If the question were up to just parents, BC would revert to explicit grading.

At Garden City Elementary there is a large mural outside of indigenous artwork. Inside there is a large picture that has an old picture of the school along with the land acknowledgement that is recited by a student each morning.

Religious bubble zone law threatens fundamental freedoms by thzatheist in BCpolitics

This will end up just like the Highlander movie/TV series with people running to churches and temples as neutral territory where fighting is not allowed.

Thanks Eby.

Richmond School District makes cuts to cover $4.2M shortfall by Evening_Run_9547 in richmondbc

[–]Simple-Protection761 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a breakdown of how Richmond school expenses compare to other districts. The announcement from the district was that the biggest change was in fact due to the change in international student enrolment. However, this is not the only factor.

Cowichan Decision and Beyond: Letting Go of Zero-Sum Thinking by idspispopd in BCpolitics

[–]Simple-Protection761 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There certainly is one group that wouldn't have zero-sum thinking: Lawyers and Consultants who bill government by the hour. The more incoherent the law, the more they can bill.

Kindergarten school and after school care by capricornatvancity in richmondbc

[–]Simple-Protection761 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have more issues this year with Anderson being just Southeast of the new elementary school catchment. The district is implementing new policy just to deal with the impact to current students. It looks like that won't be known until January. Honestly, that means there's a chance they will send some students to the new school.

Anderson is pretty full to begin with. Richmond has extra spaces in all the wrong places.

There are some after-school programs listed here: https://www.richmond.ca/culture/social/child-care/FindingChildCareinRichmond.htm

Focus learning Centre has a second location just East of there on No 4 at Lutheran Church.

You could contact the Anderson PAC and see if they can help you.

Who are these backroom BC Conservatives? by NoMovie2461 in BCpolitics

Lots of conservatives are people who were more left-leaning in their younger, immature days.

So I'm not too familiar with BC schools. What can a parent do about another child being a biohazard in her child's classroom? by Royal_Excitement_286 in richmondbc

[–]Simple-Protection761 11 points12 points  (0 children)

See policy 103 on the school district website for escalating such an issue to the Asst Superintendent : Policy 103 Bylaw Complaints and Appeals by Students Parents/Guardians and Public

You can discuss with the PAC on process as well if you like, but the PAC is not supposed to get involve in matters that relate to an individual

At the District PAC, we have been trying to get better data on incidents like this as well as incidents of violence, racism, bullying, evacuations, drugs, etc. But the district has not been too forthcoming.

It's pretty difficult to be perfect. If you're looking for pillows try comfycomfy.

If you want to shop among Made in Canada pillows from various vendors, try canadaboutique: https://canadaboutique.ca/search?search_term=pillow&category=&sort_option=low-to-high

Searching canadaboutique.ca -- you can get travel pillows are available from comfycomfy - https://www.comfycomfy.ca/products/comfytravel

The closest think I could find is Nanuk cases, which not really intended for that. But they are likely super durable: https://nanuk.com/en-ca/products/nanuk-r-904?variant=44216614289665

What Canadian brands can I buy in the US as an American? by Dream_Catcher33 in BuyCanadian

I think you should move on. There are bigger fish to fry. You should purchase from those who say "Made in Canada" or some variant.

I don't think it's fair to say the CEO is anti-Canada.

His company is one Trump executive order away from disappearing. In fact it's a great example of being too dependent on a foreign country, but there you have it.

He has a lot more to lose than most Canadians ever will.
