Jesus. The ratio is HIGHER than 1 counsellor for every 250 students?
We don't need cops in schools. We need more phd psychologists and other counsellors.

@beansproutsmom.bsky.socialI am so tired of arguing with #bced that the IEP is meant to describe how the school will support and include my kid, not how my kid will have to 'self-advocate' for their own legally required supports.

@jaclynmacrae.bsky.socialStill going through this document, but just wondering:
Why is @bctf.bsky.social under an NDA for this topic?
Do their members know?
@jaclynmacrae.bsky.socialLinks to actual, real world data, pertaining to long term healthcare issues, as well as ROI of supporting Autistic kids, are contained @ bottom of blog post linked in QP.
This should be a #BCElxn issue for anyone actually concerned about fiscal responsibility.

@jaclynmacrae.bsky.socialWhat are t/ long term costs to #BCMed in punting Autistic kids off of stable supports?
What are t/ long term costs to #BCEd in punting Autistic kids off of stable supports?
Why are ACTUAL stats on ROIs in supporting Autistic kids being ignored by @davidebybc.bsky.social @jodiewickens.bsky.social?
@jaclynmacrae.bsky.socialThey know the changes are inequitable.
They are ploughing ahead anyway, lying that they are equitable.
Cutting funding to Disabled kids, instead of widening an umbrella that was always unjustly too small.
This should be an election issue.

@beansproutsmom.bsky.socialMy kid distraught as fellow #bced student sent their slides for group project, but they referenced things that never happened in the novel, clearly having used AI to make her slides. Plus, bullet points are beyond awkwardly worded.
My kid broken at dealing w/AI use from peers
@pqpolitics.bsky.socialWTF? Multiyear ban?
B.C. Teacher Regulation Branch involved should be all fired.
Ban him permanently from teaching or any job with kids
Multi-year ban for Nanaimo teacher caught in Grindr sting chatting with user he believed was 14
@jaclynmacrae.bsky.social@pqpolitics.bsky.socialFar right theocrats want to make BC into Alabama
More politicians should talk about the huge rates of teen pregnancies and STDs among red states in America, who don’t have sexual education
& ask parents do you want to make teen pregnancy & STDs even greater than they are?
