A quote from our very own Danielle Smith. Who’s clearly never been in a public classroom.
I want to be clear that every class I’ve ever taught has been a blast. But I’ve taught 75% EAL classrooms for years with no EA support. You go to almost any classrooms in the NE and it’ll be way more complex than what Smith has described with NO EA support. Heck, even a Science 14 class in the SW is over 66% IPP ranging from mild to severe learning needs, with no EA support.
I have a colleague who is teaching math 14 with 35 students. Those are high needs, high behavioural classes in large teenage bodies. I would love for her to sit in one of those classrooms.

Where did you get that quote from?
(genuinely curious, that's absolutely unhinged).
