***加拿大ㄉ教育制度分elementary school(小學8年--從幼稚園大班到7年級)/high school(中學--從8年級到12年級)全部免費受教.
***小學導師帶ㄧ班有2個年級(例如K+1,2年級與3年級,4+5,6+7), 只有上數學課時,才集中同年級ㄉ學生上課.社區中心就設在學校ㄉ某ㄧ角, 還有一位coordinator(社區協調者)專職社區ㄉ活動與學校ㄉ聯繫(例如一個月一次ㄉcouncil meeting 除了校務會議外, 還包括如何幫社區與學校籌湊經費.所以社區協調者也會全程開會和報告)
*** 中學沒有設導師,但有counselor(輔導老師)負責學生ㄉ選課事宜(例如A老師管學生名字a---h,B老師管i----m, 依此類推......)每個科目ㄉ課都在不同教室上課, 每個科目上課時ㄉ同學也都不ㄧ樣.沒有所謂ㄉ同班同學ㄧ起上學5年.很像台灣上大學上課ㄉ方式 (2006/10/26)
***以下是我預計在11月份council meetingㄉ說詞(speech)----
Good evening everybody! First I would like to thank everyone for giving me the chance to explain and complain about my worst day since I settled down Burnaby. I would also like to give our school some suggestions about teacher, student and parents relationships.------------------I remember the morning of Oct. 24th at about 8:00. I had made my son's lunch for him to take to school and had been making breakfast for the three children. The telephone was ringing. I went to answer the phone and thought who would call us so early. It was my youngest daughter's teacher--Mrs. Keeler who told me on the telephone that Alice --my daugher was checked for head lice yesterday by a volunteer mother, so she had to stay home for one day and I'd have to buy the special shampoo to treat her hair.---this call was a shock to me. In my former country's culture, it means my household family has a lack of cleanliness and I as a mother I always do all household chores, so I was feeling shameful if the case was true. And I quickly checked my hair with a big mirror under sunshine and went to Alice's bed to check her hair carefuly after I listened to Mrs. Keeler's advice and hung up the telephone.(I have always know if one person was infested, then other household members will be infested too. Oh, my God, it could be a big problem to me.) But actually, I just found a little dandruff on my and daughter's scalp. I quickly called back to Mrs. Keeler and explained to her our situation and hoped she'd agree with me to bring Alice to school right away for her check again. Because I don't like my children to miss one day's lesson of school by mistake. But this wasn't going to happen with Mrs. Keeler. She said the volunteer mother had been trained and they are good at checking for lice. I went to work in a sad mood at noon and left Alice at home. I complained to my co-worker and she gave me a suggestion to take my daughter to a doctor and get a medical certificate to show the teacher and let her know this was a mistake. I did it. Because I work part time job and I can take my duaghter to the doctor.
I deeply appreciate the volunteer mothers use of their time to check our students. But I also wish to remind the principal that the eggs of lice very closely resemble dandruff and to check more carefull. I guess most parents like me feel that"having head lice means a lack of cleanliness or parenting ability and would be very upset." So this area should be dealt with carefully.
I also appreciate that teachers have to do hard work with students every day. But I also hope our principal reminds them if they want a student to stay home the next day. Please send home a notice and let students bring it to their parents or call their parents well in advance and not at the last minute.
*******To recap: 1. Make sure all volunteers are fully trained. 2. If parents have medical certificates, the childred can come back school right away. 3. Give parents more time to arrange daycare for their childred and not notify that morning. *****Thank you everybody! (2006/11/03)

問與答>>>>
1. I am so proud of you. Did you receive any feed back from the teacher or school after the meeting? from Diana Dowd ANS: thanks for your encourage to me. At 11/14/2006 council meeting, unfortunately my daughter's teacher was present(one teacher has to joins the council meeting per month), I couldn't do anything. At 12/5/2006, I accepted the coordinator's suggestion---I don't said anything, but the coordinator brought up in meeting and said some parents have the problems. Ultimately, my suggestions had passed to each teacher when the teachers held their moring meeting.
2. 此文化差異, 還真不同. 我想你是很棒的, handle 得很好. ANS: 謝謝你的鼓勵，只要多參與小孩的學校(尤其小學)義工行列，我們無形中會得到許多幫助!
