"The Inspectors' presence in the classroom was a vital experience. If you knew in advance, you trembled for 2 or 3 days!"- Mr. T.J. Casaubon
"The Inspectors didn't ask anything at all. They sat at the back of the room for 40 minutes and wrote! Sometimes they didn't even introduce themselves. They were just there!"- Mr. T.J. Casaubon
"The Inspectors would carry a little black book and they would put their observations and remarks in it about the candidates. As a rule, the Inspectors wouldn't offer French teachers any suggestions because they didn't know French at all!"- Mr. T.J. Casaubon
"The Inspectors would go to the principal and report on the teachers whom he had visited during that day. And at the end of the week, the Board was called in and the team of Inspectors would report to the Principal and to the Board on the quality of teaching at that school, the general appearance of the school, the use of approved texts, etc."- Mr. J.A. Boyd
"I remember having a student teacher with me, and when the Inspector came in to evaluate my French class, the Inspector thought the student teacher was me!"- Mr. Michael Milhausen
