@AaangelaShapiro@MarieFrRenaud@TheBreakdownAB@DaleNally_AB Thirty years teaching in a public school board in Alberta. Thirty years scouring value village for supplies and books for my students that I paid for myself. It’s so infuriating!
@MarcWest79@markusoff You need to look up the definition of gerrymandering and reflect on your mistake. If you don’t see your lack of comprehension, you must take a seat. Don’t continue to embarrass yourself.
@Shangrila1234@JeromyYYC@gilmcgowan This must be a bot. Do your research, you are 100% incorrect. Have there been boundary changes in the past? Absolutely, population changes. But the governments of the time followed the recommendations of an independent committee. UCP didn’t like the indp. report so did their own.
@jwest_edm@demetriosnAB Unfortunately it’s not a culture, doors are locked for safety reasons. If your child’s teacher doesn’t dismiss from an outside door, email to set up a chance to touch base after school every so often.
@FreeAlbertaRob Perhaps it was also the corruption, racism and homophobia, and the fact most policies helped the wealthy. Not to mention the decreasing of social supports. Hmmmm, kind of sounds like what’s happening in Alberta under the UCP.
@DonBraid@DShepYEG We inch closer and closer to the MAGA world here in Ab. It’s frightening and so, so sad. The fact that the UCP is doing this proves they know a lot of their policies are not what most albertans want, the level of their corruption, and their disregard for Canadian democracy
@citynewscalgary@MargTokar WTF is happening? We inch closer to Texas and Florida ideology and policies every day. This is not what the majority of albertans want.
@SPhillipsAB@BarbLarochelle@irbrodie I don’t think it’s laziness. They have a MAGA ideology and agenda. They know most albertans don’t like it so they’re pre-empting the displeasure they’ll receive at the polls next year from the more progressive urban voters (conservative, liberal, and NDP).
@BrianJeanAB Look at the statistics for parent attendance at parent/ teacher conferences. It’s not too good, especially after the early grades.
A pesky little thing like actual data might get in the way of your war on (public) teachers.
@BrianJeanAB They should know, between conferences, report cards, power school, blogs, etc., there’s never been so much communication from schools. If they don’t, it’s on them snd their disengagement!
@ABDanielleSmith Reminder, we have hate speech laws here, unless you’re planning of getting rid of those too. Wouldn’t surprise we with all the racist and homophobic actions/rhetoric coming from your party.
@ABDanielleSmith It’s freedom of expression here in Canada, you do know that, don’t you? Or are you too ingrained with the US to know things like this? Reminds me of the time you wanted to pardon Artur Pawlawski. Where does your allegiance lie?
@DonBraid@TheRealDKGray It’s a strategy that works for them. Just look at public education. Drastically cuts for years, then announce a bit of an increase and all they do is brag about it. Meanwhile the public ed system is in chaos. Kids are not all right (mental health) and achievement is decreasing.
@GCarabine@JasonOnTheDrums@demetriosnAB Teachers are leaving the profession in droves here in Alberta. Now the government is lowering their standards to become a teacher. This is real good the Alberta students 🙄!!!
@GCarabine@JasonOnTheDrums@demetriosnAB They must have got that Asia from ‘Berta Proud Dad, I know he had private meetings with the premier and minister of education last year (around the time of the teachers’ strike). Wouldn’t it be helpful if they met with and listened to actual teachers, not conspiracy theorists??!!
@demetriosnAB Parents deserve a strong public education where all students are supported and that is not happening. Classes are full of students with learning, behavioural and other difficulties, and for the most part are unsupported. It’s absolutely SHAMEFUL what you’ve done to public schools
@CoryBMorgan Standard practice is Nov. 1, the day after Halloween. Always been like that so you can stop the faux rage farming. Your pettiness is astounding. I guess you’re trying to take attention away from the RCMP’s investigation into UCP’s corruption, money laundering and breach of trust
@TheRealKeean Common practice is to start wearing Nov 1 after Halloween. You can stop with the rage farming. And the mask is because she’s sick. Maybe, just maybe, she does t want to get the people beside her sick? Honestly, these stupid gotchas over nothing are so petty and ridiculous
