      Yes and some have banned gay rights too. Should we follow suit just cause.

      I assume that you are a qualified teacher. If you were financially able to home school your child(ren) would you do a better job than the public system?

      I'm qualified. Most parents aren't.

  2. We need nationalized daycare NOW. "The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions at state expense." - Karl Marx

      Kids don't need MOTHERS ever, they need somebody to feed and change them right from birth. So, its kids taken right from the delivery room into state facilities. What could go wrong?

      Argus, the NDP and Liberals are pushing for much needed national daycare. Marx had some excellent ideas and some of our current politicians realize that. But you think it's trolling. Good grief.

  3. It amazes me that so many here don't understand the importance of teaching students to collaborate. Collaboration is probably the most important aspect of public education. Kids sit in groups and collaborate, sharing ideas, respecting diversity. It is the 21st century, people.

      No Capt. Canada. The public education system promotes collaboration to teach kids to think critically. It's the 4 Cs of 21st Century Skills. Try reading up on it.

      Australia is definitely more socialist than Canada. Wage intervention by the feds, the 'tall poppy' syndrome, 'fair go', living wage, etc. SSweden abandoned cradle-to-grave long ago, Denmark too and Norway can afford anything at all, anything

  22. The fight for public education in BC continues as teachers return to classrooms to still find schools still underfunded and understaffed.

      Underfunded is completely subjective. BC has one of the best funded systems in the world.
