.@bcedplan You've got a mess on your hands. Let a teacher help you to see where you went wrong.
1st mistake: Just because you went to #bced school, doesn't mean you know how schools work. You should have given teachers meaningful roles in developing the plan. 1/? #BCIsNotDenmark
2/ 2nd mistake @bcedplan was to transplant a plan from Denmark into #bced. If you knew a bit of gardening you'd know that a plant that thrives in one climate zone doesn't always flourish in another. There are 10 kids in classes in Denmark; 30 students/class in BC .... 3/?
3/ ... despite the voodoo math that @Rob_Fleming keeps spouting about an "average" of 22 students in high school classes. Even that number of students is NOT what is in Danish classrooms. #BCIsNotDenmark #bced ...4/?
4/ Another difference between Denmark and BC is that they have not had 20 years of defunding of their education system. Their students are well-funded. BC students? $1866 below the Canadian national average. ....5/
5/ What that means is that they have ventilation systems that work, teachers don't have to spend their own $ on hand sanitizer, & that together with the ability to physically distance with smaller classes, they have prevention not virus containment. #bcIsNotDenmark ....6/
6/ But even with all that, they are still having to close schools. My brother lives in Denmark so I get stories about this directly from him. Has anyone at @bcedplan actually visited schools in Denmark to see how different they are to #bced ? #BCIsNotDenmark
