Teachers note difference between nations’ school systems
by TKKK Y M A R TIN
During the past two weeks a third
grade class at Welches School not
only gained a substitute teacher, but
got an international experience all in
one package.
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 ’’

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
