Calgary Board of Education says this year it has a number of high schools over provincial capacity and this year, several classes are occurring in open area teaching spaces of the Seton school."Yeah, and I have a psychology class in the foyer," said Grade 11 student Reese Knutson, adding "It’s kind of hard, there’s lots of distractions."
Part of a statement from the CBE states that "open classroom spaces are allowing both smaller class sizes while also honoring the diversity of how students learn.""In the classrooms you’ll have like 40 kids to one teacher, so it’s really hard to get one-on-one time," said Grade 11 student Adam Turner.
The CBE statement continued: "The Calgary Board of Education has began a multi-year high school engagement with parents, staff, students and community members. The engagement will focus on how student enrolment can be balanced among 20 high schools across the city." Within the next five years, 10 high schools will be operating between 100 and 150 per cent of their capacity, while seven schools will be operating between 50 and 85 per cent of their capacity. Only three of 20 schools are projected to be within the balanced utilization range that best supports student learning.”
This fall, the CBE is holding 12 in-person sessions, between Sept. 24 to Oct. 30, for the public to provide feedback on high schools, community designations and program opportunities.

We really need to evaluate how new schools are being sized. Most are over capacity the day they open. I live north of Calgary in a commuter community. New K-4 school opened about 7yrs ago and is now K-2. Soon to be a very expensive Kindergarden.

Students were late for class, so their school painted over bathroom mirrorsA U.S. high school briefly painted over its students’ bathroom mirrors because staff said teens were taking too long looking at themselves and being late for class as a result. If one looks carefully into a Mirror one can see there truth self. We are cosmic beings, not necessarily humans per see. Ask yourself in all honestly: Am I helping myself and others ? Be good, loving and paradise will come about. Sounds very demented and outrageous behaviors, of the school's principal. Very radical idea.
