She likely realized theory is not necessarily practice. The reality is this is a dumbing down school that takes the integration of society out of the equation... likely leading to future gang violence based on race as this is all the school is likely to promote.

Its everything PG, this region, and the natives that live here did not need, and we will likely one day regret... it cost us many good rural schools for this bit of social engineering... not something a come lately from Toronto would understand.

Resignations seem to be an epidemic in these last few days. Good paying but thankless jobs maybe the reason. Kinda like saying to yerself, "They don't pay me enough to put up with all this crap". I wonder how it is gonna end?

She didn't like living here.

Harbinger--you hit the nail on the head. Thankless jobs. Teaching is the most thankless job I ever had. My wife (retired for 3 years)has been a teacher since 1964 and it has taken a toll. Most teachers go through life just doing what they do and not letting it get to them. Others get another job. I would venture to say that 50% fall out after 5 to 10 years. That is not a stat--it's just a guess. The starting pay sucks and for the responsibility carried, the renumeration is far from adequate.

Don't forget, she was an administrator and as such, she may have never been a teacher. Admin does not belong to the BCTA.

Best thing that has happened to SD57 in a long time.

Dozens of teachers and teachers aids have been removed (&/or) chose to remove themselves from positions with aboriginal students because of the negative pressures put upon them by Henay's heavy handed approach to aboriginal learning issues.

Many aboriginal students that had great relationships with specialty aids and teacher aids that were of non aboriginal decent, lost their aids in favor of an aboriginal aid that knew little to nothing of these students history or progress. Many or these kids have taken a step back in academic and social progress.

There has been tremendous pressure put on teachers and administrators in the development of this choice school. Anyone that opposed Henay's views and methods was ostracized by her far reaching influence.

Hate to see how much we paid to get rid of her. I don't think she left on her own accord.

With as many 'enemies' (for lack of a better word) that she made in Prince George - no wonder she didn't like it here. She brought it upon herself. Good riddance! She won't be missed.

Well put opine. To slam dunk a new idea into the system? Remove all that is familiar and force change overnight? The idea of the school may have been a long time coming and a truly wonderful concept, but it's reality maybe needed more of a Baby Steps introduction.....otherwise, was it just history repeating itself?

Some one mentioned many many many years ago that our provincial (any party) could solve all the problems concerning schools. But they won't. Schools problems only exist to create election issues. Think about it. Being old makes me very biased about our present system.
