I appreciate the Vanderhoof teachers and staff who helped me develop into the capable individual I am today. Not perfect, but capable.

My experiences with our schools over the last few years has eroded that trust.

Our schools now seek indoctrination over academic excellence. Students are no longer taught how to think critically, analyze and come to their own conclusions.

As taxpayers, parents, grandparents and loving care givers, we deserve to know our kids are being taught the skills to prepare them for the future.
