  "When they work really hard and show real progress, our students get tokens which they can exchange for toys at the Sylvan store," says Sylvan CEO Kathleen Casprowitz. "Throughout the fall however, many chose instead to buy bricks. We were quite touched by their level of participation." The money that was raised will go to build a school for the children in Oloosiyoi, a rural African village in the Maasai Mara region in Kenya. Casprowitz says she was inspired to initiate the campaign at Sylvan after hearing former U.S. President Bill Clinton speak in Vancouver earlier this year. "Clinton said the best way to reduce the world’s population and the negative impact population growth has on the environment is to send every girl in the Third World to school. I was struck at what a great cause this is and wondered how I could help. Then I heard about Free the Children and found what I consider a perfect fit for us." It's a win-win for everyone involved, says Casprowitz, whose 12 B.C. centres, including Surrey/Fleetwood, all worked on the campaign.

  "It's a gift of hope that will provide them with the opportunity for a brighter future through education," says Casprowitz.

  "The number of nominations wasn't reflective of the size of the community," said Kathleen Casprowitz, executive director of Sylvan Learning Centre. "And the level of enthusiasm (in Surrey) wasn't reflective of other communities." She blames the Surrey Teachers' Association (STA), which she said made teachers fearful of accepting an award and fostered an "insidious" peer pressure mentality in some schools.
  ...
  One Surrey public school teacher e-mailed Casprowitz after being informed she was a finalist to say she had reconsidered and did not want to be in the running. In a follow-up phone call, the woman said her union didn't support the awards, and neither did her colleagues. "You have to understand, I have to work with these people," she told Casprowitz. After a lengthy conversation, Casprowitz said she managed to convince the teacher to let her name stand, but was greeted with a phone message the following morning saying she was withdrawing and not to call back. A second finalist let her name stand, but decided just a week prior to the awards gala that she was uncomfortable with any media exposure, didn't want her name published or photo taken, and did not attend the ceremony.
  ...
  While teachers' unions in all the other districts also refused to support the awards, the climate in Surrey was frigid, Casprowitz said. Casprowitz phoned each teacher whose form was unsigned.Some, she admitted, were simply opposed to the awards, while others expressed regret, saying their union didn't support them, or that their colleagues were voicing mixed opinions. According to a Surrey parent, one teacher told her nine-year-old nominator "I can't, I'll get fired by the union."
  ...
  "I really am saddened," Casprowitz said.
