I loved how some media outlets called it “throwing his weight behind the conservatives”. Ya. Weight….
More like cowering behind conservatives because the entire province knows that the BC Liberals were full to the gills with corruption.
My only sadness is that it wasn’t Krusty Clark throwing in the towel.
Why is everyone moving to the trump side of things? It seems counterproductive.
People have been permitted to be unintelligent.
Rather than being failed by the school system when they shouldn’t be moving to a higher grade.
I agree with the first part, but unfortunately being failed in school is probably part of why we’re here. It leads to lower student happiness and worse ongoing grades (source: partner is a pre-service teacher)
I disagree. I’ve even been told that marking in a red pen hurts people’s feelings. Oh well, feelings gotta be hurt then to prepare people to live in civilized society because being all touchy feels ain’t working.
Or require a minimum education level to be able to vote.
That’s nice that you have an opinion.
Unfortunately I dont care if you disagree, as there is plenty of scientific literature which supports the stance of modern school boards.
Try getting out of your ‘touchy feels’ about reality and read a book sometime.
Edit: for the reference of anyone in the future, despite the tone of my message, the intent was not to put down their opinion, but rather to provide non-anecdotal evidence for my own
lol. It’s cute that you think your opinion is more valid than mine. Wonder which of us has been teaching for 25 years.
But I don’t debate idiots. I block them. Bye.
BC conservatives is a massive downgrade compared to the BC Liberals. At-least the name is more accurate in terms of policy, it will be harder to fool new comers and centrists now.
This is an absolutely massive “slide” to the right. Things like privatized healthcare, abortion restrictions, cuts to education, and massive rollbacks to environmental protections are now clearly back on the table.
I can only hope voters aren’t stupid enough to vote them in, but we both know they absolutely can be.
