Joseph Brean very recently wrote an excellent article about a school in crisis in Mississauga, Ont. The substance of his article was a cri de coeur about rampant violence in the hallways, threats against staff, and the school board’s heavy-handed response to a teacher who dared to speak out. It is a frightening account.
The article included comments from a Peel District School Board spokesperson. It is these remarks I’d like to deal with, particularly the jargon-infested, warm-dough language, non-substance reply to Brean’s questions.
