Social Studies 11 Why Shoot the Teacher?

It's the winter of 1935 and Max Brown is newly arrived in Willowgreen, Saskatchewan - a rural Canadian prairie town - on his first teaching job in a one room schoolhouse. He quickly realizes that this is not his dream situation: the winter is harsher than he's ever experienced, he's living in the basement of the school, the older of his students treat him poorly and his wages are paltry if and when he ever does get paid. He also feels physically and emotionally isolated. He would leave this position but he doesn't have the finances to do so. There, he bonds primarily with two townsfolk. Harris Montgomery sees Max as an obvious choice to espouse the politics of socialism. And Alice Field sees in Max a person like herself: being a British war bride, she is an alien in a harsh environment. Alice is in an unsatisfying marriage and turns to Max for emotional support. As Max goes through his first year in Willowgreen, he learns to understand life in a rural prairie town, both from the viewpoint of his students and for his own benefit. 

 

Viewing of this video is not required but if you are at all interested in this well done period piece, Why Shoot the Teacher? is an excellent portrayal of life on the Canadian Prairies during The Great Depression.

The following announcement has been issued by the North Vancouver Detachment of the RCMP:

Marijuana - Federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act

​The North Vancouver RCMP Youth Intervention Unit would like to remind students of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act in Canada. The recent change to some laws in several American States regarding marijuana has caused some confusion in British Columbia.

Marijuana is illegal in Canada and is listed in Schedule 2 of the Federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. This means that unless you have authorization to use medical marijuana, you cannot possess, sell, or produce marijuana without risking a criminal penalty.

 

It is important to understand police powers of arrest and search. The sight of a marijuana pipe/bong and/or the smell of fresh/burnt marijuana can often provide police with the grounds to make an arrest and conduct a search.

 

School District #44 has a zero tolerance for students being under the influence of marijuana and/or being in possession of any marijuana and/or paraphernalia. In addition, the school has powers to search and seize drugs and drug related items based on their responsibility to provide a safe learning environment for all students.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your School Liaison Officer.
