Signing this petition shows that you are NOT in favor of the new school for the poor "DSBN ACADEMY" due to open September 2011. A school where poor students will attend in hopes that they will continue onto College or University. It is only available to students who's parents have not attended College or University and have at or below provincial grades. Do the poor need to be separated from their peers in order to reach these goals? Shouldn't our tax payer dollars be put into existing schools that are in need? Would this school take away from existing schools? Many questions have been raised, most importantly how will this type of segregation impact the children who attend? The future is about our children, standing together makes a difference...separating and standing alone will get you no where.

I just saw the number hit one hundred and honestly it feels like such a weird blur because I started this on a whim late at night while staring at my laptop screen. It is really bothering me to think about kids being sorted like objects so I guess I am glad other people are seeing the same issue here.

Who thought this was a good idea?? Labeling kids as the poor students is gonna hurt them way more than it ever helps. Leave them alone.

Fix the schools we already have instead of dumping cash into this experiment. My taxes dont need to go to separating students like this.

This is nothing but segregation pure and simple. Kids need to learn with everyone not be put in a special box based on how much money their parents make. Absolutely ridiculous.

Schooling should be equal for everyone. This just creates more problems.

Stupid idea. All this does is label kids. Keep them all together in the same classes.

My daughter goes to a public school that is falling apart. Why does the board have money for this but not for fixing our roof and heating?
