Hammer time?

Dear Editor:

As the summer holidays approach for Ontario students, our provincial minister of education will have ample time to institute his new plans for our schools.

Stephen Lecce stated he wants to get back to the ‘basics” of reading, writing and arithmetic. Regardless of the fact that cursive writing has not been taught in Ontario schools for several years, Mr. Lecce should consider a few mandatory courses in morality.

Another curriculum inclusion would be “order and discipline”.

Finally, Mr. Lecce wants to eliminate vaping and cell phone use in our schools . Without great expense, the solution to the elimination of these devices can be found in aisle four of every Home Hardware store in our province – it’s called a hammer .
