Narratives from the United Conservative Party on education have been correct, completely false, divisive, straight forward, and confusing. We need to talk about how we talk about education.
Thanks for sharing this, Deirdre. Really insightful piece, and nice reminder that education is about more than slotting teenagers into predetermined job roles - it’s about expanding their opportunities. I’m many years out of high school and post-secondary and I still haven’t figured out what I want to be when I grow up.
Many thanks, Dave. I actually shuddered to think of the possibility they could have tried to push me into trades — I hardly wanted to be there as it was and that would have probably forced me out completely.
Great post. We need an updated more inclusive mindset about education that also emphasizes civics.
Many thank, Ken :)
You are sharing some great stuff. Still doing the podcast?
Thank you :) we’ve had some struggles with scheduling but I am hoping to get back to it :)
