It’s not the kids I’m worried about. It’s the teachers who hold them. The more time I spend with teachers, the more I am convinced that I’ve never seen so many of them this tired, this unseen, or this concerned about our kids. Our teachers are hurting.

Can’t help but think of the children in #Ukraine. Adults declare war, but children are always the victims.

I believe children need different types of education, different pedagogical approaches, extra supports for their exceptional needs. And I KNOW we can offer that in a properly resourced public education system. Charters are not the answer.
Support Our Students@SOSAlberta

“As Canadians, the rejection of charter schools demonstrates our collective commitment to the some of the most important core principles of public education, including access, quality and equity.

Because it needs to be said again after today's throne speech. I support public education, teachers, and public services of all kinds. We can build systems that resist austerity, support the workers, and most importantly: build an alberta where we all belong and thrive #abpoli

Tonight's announcement comes as a surprise to #EPSB. School divisions were not consulted on this shift. If we were, #EPSB would have shared the desire to move slowly, to listen to parents, to listen to boards.

A teacher being removed from an elementary classroom for wearing a hijab should make *every single* Canadian angry, not just Muslim Canadians.

Nervous and cautiously excited about the long awaited childcare deal to be announced this morning 🤞Child care & early learning is a critical part of a comprehensive educational approach to care in our communities, alongside public education. This investment is long past due.
CBC News Alerts@CBCAlerts

Alberta and the federal government have reached a deal on 'affordable, quality child care,' the province says. Details are to be released Monday morning. cbc.ca/1.6248936
