aGENT Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 There's no problem with it, I very very rarely post in the hockey forums myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 CDC is a very popular message board. All sorts use it as a platform to send out important messages to all sorts of people. If a person wants to visit, frequent the off-topic forum, and not say a darn thing about hockey, then he/she is welcome to do so. I don't mind it. I appreciate all the useful information being filtered for me and sent to this forum. For educational and entertainment purposes, definitely. On this forum we can discuss everything that is not hockey. From JT to the Boston bombings to Daft Punk. What EXACTLY is the problem with that?

TOMapleLaughs Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 While 'forum' is contained in forum.canucks.com, CDC has been called many other things as well; A community, message boards, etc. While the Off Topic 'Forum' has always been called that, if i recall. CDC might've been created for hockey fans, but it's popularity has attracted all sorts of people to come in to discuss all sorts of things non-hockey-related. If a person wants to post appropiate material in an 'Off-Topic forum' on any message board, let lone a hockey one, that's totally fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetcoaster Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 It seems the Conservative barbs at Justin Trudeau's lack of qualifications - he is only a substitute drama teacher - have angered his colleagues - his fellow drama teachers who have come out swinging... Here is the CODE (Council of Drama and Dance Teachers of Ontario) press release... ummmmm should should that not be CODDE - hey it is only spelling, eh? Response to the Conservative's Remarks About Justin Trudeau's Work as a Drama Teacher: CODE members, Many of you have inquired about CODE's response to the conversative's remarks about Justin Trudeau's ability to be a leader based on his work history which included two years as a drama teacher. Below is CODE's official statement to the media about these remarks. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Council of Ontario Drama and Dance Educators (CODE) The True Value of the Drama Teacher Toronto, Ontario, April 2013 Suggesting that those who teach Drama are unworthy of leadership, or somehow lesser than those who lead is ignorant of the true value of drama in developing young people. The Council of Ontario Drama and Dance Educations is not affiliated with any political party and generally does not comment on federal politics as education is a provincial matter. However, we do, as an organization resent the negative connotations of the remark about Justin Trudeau’s experience as a drama teacher. Drama is a vital part of the curriculum at both the elementary and secondary school level. Participation in drama engages students and provides a powerful way for them to express their knowledge, ideas and to explore their understanding of the world around them. As Sir Ken Robinson says, “Creativity is as important now in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status.” “The educators teaching this subject are highly skilled and trained. They are leaders in their schools and communities, developing our leaders of tomorrow, they are not ‘in over their heads.’ Our organization supports this profession with pride and passion,” states Brooke Charlebois, President of the Ontario Council of Dance and Drama Educators (CODE) Drama is one of four mandatory arts subjects in Ontario. The province of Ontario Arts Curriculum outlines that: "[students] can identify common values, both aesthetic and human, in various works of art, and in doing so, increase their understanding of others. The arts can also encourage students to be responsible and critically literate members of society and citizens of the world. Students can learn to approach issues and present ideas and points of view in new ways and to challenge perceptions, while engaging their audience." “Drama in fact, is a critical subject area that provides multiple tools and skills to help students to succeed in our very complex and ever changing modern world. They develop imagination, creativity, emotional literacy, communication skills, problem solving, and other critical thinking skills. All of these are essential skills for the 21st century citizen. Current education research demonstrates over and over that we need our future thinkers to be creative, critical, effective problem solvers who are process driven, flexible, open to change and able to create change themselves. This issue is not just about education but in fact our social, political and economic future,” says Charlebois. The skills students learn in drama class are easily transferable to their experiences in the real world. Those who teach these skills are themselves leaders in education and our communities and should be respected for their role. They are contributing to our children’s welfare and the welfare of our future economy. Who we are: CODE is the Ontario provincial subject association for dance and drama. Our goal, as stated in our bylaws is to "encourage and support the development of drama and dance in education in Ontario". To do this, wePromote strong arts education in schools and communities across OntarioProvide a forum a forum for the exchange of ideas among those involved in drama and dance in educationProvide leadership and advocacy in drama and dance in educationProvide professional development in those involved in drama and dance in educationCooperate with existing arts agencies and education organizations.
