\nRegarding Mr. Eustace\u2019s comments of Aug. 6 \u201cKudos to reporters\u201d emphasizing the English School Board\u2019s creation of an absurd history examination whereby Quebec is declared a nation. <\/p>\n

It is best to get one\u2019s facts right before misinforming the public about what the English School Boards are responsible for. <\/p>\n

Acknowledging Quebec as a Nation would not be within a school board\u2019s mandate nor would it be advisable to teach content without the blessing of the Ministry of Education. Commissioners do not have control over the curriculum.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuebec is a nation\u201d is a phrase that has been in textbooks. I can attest to this reality. Taken out of context, as it has by Mr. Eustace, it is a piece of information twisting the minds of our youth. However as part of a 2010 Secondary 4 history exam (a government driven exam), is it considered propaganda? Or is it a legitimate question? Is it true or false or both true and false? <\/p>\n

In my opinion it all depends on how the teacher explains the concept in the classroom and how it is related to social trends and modern issues. This is definitely a topic that will evoke discussion and promote critical thinking concerning the changing fabric of our political reality.<\/p>\n

The Federal Government in 2006 passed a motion recognizing the people, les \u201cQu\u00e9b\u00e9cois\u201d as a nation \u201cwithin\u201d a united Canada. Does this concept not deserve recognition in the classroom? <\/p>\n

The mandate of the Council of Commissioners is to oversee the budget and its distribution to our schools and centers while constantly trying to improve the services provided to our clientele. <\/p>\n

Instead of revisiting the year 2010, let\u2019s focus on how we can make our schools a better place to learn now and in the future and have the freedom to discuss and debate social affairs and put aside our own limited vision, fears and ideologies.<\/p>\n
