This is not a teacher bashing thread.
Get off your high horse.
Mom taught on a reserve for 20 years for half of what a high end paid teacher in Alberta makes.
Do you honestly think she put in less effort with those kids?
No, she did the job because she had a passion for instruction. For seeing kids learn.
And I guarantee it was tougher there than some teacher in St albert experiences.
No teacher is worth more than $70k and I've worked with about 4000 of them in my last professional life.
But hey, if it's for the children
And yes it is true.
As a parent, I am billed for noon hour supervision.
That's a fact jack.
Every parent gets a bill for added on fees for service when your children are in school. I have two bills here so don't call me a liar
The point was, it's too easy to blame govt for squandering billions.
Take a look around at the lifestyle in Alberta.
When you/we have these unions going On strike, it tells me plenty about their entitled attitudes.
As for the nurses,I date one and she works with my sister.
I tell them all the time that a lpn could do their job for $30 an hour vs $47.
Yet they both still like me?
I don't need another post secondary education to tell me that many people have no problem living beyond their means.
(I already have my dream job, and I live below my means)
Fiscal conservatives are almost non existent in my part of Alberta these days.
We will see if the next 18 months help people put a strain on their lifestyle for awhile.
How anyone can support new taxes, increased taxes or any tax is crazy.
How about everyone cuts their budget. Including the over priced teachers.
A change in government leadership?
Who? Who's it going to be?
Seriously I want to hear it.
Don't think that any other political party would do it better here.
A change in leadership would be best?
Are you talking about Jim or the PC party?
Who's going to step in? And fix this mess?
Rachel? Lol
Some dinosaur that wants all homosexuals to burn in a lake of fire? Sure. That party. Right.
I'm willing to give JP some time.
But hang on, it's going to be tough for awhile for many of us.
Looks like I'll be planting a garden again to cut some costs around here...
I am curious what many would say to JP to give him ideas on how to fix this mess.
