What type of leader criticizes teachers over the Thanksgiving weekend after an exhausting month that teachers have been absolute warriors for kids?

A reminder that the current Alberta Eduction minister fully funded students in Red Deer Catholic Schools to attend anti abortion rallies when she was their school board chair.

I think Jason Kenney and
@AdrianaLaGrange
forget that most Albertans have teachers and nurses in their families.
Family bonds run deep.
They will remember the disrespect on Election Day.

The fact that a child in Alberta has to wait months to see a psychiatrist when they are in distress, should not be a thing in a province that touts it’s world class healthcare.
It looks like a full out assault on public education by Jason Kenney. Who, besides the teachers (who are totally spent after two years with ZERO support from this government), will take up the cause?

I know Alberta teachers are tired, but if you don’t start getting involved politically, there will be nothing left of your profession before the next provincial election.

Alberta teachers:
Prepare for the fight of your lives.
Danielle Smith aims to turn Alberta education into a mirror image of the USA.
- More privatization for the wealthy and ultra religious
- curriculum that does not allow for critical thinking
- poor wages

Bad news UCP, Alberta teachers are:
Smarter than you
Work harder than you
More principled than you
More unified than you
They are going to eat your lunch.

If you are any kind of elected official in Alberta, I would expect a strong condemnation of the statements from the premier and
@AdrianaLaGrange
about teachers TODAY.
Your silence is consent.

Public school divisions should not be in the business of creating boutique schools to compete with private schools. Segregating kids along religious, sports, or other areas, weakens communities.

There is going to be such a dramatic teacher shortage in Canada and the USA in the next few years if we don’t start electing reasonable candidates
Such utter disregard, disrespect, and blatant attacks on teacher professionalism by people that have no clue.

As a teacher leader, I advocated for healthcare workers and our most vulnerable citizens to be a priority in receiving vaccines. Who will advocate for teachers now?

How amazing a teacher is my daughter Raegan Aleman? This is what she put on her classroom chalkboard on her summer vacation to be ready when the kids come back!

Nope. His biggest sin is using pseudoscience to indoctrinate young men into thinking they can blame their problems on others instead of looking inside themselves.
Kind of like your “journalism”
Once I retired, I thought I might lose my passion for education and all things related.
It is not happening yet and I don’t think it will ever happen.
I must resign myself to a life of being an advocate for public education.

I wear red on Fridays to acknowledge that my daughter and her partner(who are teachers) and my teacher friends deserve so much better than this disrespectful, dismissive premier and Ed minister.
A robust curriculum REDUCES outcomes and leaves ample room for both teachers, students, and the community to construct meaningful learning.
It also is free and clear of standardized testing which sabotages those things.

If
@AdrianaLaGrange
and the UCP REALLY cared about public education they would:
1. Stop funding private ed
2.have HEPA filters in every class
3. Fund class sizes for a max 25 or less
4. Encourage curriculum that promotes debate in classes

This beauty’s last day with her classes before retirement . My wife personifies dedication, and passion for her students. Many lives have been changed for the better for her choice to become a teacher.

If you don’t think archaic education ideas can migrate north from the USA under a conservative government, I give you:
1. High stakes standardized tests
2. Charter schools
3. Grit mania
4. Sanitized history lessons

Teachers are such professionals that navigating this pandemic with students is exhausting and heartbreaking because they have such high standards for themselves. Our administration, our colleagues, are exactly the same. Proud to work along side you all.

You know what is better? A properly funded public education system, a curriculum that is developed by the teachers who teach it, and
@JTweedleRD
to deliver it.
A school board’s

priority should be the health and safety of their children and employees. A mask mandate goes a long way towards that at this time.

My biggest regret as Local ATA president for Red Deer teachers is that I did not help put out an ad in our paper telling parents of their right to not have their kids write the PAT’s.

I have been cautioned many times to stop criticizing the Catholic church’s effects on public education in Alberta,
I will not stop because I really don’t care what people think about me. I have that luxury. These people do not:
In looking at Calgary’s Classical Academy charter school, I noticed the first line in their intro and wondered:
How does a child develop critical thinking skills without dismantling or repudiating awful things that have happened in the past?

A reminder:
This government had over a year to put in appropriate HVAC systems in schools to protect kids and staff.
They did nothing. They. Don’t. Care.

Dear colleagues,
As many of you may have heard, I will be stepping down this year. It has been the honour of my career to serve as your local ATA president over these many years.
I will buy a coffee for any reporter who will ask
@AdrianaLaGrange
if she is in favour of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade.
(You know, since she paid for students to attend anti abortion rallies when she was Red Deer Catholic chair).
