HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES AND REFLECTIONS
Do you remember those days in high school Industrial Arts (IA) for us boys and Home Ec class for the girls. Sure has changed, eh? Did you recall having to write the Provincial Departmental exams for entrance to University?
With just a C+ average, the university would still often open its doors. Today such a possibility would be considered a joke. Mostly those who can afford it and earned the highest scores are accepted. Some suggest it has become an industry that churns out degrees, plus the cost of a few textbooks can be higher than the total tuition fees in the sixties.
As well the basic living costs for many are out of this world. Some believe the system these days is driven less by knowledge than ambition. Such by degree sadly so much of reality today has unfurled.
