“Right now, we’re faced with a lot of large class sizes, students that don’t get support, we have students who are coming from overseas who don’t speak the language and we don’t even have an EA to support that student who just sits there in our classroom and sadly has to struggle.”“If our dollars go toward our public funding then we have more resources to give our students,” she said.
Wendy Palk of Edson, whose grandson is in kindergarten, holds a sign during Saturday’s education rally at the Alberta legislature and said she’s worried about the the curriculum. Alberta teachers, parents and education advocates from across the province gathered at the Alberta legislature Saturday, Oct. 22, 2022, to celebrate public education and demand it become, and remain, a priority for those currently in office and those seeking office in the next provincial election.
Palk said she is upset with the current government’s curriculum plans and she’s worried about her grandson, who is currently in kindergarten. She added many Albertans have voiced their concern over the curriculum, but they haven’t been heard. “Never give up,” she said. “I don’t know if Danielle Smith will listen, but look at the people here, this is amazing. This is just a small number of people in the province who believe in public education and are being ignored by this government.”
