One reason (not the ONLY reason) is that a large number are sent to private schools. True but one would figure with so many kids going to private schools the public schools would have it easier and better..... as someone that went from Manitoba high school to b.c , some of the classes were teaching things I was taugh the year before and same goes for funding. Jaffery b.c and fernie high schools didn't have things my school in Manitoba had like smart boards in ever class room and so on both schools I went to in Manitoba had better teachers and tools. Before I get called a hick I ended my schooling in nvermere b.c and it was the worst school I've ever been too but my school in virden Manitoba had more students and was still better but Manitoba has a union and it's solid and I was also in special learning classes due to my hearing disability and can honestly say Manitoba did a lot more.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC voters / taxpayers do not value public education. So our government in BC funds education 1800 dollars per less than the CDN average province. Private schools in BC are awash in cash / funding / student fees..... small class sizes etc..... 2 tier education is what BC taxpayers want to see. Its a shame as BC used to have a quality public education system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I wanted to point out at the start of all this , we have the same problems so we can't judge to much , also that the problem goes further then just gun control...

Why do so many turn to crime? Our schools are way too easy on kids. I heard some schools are even going without grades, because grades could hurt kids’ feelings if they don’t get Good ones! That’s the teachers, again, coming up with non real world ideas. Again, kids leave school and find in the real world they actually have to earn their pay. So those same kids head to crime. Kids are more useless now because families no longer teach their kids life skills. KIds don't come from homes that have any tools, workshops etc.... Kids just sit around home all day playing video games. Often single parent homes or 2 parent homes with both parents working........ Blaming the schools is incorrect.....as the home life for many kids now days is pretty sad. If you really want to blame the schools look at how parents insist their kids do NOT take any shop courses..... as parents all think their little johnny will be a doctor or dentist. Our society devalues the trades and kids see this and don't take practical trades courses at schools. Plus our BC government has not funded schools to even have quality shops. Many highschool use shop equipment from the 1960's that is broken and outdated. I don't want to rant more about this. It is depressing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use mine for hunting and at the range and there's lots people just like me. I also have two hand guns that I use at the range. They get locked up all the time and I get a permit from the rcmp to take them to the range. So why should I or any responsible owner lose their guns cause of idiots , I was just going to point out idiots will kill each other one way or another.

Before you saying that's rich to say since it's not me and I don't understand his feelings/side but my dad was murdered and I don't hate the gun , I hate the person. https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/mobile/dean-s-family-deserves-answers-rcmp-search-for-information-in-historical-homicide-1.3483674 he taught me a gun is a tool, you can do good ( feed your family/ protect them or you can do bad, all depends on the person...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
