Be That as It May!: Ten Stupid Things Governments Do to Mess up Edyucaishun

By Roberta Maclise McDonald

This book is recommended for parents who are frustrated and confused by how the public school system excludes them from contributing meaningfully to their children's education. The author recounts many of her experiences in the Public Education System from the inside where she taught in a wide variety of places and grades throughout Western Canada, over a period of 46 years. She recounts the many changes that have taken place in that time frame. Roberta (as she prefers to be called) prides herself on the courage to face difficulties head-on and challenge authority when it appears to be self-serving rather than dedicated to its founding principles. This pursuit has led her to run for public office three times and enter several other fields, some in the private sector, which gives her a different perspective than solely as a public servant. The topics covered range from new trends since the end of W.W.-II to whether uniforms should be instituted to what can be done about bullying. Many authorities are quoted and brought into the discussion, from Statistics Canada to Hilda Neat by. Education is a hot button topic these days, second only to Health Care in Canada, it seems. Roberta wonders whether we are due for some real fundamental changes in the way we teach our children. This book encourages us to open a true dialectic on the subject.
