Proposition No. 4: extending the powers of the Children's Advocate to the schools ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Author: gabriela aguirre, gabia@escape.ca Submitted on: 23 Oct 2000 To be discussed till: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have already gone with this proposition to our local MLA Greg Dewar of Selkirk. In a conflict with the local school division I realized that there is no defender of children's rights. This position exists in other provinces and it would make a real difference if someone would be listening to their concerns. Right now we have a system in place that advocates for methods of discipline that are 30 years behind.
