It's not enough. Considering 2.5%-3% population increases annually in Alberta over the next couple years and the already oversized classrooms, it's not enough teachers/TA's. More schools need to be built too to accommodate Alberta's continued growth.

Solidarity with the teachers!

Teachers have been locked out.

Teachers have been locked out.

Yup.

And the plan is to hire scabs to replace the locked out teachers...51,000 scabs who need security checks and vulnerable person checks to go into the classroom.

Or knowing her, she may forgo that and just let anyone and everyone into classrooms to teach.

Have a source on this? Or is it speculation

My wife is a teacher...got an email from the ATA about them hiring scabs.

That would certainly do it. I hope people remember this, CorruptCare, our nation-lagging minimum wage, and constant overreach in municipal affairs when the next election rolls around.

I do wish we had a serious third option that wasn't NDP/UCP.

I'm agreeing with you more and more. NDP isn't it either.

If/when an NDP government is elected, they will have a much better, accomplished group than they did the first time around in 2015 where many elected MLAs were inexperienced and not ready or expecting to form government and lead ministries.

The Premier isn't even in the legislature today.

I have never been an NDP supporter but I have to admit that Rachel Notley's NDP government gave us much government than those that preceded or those that followed her despite the inexperience of much of her caucus.

Goldielocksout!

So the scabs thing was hearsay by some teachers my wife knows.

But the lockout email came from the ATA.

Sorry for the misinformation.
