Parents, students & teachers: “Schools are short staffed and desperately need more teachers, counsellors and special ed assistants, and more school space.”

ABC: “Cell phones are the problem.”

I’m so f’n tired.

No

Speaking of distractions (from the actual issues facing Vancouver School Board students and classrooms). #vanpoli #bced

That’s a feature, not a bug, when it comes to ABC. Distract from the real issues with their nonsense. #vanpoli

Seriously?

Which free AI apps do folks recommend these days?

“We owe it to parents and to the next generation to make sure we are setting up a clear path for kids to follow their dreams and succeed...our new curriculum and our incredible teachers will help students build the foundation they need to make that happen” -Mike Bernier 2016

I didn't wake up this morning planning to google 'what is a soy boy' but the day is unfolding in its own, unexpected ways #cdnpoli

The #bced curriculum was updated in 2015, under the BC Liberal govt. It’s all online and transparent you dog-whistling desperate disgrace. curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curriculum

In case you missed the dog whistle, it would be great if a #bcpoli reporter could ask Mr. Falcon to be specific in what about the current curriculum is not transparent and age-appropriate. This is sounding very… Florida.

Thank you Fraser Valley Current for reporting on the impact when the commitment to inclusion is not accompanied by the necessary staffing and funding. Students with special/complex needs deserve meaningful,reliable support. #bced #PublicEdPublicGood Rachna Singh

This is embarrassing — this constant attempt to draw a cause-effect relationship between David Eby’s leadership and a random attack. There are no empirical data to support such a claim.
