MORE REASONS TO HOLD THE WATERLOO REGION DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD IN CONTEMPT

On January 29/15 Peter Shawn Taylor wrote the following article, published in the Waterloo Region record namely "Public school board finally drops plan to muzzle parents". Par for the course. Instead of cooperating with parents to provide quality education for their children it's all about power and control. The Board desperately need it constantly. It's like a fix. This is the sad state of our educational system here in Waterloo region and most likely the rest of the province.

The Board changed the rules for the express purpose of avoiding any future showdowns where parents have let them know exactly how displeased they were with the Boards' behaviour. This included Delegations having to provide complete transcripta ahead of time presumably so they could be headed off if Board Staff disapproved. Similarily last minute delegations were to be refused and more. As usual the only dissenting voice who spoke against the onerous and ridiculous new rules was Cindy Watson from Cambridge. She is one of the very few bright and honest lights on that Board.
