    This isn’t a “too many new students problem”. This is a “consistent lack of funding from the provincial government” problem. Until people realize that and change their voting habits, nothing will change…

      Don’t worry. The UCP is focussed on the real important issues in schools, like turning teachers into pronoun police. 🙄

      Absolutely right, and completely intentional.

      To make matters even worse, they’re funnelling public education funds into things like charter schools.

      The end goal is to destroy public education, just like the heathcare sector is being crushed to justify for-profit healthcare.
