Parents, students & teachers: “Schools are short staffed and desperately need more teachers, counsellors and special ed assistants, and more school space.” ABC: “Cell phones are the problem.” I’m so f’n tired. #vanpoli #bced
I get the outrage. I’m enraged. But there’s nothing special about professors. Brutalizing anyone —a department chair, a 5y/o in Gaza, a protesting student, a houseless person— should be met with the same response, the same shock, pain, and anger. These lives are of equal value.
Remember when @Vote4ABC promised to restore/increase @VSB39 gifted programs? Joke’s on you, suckers! @victoriajungvan @PreetiFaridkot @KenSimCity #vanpoli

A motion that BCSTA request that the Minister of Education and Child Care fully fund #StrongStart BC programs, including Franc depart, to address the critical funding shortfalls experienced by school districts in operating these early learning opportunities has carried. #bced
Standing in Solidarity Strong Start is a low barrier program provided at no cost to families in our community, offering a free alternative to preschool experience for children who may not otherwise have this opportunity. It is a way to increase equity in our community with an…
Huge turnout of parents fighting to keep #StrongStart in #SurreyBC. @Dave_Eby @RachnaSinghNDP are you listening? And now #Coquitlam is closing 3 of their programs? Fund #StrongStart! #bced @GlobalBC @CTVVancouver @CityNewsVAN @CKNW @CBCVancouver @JanetBrown980 @CUPE728
Lessons for BC, here.
Is the @bcndp paying attention to this research? Allowing Strong Start centres and other preschool programs in BC to close due to underfunding will be a huge mistake.

Hoping this rally is successful. Early learning programs are about so much more than getting parents back to work. All young children and families deserve access to community, education, and support through high quality ECE.

Great story. Schools - from early childhood ➡️ secondary - are the cornerstones of complete communities.

It's that time of year again, when @VSB39 asks parents to choose between which human rights to prioritize. Note: #BCEd is legally req'd to provide supports necessary for disabled & designated Ss, to ensure they receive an equitable education, & ALL schools should be accessible.

Those historic actions also expedited the teacher shortage crisis we are experiencing to this day. #bced
ABC tossed out my motion, which would have put public lands to use and immediately create childcare spaces, and instead passed this motion, which only asks for a report on ongoing work. I don't think the status quo is good enough. Apparently ABC disagrees.

The traditional council of Kahnawake has confirmed that students have the right to be on this land.
Meanwhile trustee @reddyforchange has brought forward a motion to increase funding for consumable supplies (e.g., science lab equipment) and community field trips. Her motion is not a distraction. It could make a real difference. 🔬🧪🥼
@victoriajungvan @bcedplan It is not the phones, it is the lack of funding for support for students that need it.
@victoriajungvan @bcedplan Anecdotally, my grade 10 son reports that the computers at the school are so bad there's no choice during school but to look things up with their phones.
No
Is it time to ban mobile devices in schools? 👍 Vancouver School Board Chair @victoriajungvan is bringing a motion to her fellow @VSB39 Trustees this evening to decide. 📵📴
@PreetiFaridkot @BreshearsSherry @meaghan_mcleod @victoriajungvan @Vote4ABC @vsb39 @vsb Which is almost exactly the funding the Province provided to address wage inflation and the addition of 176 new students with funding allocations. This isn't an increase, it merely keeps up with growth and maintains the current standard, a standard that is failing our kids.
@PreetiFaridkot @meaghan_mcleod @victoriajungvan @Vote4ABC @vsb39 @vsb @PreetiFaridkot This change is just cost of living. It will not put a dent in the crisis happening at @vsb schools for kids with disabilities. Are trustees not listening? Cells phones are not the most pressing concern when kids are experiencing real harm in a daily basis.
This increase basically covers the increase in wages and enrolment but doesn’t make a dent in the crisis parents have raised the alarm about. Resource teachers will continue to be called away to sub and there won’t be enough support workers, especially at the HS level. #bced
@BreshearsSherry @meaghan_mcleod @victoriajungvan @Vote4ABC @vsb39 @vsb 1/2 Thank you for your comment and concern! Last year, our budget stood at $99 million. This year, our amended budget for 2024-2025 allocates an additional $8.9 million, bringing it to $108 million for inclusive education, including support for students with disabilities.
@sarahkirby_yung The schools are underfunded and lack computers. My daughter just finished a grade 10 project that she and other students needed their phones for research. Anyone with kids in public school knows how many resources are lacking.
@sarahkirby_yung 🙋♂️Any thoughts on restricting device use by Park Board commissioners during Park Board meetings? #vanpoli
@sarahkirby_yung Why publicize this motion in particular when there are far more important issues at hand in @VSB39 including not enough support staff to ensure students with disabilities are having their human right to education met? Cell phone ban is the least of our worries.
Parents, students & teachers: “Schools are short staffed and desperately need more teachers, counsellors and special ed assistants, and more school space.” ABC: “Cell phones are the problem.” I’m so f’n tired. #vanpoli #bced
Restricting device use during in school time can help maximize students learning, engagement and social development, build healthy boundaries and reduce harmful effects of social media. Provisions can be made for accessibility and for student use after school or on breaks. Thx…
Beautiful opening by our children singing a welcome song in our language.
When billionaires don't pay their taxes, they get to buy sports franchises. When poor people don't pay their taxes, billionaires get to steal their houses after paying the local government an insultingly small amount of money. 46/
I get the outrage. I’m enraged. But there’s nothing special about professors. Brutalizing anyone —a department chair, a 5y/o in Gaza, a protesting student, a houseless person— should be met with the same response, the same shock, pain, and anger. These lives are of equal value.
