Eby has let BC education collapse based on the ridiculous opinions of university “experts:” Teacher Talker on X: A few truth bombs from a salty old teacher. As we head back into BC classrooms this week, some thoughts about the unintended consequences of systemic changes at high school level & the potential short-term & long-term consequences it is having on students’ habits & behaviours. 1. Late Work: teachers are obliged to take student work whenever they submit it, even months later. We cannot take marks off for lateness, nor can we issue a zero. The rationale is that we should not be penalizing learning because of poor habits or behaviour. The unintended consequence of late work policies is some students have warped sense of deadlines; they procrastinate, wait until others get their work back, copy it & submit as their own, & others will binge submit 8-10 assignments all at once. Very stressful for teachers, too. 2. Proficiency Scale: instead of grades, we have “emerging, developing, proficient, extending” on assignments & jrs on report cards, too. This is meant to be less subjective than marks but ends up more so as “extending” becomes unattainable & most marks are proficient-clumped. And teachers & senior students are in a nebulous squeeze box of weirdness. We have to use PS scale for assessment while fully understanding that no university, local or international, accepts it, and that percentages matter very much for post-secondary.  And that’s not changing. Students know the gig-Jr students now say, “Just don’t hand it in. They can’t fail us anymore.” Which is actually pretty accurate. A student has to pretty much hand in nothing to fail a class. Teachers are pressured to push students through even if they have done next to nothing. The new trends in the #bced system are fermenting a whole group of teenagers who procrastinate, feel anxiety & pressure as their delayed work builds up to untenable amounts, binge to complete work as an end run, do the bare minimum, engage less & see very few consequences. There is increasingly less academic rigour/sense of personal learning responsibility. Just more hedging, more excuses & more sloppy, last-minute work submitted. That’s facts. Ask for the meta studies to support new #bced expectations? Have yet to see any. It’s no bueno, people.

"Collapse of Patient Rights in BC Psychiatry " PDF Link: eryns.works/2026-06-09_The-C… The report warns that legalization of psychiatric Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in March 2027 could give unchecked power to an unaccountable system #MentalHealthCanada #BCed #ubc #bcpoli #CMHA

Why has every scam involving WEF/Pandemic gov over-reach and missing tax money all come from Quebec first? #onpoli #ottawa #bced #bcpoli

3/3 "The greatest harm was not the disability itself. The greatest harm was how long it took for anyone to listen." Every year a child waits is a year they can't get back. Share your experience: #DyslexiaBC2026Survey forms.gle/GjmHeJo3QTaafYRU8 #bced #bcpoli #AccessibleBC

🧵1/3 A response to the #DyslexiaBC2026Survey: "The learning disability was always there. The struggle was always there. The difference was that nobody was looking for it." 1-BC parents story of a learning disability that went unrecognized for years. #DyslexiaBC #bced #bcpoli

They are trying to pass a law that #cdnpoli cannot FOI government emails & communications, however in another bill they want full access to all of Canada's children's phone activities, text and devices in real time 24/7 and that info stored for a year with C-22 #vanpoli #bced

“Obsolete” is hardwired. In high school, students form and harden their attitudes and habits. If we write off the high school years, we are asking for trouble down the line.

BCSTA's executive team and board of directors met with Minister of Education and Child Care @lisabeare yesterday for a productive discussion on early literacy initiatives, the upcoming school trustee elections, and key developments across BC's K–12 public education sector. Conversations like these strengthen the partnership between BCSTA and the Ministry, and we look forward to continuing to work together in support of students, families, and communities across British Columbia. #Bced #Bcpoli #PublicEducation #SchoolTrustees

The @bccla, the @BCSTA_News, Parent Advisory groups all say police in schools should be ended forthwith. Yet the @bcndp and @lisabeare remain tone deaf. The question is; why?! #bcpoli #bced @bctf @CUPEBC bccla.org/policy-submission/…

Politicizing our schools is a sh&tty thing to do. Unsurprisingly, the (VPD) and the Vancouver School Board (VSB) jointly hired Qatalyst Research Group and got the results that support the political campaigns they ran last election. #bced #vanpoli
