I agree the government is generally pushing people in this direction, and it is not a universally good thing, but I view it more as a management failure of the school boards, in not opening enough spots in the alternative programs they do offer, and limiting flexibility for personal situations.
I think there are a lot of myths flying around. People are throwing out numbers on charter school investment. And now that UPC is make profits off charter schools. I wouldn't mind seeing citation for funding towards charter schools being higher on per student basis, or that people are actually taking large profits from the registered non profits that they are.
I think the fact that they are non unionized workers largely piggybacking union negotiations without dues or strike risk is upsetting the union, but really doesn't have a big impact on Albertans at large, and has caused a lot of what I would generously call half truths about what's happening.
