Thank you, Madam Chair. Maybe I was not as clear. I was not saying that they would have a class here. I think it was keeping the teachers and the infrastructure to teach the small communities in Inuvik, and so I am happy. It kind of goes to our other, though I do not know if we have gotten there, the regional, making sure that stuff stays in the region and is not in Yellowknife, so I am glad of that.
The other one is, the same with my colleague, again, as a past regional chair of the High Arctic, every single board meeting that I sat at, it came up, "social passing." The inclusive schooling specialist hated it, and she would try to tell us the definition and ensure that we call it "inclusive schooling," but everybody outside who is not in that profession, it's "social passing," and any of us who have grown up in the North know that it has not always been like that, and so we don't understand it. The smaller communities even have a harder time understanding it. So I think, as we move kids along, and this is where I found that in the communities that were smaller, like in my region, the Tsiigehtchic, Sachs Harbour, Paulatuk, the smaller communities, they could not understand why we could not put high school teachers teaching high school courses, but they did not realize that, their kids, they were 16, 17, but they were not working at that level.
So I think we have a lot of work to do, and we try to do it as DEAs, but even with the DEAs, sometimes they had a hard time understanding. It's more of a comment. Under this, as part of your moving forward, it's going to be really important with the small communities outside: how do we communicate this, and how do we have the teachers understand that they don't understand it, so, when they are working and they are moving kids along, they really need to have that dialogue, that "passing" and "placing" doesn't make sense to them. It's almost like you need to say: they did not pass because they did not meet, they are not at this grade level, so it's up to you. We will have the discussion. We can move them with their peers, or they could stay a year in this grade. You know, it's almost that basic, that I think we have to make sure that they understand because we use all these terms. I know, as a health provider, I use all these acronyms all the time. Even my notes to my husband and my kids, they finally got used to shorthand because that is all I am used to, so I think that is what I think we have to make sure we do when we are teaching that. Thank you, Madam Chair.
