bcliberalGeorge Abbott@CarrieBercic @MommaYomma limits are not higher. Limit before Bill 22 was 22 (K), 24 (Gr 1 to 3) and 30 (Gr 4 to 12). Same under Bill 22.
CarrieBercic@georgeabbottbc thanks again for the tweets and clarification @MommaYomma- CarrieBercic@georgeabbottbc if this is the case then what does bctf have a problem with.. must be something not being said here @MommaYomma
- CarrieBercic@georgeabbottbc if there is no difference why are teachers so passionate and upset now? Why are they so willing to fight? @MommaYomma
Kathy_Rice@georgeabbottbc @carriebercic @mommayomma sd57 before 2001 contract was ripped up K(20) 1-3(22) 4-7(28) 8-12(30) #bclibs protecting Ed? Not!
KyleLudeman@georgeabbottbc Not real limits if they can be easily erased with the signature of admin. Plus many exceptions! @CarrieBercic @MommaYomma

soltauheller@georgeabbottbc @Kathy_Rice @carriebercic @mommayomma we have some 1/2/3 room schools which really help our district averages- 7 kids k-7- Kathy_Rice@georgeabbottbc @carriebercic @mommayomma pls don't suggst "averages" replace firm caps. We CLEARLY lost caps & support for kids. #bclib
- Kathy_Rice@georgeabbottbc @carriebercic @mommayomma what are the district averages for how much librarians have decreased? LA Ts? Support Ts? ESL/D?
JoannaLLarson@georgeabbottbc @Kathy_Rice @carriebercic @mommayomma What about #'s of students on IEP's??? can't forget the composition problem worsening.- KyleLudemanApples & oranges, @georgeabbottbc. Averages are not the same as upper limits. @Kathy_Rice @carriebercic @mommayomma

- MLAbcliberalGeorge Abbott@CarrieBercic @MommaYomma Bill 22 maintains class size limits: hard cap of 22 for K, hard cap of 24 for Gr 1-3 & max of 30 for Gr 4-12 #
- CarrieBercic@georgeabbottbc you can see why parents can be confused with such conflicting information.... @MommaYomma
- CarrieBercic@georgeabbottbc one side is saying that classes can be any size if a principal so chooses, one is saying there are hard caps @MommaYomma
symphily@georgeabbottbc This is a categorical lie. Bill 22 legislates cash for kids, bribes teachers for over-crowded classes. [ #BCed ]- symphily@georgeabbottbc ANYONE who actually reads Bill 22 will know that you are lying. Where is accountability now? [ #BCed ]

- CarrieBercic@georgeabbottbc ok, does everyone see why this is so frustrating and confusing for parents... @Sheri_K @CrockerJanet @mommayomma
- CarrieBercic@georgeabbottbc all sides contradict each other and it is impossible to figure out! @Sheri_K @CrockerJanet @mommayomma
Sheri_K@georgeabbottbc @CrockerJanet @carriebercic @mommayomma Why next round? Why not now??? Right should never have been stripped. #bced- symphily@georgeabbottbc @Sheri_K @CrockerJanet @carriebercic @mommayomma Weren't those /ILLEGALLY/ removed? Remember justice & democracy? [ #BCe

- MLAbcliberalGeorge Abbott@CarrieBercic @MommaYomma the main stumbling block for the BCTF has been the net-zero mandate.
Janfra2@georgeabbottbc Categorically untrue. Try lack of respect for us and our rights which have upset all teachers.#bced- Sheri_K@georgeabbottbc @CarrieBercic @MommaYomma That is not true. It's about the concessions and erosion of rights. #bced
- KyleLudeman@georgeabbottbc Your insinuation = teachers only care about $. Feeding negative anti-teacher rhetoric. @CarrieBercic @MommaYomma

bcliberalMary Polakdid u know that 15.1% of #bc is protected, which is more than any other province in #canada? #langley #bcpoli
MommaYomma@MaryPolakMLA I think what you're doing in Langley is great. Wish we had someone like you in North Delta.
IanVancouver@MaryPolakMLA #bcpoli A Harcourt initiative completed by Clark and opposed by the BC Liberals
wood_jl@MaryPolakMLA If you are talking about park/wild life protected areas, it still isn't enough. Way too much development, not enought green.

- MLAbcliberalGeorge Abbott@Sheri_K @CrockerJanet @carriebercic @mommayomma hard caps are not set by regulation - they are in legislation

Mathew3snrf@georgeabbottbc http://t.co/XELuYq4L- KyleLudeman@georgeabbottbc If caps are exceeded, what's the recourse? Sue in small claims? @Sheri_K @CrockerJanet @carriebercic @mommayomma

- MommaYomma@georgeabbottbc The 2012 year is almost over so putting it into contract isnt meaningful #bced @CarrieBercic
- CarrieBercic@georgeabbottbc arent the limits slightly higher though? used to be 19 at K now is 22? for ex. or am i mistaken @MommaYomma

- MLAbcliberalGeorge Abbott@MommaYomma @CarrieBercic exceptions can only occur in gr 4 to 12 and require sign off of both principal and superintendent
- CarrieBercic@georgeabbottbc what would be an example of an exception? @MommaYomma
- KyleLudeman@georgeabbottbc Will they sign off for pedagogical reasons or narrow budgetary reasons? @MommaYomma @CarrieBercic
- 2replies
- MLAbcliberalGeorge Abbott@CarrieBercic @MommaYomma example - if school has one physics 12 class & 31 students want to take physics 12, then exception could occur
- CarrieBercic@georgeabbottbc thank you for the clarification @MommaYomma
- KyleLudeman@georgeabbottbc But if they have one History 12 class of 22, that might not be enough to run under current model. @CarrieBercic @MommaYomma
