A study by whom? Sun News? Faux News. Your post is utterly stupid. Progressives are the most tolerant people in north america. that is the truth.

I would be OK with homeschooling if done by tolerant, left wing, progressive parents. I guess there are exceptions to everything. Public schools, I am learning, are thankfully very progressive and up to date with the current world we live in.

Proof? Oh, none? Typical right wing ranter.

YES!! Finally someone on this forum who understands public education.

Mike Harris = neo-Con = Crappy education. Thanks for reaffirming what I've been saying all along. Provinces with left wing governments have the best public school systems and they listen to the recommendations of teacher unions. My friends in Manitoba tell me their public system is top notch because of the NDP government's co-operation and willingness to listen to the Manitoba teachers union. It's nice to talk to someone who understands public education unlike 80% of the dolts on this forum who pretend to know something. I won't mention names yet.

The fact that there are four people on here who think homeschooling is better than public schooling makes me fear for this country and causes me to vomit. This country is going downhill fast.

Then why did that teacher get suspended? I feel the same way as the principal and superintendent. My views are not solo.

How do you figure? My goodness, it seems every wingnut thinks they know something about public education.

Let me simplify things for you then. I am a student for another half semester. Then I graduate and will be a fully licensed teacher. I already have 1.5 feet in the doorway. I will be teaching next year. That is fact whether you like it or not, and personally what you think means nothing to me. You don't know anything about public education.

That teacher in Alberta gives us teachers who care a bad rap. How can you give zeros when it could cause a kid to not graduate high school? That's heartless. If I give 20 assignments in a year and a kid only completes 10 I can only assess on the 10 he did and not penalize him for ones he didn't do. That is a policy that many school divisions across Canada thankfully adhere to. This isn't 1950, but most of you have no clue about 21st century public education or 21st century skills that we are teaching kids.

F you you ignorant neo-con. Without public education we don't have a healthy democracy. The whole education thing will and is working out for me. I will make a positive difference in the lives of kids. What do you do to help society?

Well, I know I will be. It's signed, sealed, and delivered. Too bad you don't have a clue how public education works. Next.

I will be full time next spring. Bank on it. And by the way, ou spelled teaching wrong. Thank goodness you aren't a teacher if you can't even spell "teach".

I spoke to some teachers about this today. They are getting angry. The teachers unions will never succumb to strong arm tactics by the government. I am surprised at Dalton for this. He has been a teacher friendly premier. Too bad he had to stab us in the back. I will be in the picket lines come September supporting my colleagues. We look after each other.

The funny thing is that I agree with almost everything you say, punked. I may have some marxist leanings, and I am proud of those, but you do too. Tell me what the best school of communism is? You and I are both on the far left. We are brothers.

like what? I really don't care what you guys believe or don't believe.

this is a provincial issue. you are wrong.

you better believe it teachers will fight for their rights. its too bad the government wants to force teachers into a strike that hurts the kids.

Here is another article that shows how out to lunch parents are. Parents think drilling times tables is education. How stupid can you be? Time ton be part of the 21st century. These kinds of parents piss me off. They have no clue. Research has shown memorizing times tables does not make for better math students. Rote is 1930s garbage. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/story/2012/07/22/edmonton-schools-multiplication-drills.html

Hey look at quebec. parents, all parents, pay $7/day for daycare and parents can go to work and leave their kids in the care of the state free from religious extremism. we need this in all provinces. so no, this is not a joke.

If they can't sit still they need ritalin. Simple as that. We have right wing wingnuts in Ontario who fought against the new sex ed curriculum in ontario last year and the government caved into those pressures. i know the government will still introduce this curriculum when the time is right. all kids need to be exposed to this stuff.it would have been a go but some ignorant parents objected. how can you object to sexual health being taught to all kids inclusively. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2010/04/23/ontario-education.html

I know I will be donating to the PQ. They understand the plight of the striking students. They have my support. Charest wants high tuitions creating unequal classes.

Public school teachers are 99.99% efficient.

where those two teachers neo-con propagandists by any chance?

True, I will always vote NDP or a party further left because they understand what public education is all about. I became interested inpublic education after reading the communist manifesto, the 10th plank. As for brainwashing children, , that is non sense. Almost all text books nowadays are written by progressives who know what public education really should be. I can and will use my class as a platform. I know many, many public school teachers who do. we often et together to discuss strategies of how to teach kids the truth. parents don't complain so they must agree. too bad you don't have a clue.
