Default Calgary schools

Earlier today, Jim Prentice announced $30.6 million for "starter schools" in Calgary to help alleviate overflowing attendance in certain areas. These schools won't have gymnasiums or libraries.

Reading some of the reaction and learning about the state of some of the schools in and around town was horrifying, especially as I have a son who's going to start in Kindergarten next year.

So I was wondering what the parents here do, and what you see in the schools. Are things really that bad? What about for the Catholic schools? Have parents pulled their kids out and sent them to private schools?

It's all a bit overwhelming so I'm curious what others have found.
