Any friend of Donald Trump is no friend to Canada. Honorary captain my ass.

Fuck you Wayne Gretzky you two faced goddamn traitor.

Solidarity with @CupeAB education workers across the province. A largely feminized workforce whose labour is essential for students & schools. They are NOT disposable and their fight is a fight for public education too. ✊🏻

“We aren’t going to be able to get those skilled workers and keep them if they have to work short-staffed for poverty wages,” said Lamoureux.

@MattJonesYYC should really get some legal advice here. A DIB appointed by the GOA to enforce a wage cut (real dollars) of the GOA...is not negotiation. #AbLeg

At yesterday's board meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the Edmonton Public Schools 10 Year Facilities Plan and 3 Year Capital Plan.

These were tough conversations. Here's why. 🧵

Maybe teacher unions could learn something from the UAW.

The United Auto Workers are currently demanding a 40% raise while my teacher union was ecstatic to receive a 2% raise. 😞

[Julie Kusiek @JulieKusiek]

Well that was a (ka)hoot! All the best to this thoughtful group of grade 9’s at Grandview who tested the room’s knowledge in a competitive game of Kahoot, crowned one another with peer awards, gave a speech for their parents and gave gifts for their teachers.

These poor broadcasters. Time must be standing still for them. It’s like 3:00 on the last class day before vacation for teachers.

During this same period (2012-2020) AB school enrollment grew by 15.5%. When adjusted for this growth AND inflation the cut per student was -12.6%.
The Fraser Inst wrote this report to show that ed spending was out of control. Far from it: it shows how badly the cut in AB are.

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

The UCP wants voters to think they’re addressing concerns about K-12 education. But this story puts UCP approach in the proper context. Even with a huge surplus, the UCP can’t bring themselves to properly fund enrolment growth. #yyc #AbLeg #abpoli #abed https://t.co/Duq2w81Hvp

When kids read, they have the chance to discover the world beyond them; when they write, they have the chance to discover the world within them. They need the opportunity to do both.

AND don’t forget that @yomeeks is running for DR Edmonton-McMurray in the CURRENT ATA PEC election. Greg Meeker has earned your support. @albertateachers @EdPubTeachers @ECTlocal54 @ATALocal48

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

If your partner or spouse is a teacher they probably answer 2,000+ questions every school day.

So try to avoid asking them questions the minute they get home, especially questions like, “So what’s for dinner?”
