: Growing up in Montreal in the 1940s and 1950s, I am pretty sure Canadian history was as close as we got to “civics.” It was of no interest whatsoever, probably because Canada and Quebec were, for me, nonentities; Montreal was everything.
I understand efforts to find more effective ways to engage students. A suggestion to build civics on social goals that have already interested students is a good one. However, it would not have worked for me. In retrospect, my dominant orientation has always been to understand barriers facing individuals in need. This often meant engaging relevant non-governmental organizations, professional associations or communities, but always with a focus on making relationships work better for individuals in need.
My relevant skills were servant leadership at the grassroots level. I’m afraid that, for this student, the civics of active citizenship would still have been of no interest.Letters to the Editor should be exclusive to The Globe and Mail.
