Dear David:
In the spirit of the Olympics & the renewed "Network Battle IV The Night" between James Douglas Muir Leno & David Michael Letterman, I propose the following. Why do we not have students do a daily talkshow style show available on the internet about education? Guests could include fellow students, parents, support staff, Trustees, administrators. Anyone really who has an interest in education. Set it up in the talkshow format & have the kids film it, edit it (with drama teacher oversight), be the hosts & provide the guests.
Set it up in the format of a late night show with a desk & chairs. Film it daily from say the broadcast studios of the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, the Centre IV Education at Kingsway, and at the schools themselves. Make one big production, or produce multiple shows for multiple schools. Make it available at both the Catholic & Public School Board websites as well as at the Government of Alberta website IV Culture & Community Spirit & Education.
Make it fun for the kids, tie in a band, so that music students can sit in & play a few tunes. Gaining valuable live broadcast experience for later in life. Let the art students design the sets & clothing. Let the drama students produce little plays/vignettes IV the shows. Also, make the shows if individualized available on the websites of the schools that produce them for easy access by the family & friends of the students. In this way, the school gains maximum exposure & possibly an overall student enrolment increase & therefore a commensurate funding increase. Thus making the threat of a closure less likely.
