Re: “Letter: ‘Revved up over Chevron cash,’” Nov. 28.
Terry Dawydiak is absolutely correct “it is very wrong to deprive our children, the future generations, of… learning supplies and resources.”
However, public education should not be funded by programs and grants that can be removed at any time the benefactor decides to remove the funds.
Nor should parents and PACs be supplying the tools and resources necessary for our children’s education. It is the provincial government that should be providing our public schools with sufficient, stable funding for our children’s and our future generations’ education.
We, the citizens, should be holding our government accountable for prioritizing and properly funding our childrens’ education or, as Terry says, “we only have ourselves to blame.”
