#NewProfilePic Happy to catch Dr. Anna Stokke (@rastokke) in Calgary at the ResearchED conference and join her in pleading with schools to "Teach Math"!
Friendly reminder: the NDP was in power for 4 years and never defunded or reduced funding for independent education.
Even they know it saves money.

I feel like an increasing number of responses I get say "your post is misleading" ...
... when what they mean is, "I would rather you talked about something else."
Is it just me?
Independent schools save Alberta taxpayers over $300 million annually. Defunding them wouldn't strengthen public education—it would force thousands of students into the public system, increasing costs and pressure on classrooms. Stop putting systems ahead of students and families
This day in 1940, even the most secular Britons 🇬🇧 declare a miracle as their army are rescued from nearing Nazi troops at Dunkirk, on the northeasternmost coast of France. 🇫🇷
King George VI had called for a national day of prayer and repentance on May 24.

At the end of the day, education cannot be merely a job program for adults or an endowment for an eternal institution, it has to be about the students.
And if it's about the students, why shouldn't the money follow the students?
Reminder of what the Alberta Teachers' Association president said when an *unfunded* home education option was introduced in 2020.
It's never been about more funding for your kid's education. It's always been about who will control your kid's education - you or a union monopoly

Students are the primary stakeholders in education.
When families choose a learning environment that works best for their child, funding shouldn't be taken away from that student.
Every Alberta student deserves access to the setting where they can thrive.

🚨 Many people hear "independent school" and picture a traditional private school.
In reality, Alberta's independent education sector includes early learning, K–12 schools, special education programs, home education providers, online learning, and other specialized models.
