Tim Hudak Will Put Students’ Education First

Ontario PC Government Will Invest $2 billion More in Education, Restore Fall Report Cards
StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-SCARBOROUGH—Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak welcomed students and teachers back to school today, and outlined his party’s commitment to enhance the great opportunity-builder that is a quality education for all Ontario students. Hudak was joined by Ontario PC Candidate for Scarborough Centre, Carol Williams, and fellow parents Khatija Vohra and Ayub Vohra-Bangi along with their children Aasif (7), Safiya (4) and Suhayb (1) for his announcement.

Hudak grew up in a family of teachers: both of his parents and his sister worked as teachers.  In addition, it is a milestone week for Hudak and his wife Debbie, as their 3-year old daughter, Miller, attends her first day of Kindergarten.   Hudak said he will get the focus of Ontario’s education system back on student learning, free teachers to teach, and give parents the tools they need to follow their child’s progress. These commitments include:Giving parents more information in a timely manner by bringing back the fall report card, which Dalton McGuinty eliminated in December 2009, and posting standardized tests and results online for parents to review;


Giving teachers the discretion to do what they know is best in the classroom, like banning cell phones, teaching phonics, and freeing them from the pressure to inflate grades; Making sure as much money as possible is spent on children in the classroom, not school board administration.  These initiatives are part of an Ontario PC commitment to invest an additional $2 billion annually in education by the end of its first term.  On October 6th, Ontario families face a clear choice between Dalton McGuinty – whose increasingly bizarre priorities like scrapping the fall report card, calling for cell phones in schools, teaching sex ed to six year olds, and banning chocolate milk are out-of-touch with families’ needs – and a Tim Hudak government that will ensure our education system puts students first.  QUOTES: “Public education is the great opportunity-builder, giving kids from every Ontario family an equal start in life and the opportunity to succeed.  I know this because I grew up in a family of teachers and the importance of education was discussed everyday at the dinner table.”--Ontario PC Leader, Tim Hudak “Dalton McGuinty scrapped the fall report card which means parents do not get any report on their child’s progress from June to February. An Ontario PC government will bring back the fall report card.”--Ontario PC Leader, Tim Hudak QUICK FACTS: Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak comes from a family of educators. His father was a high school principal and his mother and sister were also teachers.

Last year, at a time when 32% of children in Grades 3 and 6 failed to reach the standard in reading, writing, and math, Dalton McGuinty secretly introduced a controversial new sex ed curriculum for children as young as six years old, without consulting with parents.  Dalton McGuinty arbitrarily eliminated fall report cards in December 2009.
