Teachers are not essential enough to pay, but they are essential enough to order back to work because they're essential. But not that essential. But more essential than that. #abpoli

Today...

Sigh.

Danielle Smith couldn't articulate the difference between students and teachers and then postulates that if every registered teacher was working full time hours we wouldn't have a class size problem.

Roll the clip.

"Governemnt doesn't stop because you've got important things to do."

Premier Danielle Smith asked about the decision to announce the new provincial license plate via presser as the province deals with ER closures, teachers strike, etc

A classroom could be made of any or many of the below. They are ALL worth a great PUBLIC education! #CdnEd #AbEd #AbLeg #AbPoli

Students voices matter when it comes to their education. They deserve that respect. The current government would do well to listen.

I doubt they will.

Sunday night!

Bruce “Spanky” McAllister shut down one students mic during the “Alberta Next” panel so that young man couldn’t get his message across…

Well…

Evan’s back.

AND he brought a bunch of friends for a panel discussion on Alberta Education!

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

This is another very good reason to pay attention to school board trustee elections. #CdnEd #AbEd #AbTrustees

There's a literal flat-earther running for the Edmonton Public School board.

That's where Alberta is at right now

Reading "Parable of the Sower" for the first time. It's like Octavia E. Butler had a crystal ball.

A very good book but rather scary. Not in a Halloweenie kinda way.

Oof I'm down a rabbit hole trying to parse this line in this article:

"According to a 2017 Fraser Institute report, the average after-tax income for a significant majority of independent school families is comparable to, or even slightly less than, the average income for public school families"
