I attended the Charter School Conference on Friday.  The speakers were
very professional, very inspiring and brimming with wonderful ideas and
experiences.

All of the speakers have stature in the education community outside of B.C.

I met educators who had travelled from other provinces and states to attend
this conference.

The Minister of Education from New Zealand delivered an excellent speech.

I was embarrased by the very obvious absence of B.C. educators.

In the education arena, B.C. seems to still be in Kindergarten while the
rest of the world is entering high school.  Perhaps this explains the
juvenile attitude.

We should all hang our heads in shame that once again we have proven that
children are not our first priority.
