In my fourth year of teaching at the Polyvalent School in Carleton, Quebec, I began to think seriously about the nature of the school system in Canada and in Quebec in particular. And of course, the thought of writing a book on the subject came to mind. I’m not qualified to write this book ...I mean ...I’m not a college Prof, a psychologist or a sociologist. I was involved in the school system for nearly 17 years as a student and for 6 years as a teacher.
During those six years I refused to do what I considered harmful to students. I quit teaching after six years despite a very generous offer from my principal. He offered me a position of Principal’s Assistant with double the salary. I declined his offer and I resigned on the spot. I could no longer endure the policy of the school board or the coercive attitude of the school system.view less
