@WestJet Hello. Can you please rebook our flight from Paris to Nice today? Our flight from Calgary (WS10) was diverted to St Johns and we need a new flight from CDG to Nice. Thanks.
We don’t have a classroom management problem.
We have an emotional regulation crisis that teachers are being asked to handle.
Somehow, “classroom management” has turned into:
• de-escalating trauma
• supporting anxiety and depression
• calming panic attacks
• breaking up fights
• being cursed at, threatened, and even assaulted
• being the counselor, social worker, and crisis team
And at the same time…
we remove the very things that actually help:
• recess
• movement
• art
• play
• connection
Teachers aren’t trained for this.
And they shouldn’t have to be.
Classroom management was never meant to do all of this.
It’s about:
relationships
rules
routines
responsibility
That’s it.
It was never designed to replace what families, communities, and systems failed to provide.
And until we stop offloading every societal failure onto schools,
teachers will keep drowning under expectations no human can meet.
This interview of NDP leader N. Nenshi by R. Jesperson is important: It shows Mr. Nenshi's wit and his understanding of the world. He is a clear-minded and well spoken man; a worldly person who has been judged by many who haven't a clue about him.
The education minister claims he wants to ‘rebuild’ trust’ with Alberta educators. Can you ‘rebuild’ something that was never there?
Let’s review:
UCP:
-stole our pensions and forced them into AIMCo
-vilified teachers and took over the disciplinary function of ATA
1/5
@GlobalCalgary Unless Nenshi was told about problems & said NO, HE’S NOT LIABLE. He should sue her for billions (the billions she’s taken from Albertans). Smith is setting this up to take over municipalities too. She is an authoritarian & will stop at nothing to stay in power & destroy Alberta
.@DonBraid The fact that you and the rest of Albertans have to wonder where the Premier would stand on the question of separatism, in normal times, would disqualify her from holding that office.
Rest assured, #ForeverCanadian will fight a good fight.

Posting this after stealing the $200/month Canada Disability Benefit is really something. Posting it after releasing a plan to take an additional $200/month from disabled Albertans and clawing back every dollar of their earnings after only $350 is next level cruel.
National Post asked me if Danielle Smith is a separatist. Let’s see. To assist separatist she:
✅Lowered petition requirements for them
✅Hired lawyers to assist them in Court
✅Overruled a Court decision
✅Forced Elections Alberta to approve their question
She’s a separatist.
I visited the Calgary Food Bank alongside many of my Calgary colleagues to lend a hand during this busy holiday season. If you can, please find a time to volunteer for your local non-profit organization like the Calgary Food Bank to give back to your community at a time when some Alberta families need it most.

I substitute teach in Alberta. In Sept, I taught a Grade 1 class with 30 students. The class included 4 new ESL students, 3 students with behaviour problems, & a student with Down Syndrome - with only 1 hour of EA support per day. It’s Dec, & nothing has changed in that room.😢
“So Albertans who don’t want to see their country destroyed, their pensions looted, their streets flooded with firearms and their province eventually absorbed by the shit show to the south had better wake up and smell the coffee.”
