Today we welcome back our amazing teachers and students. It’s so good to see the school full again .
But I have to be honest, the way this return happened is upsetting. The legislation that forced teachers back to work in Alberta, along with the use of the notwithstanding clause, is wrong. Living in a democracy, it’s hard to see our rights being violated like this. It doesn’t fix the real issues it hurts all of us.
Teachers were not just fighting for a fair wage,they were fighting for real change in the classrooms. As an Education Assistant working in the classroom every day, I see the challenges firsthand. There just aren’t enough adults to go around. The needs are growing, behaviours are complex, and safety for both students and staff is a real concern. This is what happens when classrooms are overcrowded and under-supported.
Public education needs proper funding and real investment in our classrooms.
We stand with our teachers.
