Danielle Smith and the UCP are an embarrassment.

They don’t care about our kids education.

Alberta teachers deserve better!

[Chad Mulligan🇨🇦🍁🇺🇦-Play La Bamba! @ChadMulligan]

@JSJamato Teachers are on strike, emergency rooms are shutting down, separation talks are constant, reports of government corruption are being withheld from the public, and measles are back. But hey at least you can get the UCP’s literal moto put on your license plate.

Today, @NateHornerAB said that “we can’t afford to be an outlier”. However, Alberta’s education system is already an outlier:

☑️ Lowest per-student funding across Canada and the USA
☑️ Highest student to teacher ratio in the country
☑️ Most stressed teachers on Earth

@cspotweet Does @ABDanielleSmith not understand that public boards deliver education in places like hospitals and juvenile detention centers? Best case scenario is we have as few students as possible in these classrooms, and of course that will impact the averages that she ponders here.

[Ms. Lutzmann @MsLutzmann]

@cspotweet This is a great idea! If there is one education assistant for every four ELL students in my ELA and Social Studies classes next semester I’ll have seven or eight education assistants per class! This will be great!

@cspotweet So private and charter schools get caps, but not public schools?

[I'll Always Just Be A 🇨🇦 Grunge Gurl At..❤️ @KlakSerena]

@cspotweet Why doesn't she just admit that they don't want to fund public education and call it a day, because it's getting really sickening listening to her, and her know-it-all attitude. But then again, she's always thought she's the smartest in the room.

@cspotweet If there’s already supposed to be enough teachers for a 21-1 ratio why wouldn’t they just set that as the cap and take the easy win? Almost like she knows she’s talking BS…

[Commonwealth of Nations @FraserRadway]

@cspotweet 100% of AB taxpayers believe that the provincial property tax collected to support Public or Separate Ed should ONLY be spent on that - kids public or separate education.

Our kids are only getting pennies on the dollar, why?
Why is it funding massive pay increases MLAS?

Opinion: I teach. But, I’m no longer a teacher https://t.co/E6YGTvV5IF via @calgaryherald

@TheBreakdownAB She knows that there are more than 2000 public schools in Alberta, right? And that 1000 new teachers will not help even half of those? Actually, I’m sure she doesn’t know or care about either of those things.

Alberta unions put Smith government on notice: “If you take on one of us, you’re taking on all of us!” https://t.co/ZRqOrOD4Pn

[Margaret E Atwood @MargaretAtwood]

Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.)

John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.
