I really don't need another thing to do but I think I might run for a school board position or at the very least start lobbying for a complete restructuring and reimagination of the education system. It is OBVIOUS that the system doesn't work because the past 50 years of my adult like I have heard nothing but issues that no amount of money could ever fix. I propose a 12 month school year for teachers working 8 hours a day with 5 of those hours in instruction/student time and the other 3 hours for prep time EVERY DAY, that should solve the issue with not enough time for prep and marking tests. Of course they would get holidays just like the rest of the working population according to the labor standards guidelines. Change the curriculum so elementary is only getting the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic and some sciences as well as skill labs, I am going to go through the curriculum and see what can be optimized and changed. NO homework for elementary kids and ONLY homework a parent can assist with. For Jr and Senior high which would be practice of the concepts learned that day with a key for parents to check the work and not more than 30 minutes per day. As far as the special needs kids in mainstream classrooms I will have to think about that a little more because it serves no one to have them in the classroom screaming and having tantrums, interrupting education.
I am PRETTY fecking sick of all the public purse employees demands on MY tax dollars and it's about time they worked for the salary and benefits they get currently, if they want more they have to do more.
I am dead serious and it's going to be my winter project, I spent 25 years in education and I KNOW it can be done, just ask home school parents how long it actually takes in a day to educate the kids.

Here is my thinking on what seems to be the immediate future of Alberta political landscape.
1) Mitch drives Danielle out and takes over the UCP party.
OR
2) Danielle stays in but disenfranchises the true Sovereigntists and the party either loses or barely wins in the next election, effectively neutering the UCP from doing anything.
If Mitch gets in, I feel like he would likely start off pushing thru some changes we all might like… AT FIRST. Like give the Bill of Rights some bite, move to Alberta Pension, move to Alberta tax collection, Alberta policing. Perhaps put a stop to equalization. What worries me about Mitch is how brash he might get if he gets a little power and that he will go rogue and start dictating and pushing thru changes we might NOT want in the long run - running roughshod over Albertans. I feel he might do what he wants come hell or high water. That he would become entitled. I feel like we might agree with some of the changes but the end does not justify the means...
