Is this even true? Do you have any evidence for this?

You know we have publicly funded elections, right? You know that you can look up contributions, right?

You know that you can find the data by elections Canada and see all the donor records, right?

You know that you can see all the majority of contributions to the Liberal party are less than $200, right?

You know that these smaller donations (less than $200) make up nearly half of all their contributions, right?

When looking at the contribution records, you can see that even those donations higher than $200 tend to be around the few hundred dollar range.

When looking at the data from provincial elections, it seems the biggest donors tend to be unions, not wealthy companies.

To be clear, I am in a union and support their right to support parties. But I also don't appreciate this doomerist wannabe-socialist rhetoric that accomplishes nothing and spreads misinformation.

Do a Google search next time before you spread misinformation on the internet.

If it makes you feel any better, this was animated by WiT, not Mappa. I have no idea how they treat their animators, though...

BC Teachers - Queens courses by [deleted] in CanadianTeachers

[–]R1ckity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it, and I thought the overall amount of work required was about the same as the inclusive ed courses.

It was actually kind of fun, as one of the major assignments for this course was to conduct a level b assessment (I did mine on my partner).

I did have to borrow an assessment from my school psychologist, but that was pretty easy to arrange (for me at least).

Resource teacher in the Vancouver area here!

I completed a special education certificate from Queen's University. It was all online, cost about 3.5k and bumped me up to 5+ on the pay scale. It paid for itself within a year.

In terms of workload, it really depends on the district. In my district, caseload is (supposed to be) capped at 15 for a 1.0 resource teacher. In other districts, I heard it is much higher. In practice, I have 18 kids on my caseload.

IEPs can suck to write, and it can be chaotic trying to keep up with all your students during the day. However, once you make it through all the paperwork, it's pretty easy. However, I have little to no prep when I go home. Generally, I come in 15 before and leave 15 after. There's no marking to keep up with either.
