Which party is most likely to fund #bced in a way that reflects the importance attributed to public schools during Covid19 updates?

#BCelxn2020 #BCElection2020 #bcelection Image
What are the chances that @bcndp or @bcliberals make any significant changes to this travesty? #BCElection2020 #bcelection #BCelxn2020 Image
The reason why teachers spend hundreds of dollars each year on classroom supplies. #BCelxn2020 #BCElection2020 Image
How can the @bcndp and the @bcliberals justify this gutting of funding for Adult Education? #BCelxn2020 #BCElection2020 #bcpoli #bced #bctf Image
We've been told that #bced schools are important for the social-emotional and mental health needs of students. What about their safety during an earthquake? #bcpoli #bced #bctf Image
Any candidate speaking on #bced issues should be asked if they support these @bctf recommendations for healthy & resilient schools. All graphs in previous tweets in this thread can be found in the document. bctf.ca/uploadedFiles/…

We're repeatedly told that schools have to stay open because that's important for students' mental health but whose mental health is being prioritized by Minister Whiteside? 🧵 1/?
#bcpoli #bced
2/?
Certainly not the student who's terrified that their maskless peers are sitting right next to them in a windowless classroom in a school with inadequate ventilation.
3/?
Nor is it the Grade 6 student who texts their mom in the middle of the day to fetch them from school because they're worried about all the maskless students sitting around them in class. They are terrified of taking the variant home to their 40 year old parents.

🧵 Teachers in #bced, in the absence of adequate protections from the @bcndp gov't, let's crowdsource best ideas to keep safe when there's no mask mandate.

1. Wear an N95 mask or equivalent that fits tightly around your face or if you don't have these, double mask.

#bcpoli
2. Follow the advice of Dr. Fauci and the mandatory rule of the Peel School District: wear goggles or a face shield. The virus is airborne. You need to keep it out of your eyes.

3. If you are lucky enough to have windows that open, keep them wide open. The virus is airborne. Don't give it opportunities to accumulate in your classroom.
If you're not, for the sake of survival, get a HEPA filter air purifier for your classroom. #bcpoli

Being calm & kind will support mental health but it's truth that will keep us safe.
To that end, a few question suggestions for @richardzussman:
What data, exactly, shows that there is low/no transmission in #bced schools & that students don't transmit the virus? 1/?
#bcpoli
2/?
Why did the Minister of Public Safety, and not the Public Health Officer, mandate masks in all indoor public spaces?

#bcpoli
3/?
Why did the Deputy Minister of Health, and not the Public Health officer, mandate masks in hospitals?

WHY was it the Minister of Public Safety that ordered the mask mandate for indoor public spaces?

Perhaps #bced teachers should implore @mikefarnworthbc to keep them safe in the indoor public spaces that classrooms are.
#bcpoli

bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document…
Is this why it was the Minister of Public Safety and not the Public Health Office behind the mask mandate?

To whom should terrified #bced teachers turn for legislative action on their behalf?
#bcpoli
bc.ctvnews.ca/retail-council…
And WHY was it the Ministry of Health that ordered the mask mandate in hospitals on 5 November and not the Public Health Office?

" As such, a vaccine alone, no matter how effective, will not tip the balance toward health because COVID-19 is not a disease; it is a symptom of an exhausted planet. "

Schools are being kept open not because of the need for educating students, their primary function, but because #bced performs a social safety net function in the provision of food, & the support of mental health in children. 1/?
2/? Schools perform these functions despite the fact that there is a Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, a Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions, and a Ministry of Child and Family Development in BC.
3/? The ‘downsides’ that Dr Henry talks about to closing schools is not related to a loss of learning but to the loss of food and mental health support for children in one of the richest provinces in Canada. A province where 1 in 5 children lives in poverty.
