Thanks to The Tyee, Paul Simpson and Katie Hyslop for this excellent interview on the very important role that support staff play in BC public schools. Recruitment/retention of both support staff and teachers should be high priority! #bced #bcpoli #cdned #PublicEdPublicGood

John Rustad didn’t fail at vetting—he succeeded in recruiting + celebrating folks like Stephen "Vaccines Make You Magnetic" Malthouse. The problem isn’t oversight; it’s overzealousness in courting people steeped in conspiracy + extreme views. #bcpoli biv.com/news/commentar…

About time! Fewer students are completing provincial assessments and so “the Fraser Institute will no longer publish the British Columbia Secondary Schools Report Card, which had been published since 1998.” fraserinstitute.org/sites/newsrele… IPE BC #bced

For all the fellas (and it’s always fellas) whining about women who limit replies to people they follow or mention, it’s because we follow people we’re interested in engaging with. We don’t care what you — random dude on twitter/X — think. Good day.

Hey John Rustad is this your official position?

I’m pretty sure most of these folks are eligible to ride BC Ferries for free, Mondays to Thursdays.

This policy has absolutely zero chance of being effective in achieving whatever its indefinite goals are

I asked our school why there are so few laptops/Chromebooks for the kids to use for in-class work this year. And the answer is 300 were decommissioned because they were too old, and there is NO FUNDING to replace them. This concerns me more than phones. #BCEd #BCPoli
