They now want to give MPS over 3 million for children who do not have access to Dentist. It will be a mobile dental office. Who does not have access to a dentist ? Maybe a child whose parents don’t give a dam and wont take them ??Rather than always just doing for useless parents lets make them accountable. I am so tired of the hands being held out for everything then asking for more. I sent my kids to private and am so thankful I did. Its throwing money at a problem that cant be fixed. I am so sick of paying for lazy people . I think its a shame what is happening to our tax dollars. They now want to give MPS over 3 million for children who do not have access to Dentist.

Pretty good considering we have a high immigrant population. http://www.cbe.ab.ca/AboutUs/documents/ReporttoCommunity2008.pdf New teachers need to have at least one degree. I believe most Alberta Universities require B.ED students to take one other degree. I think the biggest reason for their success is that the provincial (Conservative) government insists on results. Thus whenever any worldwide achievement results are announced, Alberta is up there with Korea and Finland.
