It’s the pot calling the kettle black

Re True agenda was revealed, Letter March 8 I live five kilometres from the largest landfill in Ontario that accepts 40 to 50 truckloads of Toronto garbage daily. Top that off with over 100 turbines that I see every day from my backyard that serve as monuments to Dalton McGuinty’s madness that needlessly cost Ontario power consumers $39 billion for no return.

Now Kathleen Wynne is planning another three pinwheel plantations in Chatham-Kent to compound the problem.

And William Lynn has the nerve to call someone in Prince Edward County a NIMBY? He should take a long look in the mirror. Dave Robert, Erieau, Ont. would “strengthen quality.”

This runs contrary to everything I know as a parent and a researcher. Heather Whitty, The Offord Centre for Child Studies, McMaster University To me the answer to the question of this story is yes! Most definitely.

I cannot decide which frustrates me more: that the merging of age groups is even being considered or that it did not come as a shock to hear about it.

Because this is not a new story, the government has always looked for ways to penny pinch. They continue to put forth these ridiculous ideas even though they place the quality of education and the safety of the students at risk.

As a swim instructor, I have worked with all age groups and I cannot imagine teaching a 12-month and an 18-monthold together. They are incredibly different and I would be afraid to step into the classroom.

I hope for the sake of the teachers, infants and their parents, that this proposal is not approved. Emilie DeCaen, Toronto
