It’s distressing how Smith panders to her patrons at the exclusion of the balance of the province. You know the 4.95 million of us.
So I’m left to question now her upbringing. How does one arrive at such a careless, unempathetic place in life. How devoid of love and emotion is her world?
Hey Mr and Mrs Smith, what the hell did you do to your daughter?
I never though I would agree with Danielle Smith about anything, but I agree with her on this issue. At the moment, when a single child is throwing a desk or biting other children, for example, what happens is that the whole class is evacuated, leaving the disruptive child alone. Clearly, the child throwing the desk needs some sort of “remedial” support to protect both himself and other children. The current “inclusion-at-all-costs” is helping neither the child himself nor his peers in the same classroom. This is not a question of blaming the child for behaviour he may not be able to help. Taking the child out of the classroom and providing him with individual help is the only practical solution. If any of you can think of a better solution, then I would like to hear it.
I agree.with you. One emotionally charged child can disrupt.the classroom. My daughter was in a class that was completely taken over by one disruptive child because he had the "right" to education in a classroom. What about.the rights for the other children. My daughter was afraid to go to school. I went to the class to see what was happening, and was absolutely amazed how one boy got up and knocked everything off childrens desks, yelling, hit another child while he was running around... wow!! The teacher did i nothing. Every child was traumatized! Would the unruly child be better off in a smaller class, less stimulus, with a teacher that could involve that child in learning in a way the child could understand, no.pressure-a kinder, caring, quieter environment vs a busy classroom?? Would anyone.want to go to work everyday if a coworker hit them, or started screaming in the middle.of your.shift?? Why should children be expected to?
Teachers are not allowed any longer to have “time-out” rooms, nor are they allowed to manhandle their students, and I also don’t think they should be required to endanger themselves. That is, teachers have almost no feasible options. It is a very complex and contentious situation for everyone, and at the moment it is not working for anyone. There are many students with special needs of one kind of another who can be integrated very successfully —but not all can.
This pursuit indicates Smith has lost the governance plot. Government gathers in the Legislature - not the classroom - to debate and determine governance policy to guide Provincial business. The UCP has zero business in the classroom picking on students. If Smith feels that strongly about the need to parent, she should consider having her own children ... on second thought, one monster is bad enough.

If time allows we’ll do some digging into that. ;)

We get your point. We’re curious if we can get Dani to leave the classroom to refocus?
The classroom can’t “refocus” without vastly more supports and also some discretion about how schools handle each individual case.
Agree.

Agree. Maybe she should leave and earn her way back to inclusion.
