Education in Canada, and BC specifically has been bad already. And it is becoming even worse, so stopping the process is essential for our future. Sign the petition and demand good teaching practice on every day basis - talk to teacher, talk to principles, check your kids home assignments/etc. The school is not a playground or daycare, it is an education tool, which has to deliver good results. Our action should not stop at signing this petition.

I support better education and support for my children. It is clear, obvious and essential that our money goes toward more teachers, divisions, support and smaller class sizes. Our children must feel counted in a classroom and not lost in the crowd.

I don't understand the logic. My daughters grade (2) was split 5 ways.

I'm tired of hearing about school districts short-changing our future generations like this.

Has anyone contacted the school trustee? Please do. The more people who email the board, then they will understand how many parents are upset about this.

30 kids in a split class is too many for teacher and no way to provide the academic education that the kids should receive, except they 'll learn how to handle stress !

As a teacher, I know how frustrating it can be when funding and budget cuts disrupt classrooms and prevent the student's best interests from being put first. This is a disgraceful situation. I support this petition.

We thought this week would begin new classes. But things changed totally. Over 120 children will change teachers and classmates . It is unfair.

This choice is likely a direct result of the Ministry of Education's requirement that schools have a 95% utilization. That, and the need to help manage classroom composition in one of the only ways they still have available to them. Schools need sufficient funding to meet the needs of the children they have.

The real time rearranging of kids and classrooms is an insane way to start the school year. My child is a mess every year, riddled with anxiety and tearful each day. I'd like to see the data on how much this strategy actually saves the district. It appears that the emotional cost to our kids (and their parents!) is not a consideration.
