Two things that have continued to drive me crazy over the past ten years of teaching is, first, how little we expect our children to know before they matriculate, and secondly, how once they do have that certificate, how many believe that their educational “experience” has finally come to an end. In this age of “helicopter parenting”, a polite way to describe parents who fight their children’s educational battles, this sense of “graduation” by the child is viewed as a success. Moreover, it gives false testimony to those who now believe their children are fully prepared to manage their own lives and contribute to the betterment of society.

What with our federal budget now gaining focus from the opposition Conservatives, one would think that a federal election was to be held mere weeks from now. The number does sound “scary”, mind you – “half a trillion dollars and growing to $1.3 trillion in the next five years” – but the problem is, not only are most people not paying attention, but they just don’t seem to care all that much. “It’s a ‘number’,” is the attitude – “Big deal.” Still, I have to laugh at the fearmongering the Conservatives are already employing in their attempt to start an economic dialogue with Canadian voters.
