#BCED Update...Harvey Oberfeld Goes Where Lotusland's Pro-Pundits Fear To Tread.

Harvey O says a lot in his latest blogpost.

I reckon this is the kicker:

...(J)ust think of the HARM (Premier Christy) Clark is doing to BC's children.

Make no mistake about it: denying them schooling will hurt the kids for a LOT longer than the dispute will last; breaking the union … which I believe is TRULY EMERGING AS THE GOVERNMENT’S REAL GOAL … would result in some of the WORST educational and class size standards in the country; and the crowded classes they government wants would not only hurt the kids with special needs, but also those with ESL needs … and the implications would NO DOUBT be suffered by every kid in every class in the province...



If you've really been paying attention it's hard to disagree with that, no?


_______
The only place Mr. O. does not go is 'privatizationland'...But, in my opinion, that would a logical next step if things do turn out as he predicts if Ms. Clark and friends really do have their way with us.

not one of the communications I have had with this group of people purporting to be a political party (identified as BC
Liberals) has resulted in a demonstration of intellect required to privatise our education system....but ....I agree that is the intent. Who is tutoring them?

I found an interesting article at Re Mapping Education. The article was called "Public Education in B.C. The Rise of the Shock Doctrine or Kindling for a Shock Proof Otherwise".

I suspect the Shock Doctrine may well be what is at work here.

As pressure increases, the government may simply give each parent a sum of money and they can go find the "best" education they can for their child. They have taken the first step with their $40 a day.

The B.C. lieberals want the BCTF gone. Then they can focus on the health care and nurses unions again.

The Bilderberg group must be very proud of the B.C. lieberals.
