I'd take that survey with a giant grain of salt. It wasn't a scientific survey.

The online survey was conducted in the two months after November 3, 2014 and was completed by 434 individuals (62% teachers, 30% parents, 5% Educational Staff and 2% students.) Edmonton and Calgary together accounted for 47% of responses, with the rest from schools around the province.

While we do not suggest that this survey is “representative” of classrooms and schools in Alberta...

Their own publication clearly states the survey isn't representative of classrooms and schools in Alberta.
I think the whole thing should be ignored because it's drivel.
