There sure have been a lot of people giving feedback on the curriculum. The vast majority of them think it's garbage. 97 % of teachers say they aren't ready to teach it. Why won't @AdrianaLaGrange listen to teachers? #abed #ableg

Private schools exempted from reporting tuition amounts under proposed Alberta law https://t.co/Km1dCRxr5Z

Alberta funds accredited private schools with subsidies at one of the highest rates in the country (70%). #DefundPrivateSchools #AbEd

[Meagan ☕️ @meagandoesstuff]

The gutting of funding by @AlbertaEd to @ABschoolcouncil is very visible while reviewing the financial documents of the organization during #ascaconf22. Just absolutely tragic that this government doesn’t support the legacy and importance of the work ASCA does. #abed #ableg

@AdrianaLaGrange Minister, do you know who is really good at screening students to see who needs added supports? TEACHERS. Y’Know the people who have at least one university degree (often more) & who spend their careers dedicated to kids. If you supported us the kids would get what they need.

UCP members of the committee hid behind bogus critiques around privacy. Once that was debunked, they said they needed "more time" to "come together" and bring forward their own antiracism bill. None is forthcoming.

[Gretchen @offgridteacher]

I’ve come to the conclusion that being a classroom teacher right now isn’t about actually teaching kids. Instead, it’s been about their behavior and mental health. Which…is not my actual degree or profession. Still wondering when the promised mental health cavalry will arrive.

If in 5 years #COVID is discovered to cause cancer like HPV, Multiple Sclerosis like EBV, liver failure like HepC, or acts like VZV chicken pox in form of adult shingles…I don’t want to hear one cry of terror from anyone who gleefully shouted while removing mask on the plane.
