Even though both my parents had attended English school in Quebec, I was never initially sent a letter of elegibility. The proper forms were filled out but I guess had been "lost" somewhere. Anyway, at the beginning of the next school year, I found out I was automatically switched to the French side of the school, and nobody had told me. Here I was, 10 years old, on the first day of school with nowhere to go. All I was told was too bad...some system! Enough sobbing...my story did end well after MUCH arguing and yelling on the part of my parents. Brian Spencer (bspencer@cs.mcgill.ca)
