Lazy teachers
Absolutely. But, yet again, jkenney holds a press conference, announces minimal new measures -in school and elsewhere - and says them in a manner that sounds like he is patting himself on the back.😡
Is big Sarah on the school board now or does the G&M just post NDP photos with Alberta stories now.
Than close the schools in Edmonton. Calgary and Rural schools are not having the same issues and shouldn't be lumped together. Also, there are zero current ICU cases that involve children under the age of 18 in Alberta.
No. Schools should be the last place to close. They typically have the highest restrictions out of any place I go. Unless you’re closing Costco, you’re not closing schools
Give me all my TAX money back and you can close down everything including the government. Government is the problem that needs to be shut down. No government, no problem.
No
Kenny don't care.
And frankly, given the case numbers among children, that's the circuit-breaker that needs to happen.
Agree
Only in Edmonton!! That city and the people in it, don’t represent the rest of Alberta at all!! Alberta’s embarrassing cousin!!
Lol we need to clear out a lot of school boards in this country. Too many don't know what they're doing
She looks healthy
Need to stop paying everybody associated with the education system
