The Struggle to Support Kids with Disabilities in BC’s Classrooms | The Tyee Students are forced to miss school. EAs face stress and injuries. More training and outside help may be the answer.

Over a year after a #bcpoli election put the spotlight on in-school support for students with disabilities, the #BCNDP government has yet to fulfill its pledge to place an education assistant, or EA, in every kindergarten to Grade 3 classroom

Mooring states, “We would be able to fully fund the public school system if government didn’t fund private schools” – she is wrong. Impact of BC & Canadian Politics on Social, Economic, Health, Education, Environment, Employment issues by Liberals, Green Party, NDP, & Conservatives

Trust the former President of the BC Teachers Federation (#BCTF), Terry Mooring, to trot out the age old, and massively incorrect, comment that private schools in BC take away funding that should be going to public schools.
