"Education is not about filling the pail (treasury) but lighting the fire." - 2008 Premier Gordon Campbell
What? Recognition of Teachers by Premier Gordon Campbell? Sincerity? Would he have gone for the photo op then if he knew that his fate as Leader/Premier would be doomed by the introduction of another First, and Last, of The HST.
The BC Liberal government 2013 version, all Educators are trampled on, except one, by the trio of Clark-Fassbender-de Jong. Premier Clark's memories on teaching is flawed by LOVE:
My dad was a public school teacher. And to this day, I still meet people who benefited from the incredible passion he brought to the classroom and the intense focus he put on each child as an individual.Education is not about filling the pail (treasury) but lighting the fire.
