Education, Not Worst in Everything Anymore

The CBC (hey, I paid for it, might as well use it while it lasts), has a great headline online reporting that our test scores for reading are improving.

N.B. reading test scores improve.

The details are a bit different, namely, we did worse in everything else. But the CBC will highlight what they want of course, hoping people do not read any further.

When will the parents rise up and demand change? Do we not care how bad our education system is? Although the teacher's union currently runs the department of education, why do they need to run the government too?

Time to fix it. The education building in Fredericton needs a good housecleaning. There are plenty of government departments we can send the education bureaucrats to that are less important than education. Maybe BNB. They cannot be worse at flipping coins to see which politically connected businessman gets your money.

Once the bureaucrats change, the teacher's union will realize this is serious, and will be more interested in improving education, not just demanding more money.
