welches class learned a few bits and pieces of French “ They have learned to count from one to 10, recite the days of the week and sing a little French song," said Coleman The visiting teacher said she felt good about her stay in Oregon. Ruth ( oleman “ The people here, the parents and staff, have really welcomed me," she said “Th/ school sent me flowers and everybody’s been friendly and helpful. I ’ve been in five different schools and have never been treated so kindly ’’ Denture Problems? See a specialist! REUNES & REPAIRS WHILE YOU WAIT A Welches School teacher spent the past two weeks in Victoria, B.C., and came home with a good feeling about the mountain school where she's taught the past five years " It was marvelous,” third-grade teacher Kathy Dunbar said of Canada " It makes our school look really good " Canadian teachers face a longer work day and Dunbar felt the ef fects. " I was really tired," she said “ I think their teachers are all really tired " The teachers handle all their own subjects including music and physical education, something not done here, she said There is also no afternoon recess for the students. W hen she spoke w ith her substitute, Ruth Coleman, after returning, the Canadian teacher em pathized with her “ She had a marvelous tim e,” Dun bar said. "She felt like she really had a light load and the first day she knew I'd be tired " She said the Canadian school system emphasizes more board and seat work in the classroom and less use of paper as they do all assignments m a notebook That, she said, results in less parent contact and involvement “ F’y general impression is that they are behind us. but headed in the sam e d ire c tio n as A m e ric a n schools,” Dunbar said Cloverdale Elem entary, where she visited, had a shortage of audio visual equipment—only one movie p ro jecto r, slide p rojector and filmstrip projector, and just two overhead projectors " I never did find the record player." she said " D u n b a r’s trip was arranged Kathy Dunbar through the University of Portland where she is taking graduate red on the West Coast courses Dr Leo Leonard had ar Now Dunbar is planning a return ranged similar exchanges in Ohio, visit in June to show the three slide but this was the first time it occur shows she made during her stay LES SCHWAB I "Don't Sit ' Out These reat Prices’'., ...AND FREE ^\BEEF!"
