President Hunter said it would get the people and the community as a whole more involved and also give a better voice to the student.
Local bargaining, which would involve only the college in question, would also significantly lower the cost to all colleges. President Hunter told a board of governors meeting Sept. 30.

The college that fails in this competition may well suffer from disruptions in the academic process and consequently, lose the confidence of its students. Hunter said. Local bargaining would enable students to participate in the process and to be the ultimate arbitrators of the end results. If there was a strike at a college due to poor labor relations many of its students would have the alternative of

searching. This infringement on human rights is not only dangerous physically but the psychological repercussions can be devastating. To instil fear in a child could affect the child’s attitude towards schools, teachers, and education for life. It teaches children that violence is an acceptable method of
problem solving.
And what about
the teachers and principals who practise corporal punishment? Does the fact that they are in a position of authority exempt them from the possibility of mental instability? Are parents guaranteed that what the disciplinarian is doing is for the child’s own good, not to relieve his or her own frustations? Corporal punishment is allowed by the Ministry of Education and the ministry leaves the decision of its use to each board. The Toronto board of education does not allow it and if a teacher or principal in any way abuses a child the principal is dismissed. This is right. This is good. This is
