What can parents do to help their children succeed in school?
Published: 18/04/2012 12:04:00 PM - Author: none'Most parents know, instinctively, that spending more time with their children
and being actively involved in their education will give their children a good
head-start in life. But as many parents have to juggle competing demands at
work and at home, there never seems to be enough time. Often, too, parents

And they also said it’s hard to work with Ottawa if they don’t come to the meetings.
Fresh after the Crown-First Nations gathering in Ottawa and a sweeping report by a national panel on how to reform aboriginal education, provincial and territorial ministers met in Toronto Wednesday for their annual working group summit...'
Classroom assistants respond to education industry demands
Published: 18/04/2012 11:06:00 AM - Author: none'...Trustees decided late Wednesday that 430 of 493.5 education assistant jobs should be cut in order to generate about $22-million in savings for next school year. The board will also be hiring 406 early childhood educators who are required to staff full-day kindergarten classrooms.
Many trustees said they only supported the cuts because of a unique retraining program developed in partnership between the TDSB, Ontario’s Ministry of Education, Humber College and the union that represents education assistants...'
