When I was in school, admittedly a long, long time ago I think we averaged around 20 kids per class.
I have a 6 year old who is in grade one now. That poor teacher has 40 kids in her class with no EA's or other support. Minimum of 10 ESL students and 5-10 with behavioral or physical challenges.
Yea, it's a bit inconvenient to arrange childcare but you better f$@ckin' believe I stand with the teachers in this fight.
Alberta's education system has been broken for a long time and the government refuses to fix it as they have their own agenda.
