All schools should be funded, like Cheswick said, equally. There should be no reason why someone in St. James is paying a different tax rate than someone in St. Vital.
Never mind the fact that kids are just pushed through, as to not hurt their feelings. They might develop some form of feelings about stuff. The nanny state is greater than ever with the kids these days. If you failed math, maybe you should re-take those classes so you learn. Not just push them through, then they'll fall further behind because they didn't learn the previous years courses.
It's all about the union. They will never let their members lose jobs. They tuk r yooobbbbs.

Holding kids back is going to require fewer teachers? Sounds like the Liberal plan for kids in care.
FYI, MTS and the local teacher associations have been suggesting provincial bargaining for years (which would essentially take power away from school boards and result in more balanced costs between "divisions") but the provincial government has resisted. Why? Nobody really knows. There are two levels of bureaucracy which could be slashed drastically without anyone in a school even noticing, the school boards and the sets of consultants each board requires. MTS could give two poops about keeping the current board structure in place.
