Danielle Smith invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to force teachers to return to work last fall, but was no where to be found when discussion/debate was expected shortly after the decision. Albertans learned that Smith took off on a trip to the Middle East.
At the time, people questioned the timing. Now, Albertans are learning that the trips were lavish, and apparently vetted by the Ethics Commissioner. Yet again, raising the issue that the Ethics Commissioner has long since been visibly disarmed in addressing real issues of Ethics.

We went from:
🚨 these professionals can't be trusted to use their discretion so we're going to give them really clear guidelines to follow
to
🚨 we didn't expect the professionals to follow our really clear guidelines so closely without using their discretion!!

I wrote a song about the government of Alberta banning books that include gender and sexuality. I guess this is the priority above overcrowded classrooms. #alberta #books #booktok #song #satire #ableg #yeg #abeducation #education

A reminder that when Smith and the GoAB says ‘private schools’ and ‘charter schools’, what they are really talking about are rich elite schools and religious schools.

Edmonton really showed up today, with this huge turnout against hate. Photos are of the counterprotest to the transphobic "One Million Children March".

Welp, Torry Tanner didn't last long.
For the record, even if teachers had parental permission, nobody is going to be showing gender reassignment or porn to children. This woman went full Florida.

Meanwhile, teachers in AB settled for a 1.5% increase over 3 years because the ATA said it was the best we could get.

Two issues with this:
1. We can't find or keep support staff because no-one wants to be assaulted for $17/hour
2. She previously fired them all via a tweet on a Sunday
It's the lack of pay and the lack of respect.

Does it strike anyone else as bizarre that the UCP is insisting K-6 kids need to learn how to code when the tech sector is getting absolutely massacred? #AbLeg #AbPoli #AbEducation

What do you do if you want all the public dollars for a school, but are a hardcore creationist?
Just put every kid on an IPP so you don't have to teach science or social like in Fort Vermilion AB!

TFW the ATA tells you education got a "significant" funding increase, but it's the same underfunded model and doesn't even match inflation. #AbPoli #AbLeg #AbEducation #AbEd

Remember that book chapter I was finishing up editing in the Calgary airport in November? Coming soon to a bookstore near you (especially if you go in and ask them to order it). #abeducation #abpoli #canpoli https://blackrosebooks.com/products/b-anger-angst-b-br-trevor-w-harrison-and-ricardo-acuna-eds-br

FYI, in Alberta at least, there are zero dollars for your kid with extra challenges until they get a psych test and an academic test.
The school will pay for it, but they're only allotted a limited number of tests. What that means is that if your kid isn't among the most academically or behaviourally challenged, they'll have to wait until next year.
Of course, you can pay for the tests yourself at $1000+ #AbLeg #AbEd #AbEducation
