Here are some of the comments from
our MLA's re: Take an MLA to School Day:
"It was great to experience the teachers' and administrators'
professional enthusiasm and the bright and friendly attitudes of the
students.""The principal and
teachers were all excellent. It was great to see just how fast
paced and go, go, go it is all day long."
"I had a wonderful experience.
The school is very well run...complete with a strong discipline
mandate, extraordinary special needs functions and a tremendous
teaching staff. The students were a blast to be around and I
got a true feeling as to what goes on in the run of an ordinary
school day."
It was an awesome day. The
teachers are miracle workers."
I was very impressed with the staff
and their dedication to the students. I now have an even
greater appreciation for the teachers in our province."

enlightening experience for me."

children are very interested in learning and were very respectful of
their teachers and classmates."

a daily basis."

had a lot of respect for teachers, but I have a whole lot more now."
"I got to see what is happening with
inclusion. This was new information for me."
"This was a day that was time well
spent. The teachers, educational assistants and volunteers are
going flat out. I'm ...used to working 14 hour days in all
types of weather and conditions - I was beat after following the teachers around
for the day."
"The techniques used in today's
classrooms are excellent, well executed and really get the students
involved."
"The classroom makeup was an
eye-opener - special needs, gifted, language challenges."
"Teaching is multi-tasking at its
best."

well the staff do. They work together to deliver a great
education for our children."

requires a great number of social skills and great dedication."

in every school."
