You make a cake with the student's name on it. And also Shakespeare's.

Ah, okay. But how do you show that you built a more personal learning environment?

It looks like it's up to $500. So if a teacher buys a $10 lunch for a student, they can submit the receipt and get a $10 tax credit. Repeat up to a maximum of $500.

This policy is actually good, because I know how much Keri was forced to spend on teaching stuff out of pocket and was unable to write off.

Someone explain this to me, from the PC platform:

A new PC government will also introduce a new Teacher Tax Credit of up to $500 a year. Everyteacher goes above and beyond for students in their classrooms, and this tax credit will recognize the exceptional contributions of Alberta teachers, who exceed the requirements of the job, both in terms of contributing time and financial resources – like stepping in to buy lunch for a student who has forgotten theirs at home, or building a learning environment in the classroom that is more personal, and that helps children learn and experience a happy environment.


If a teacher submits the receipt for buying a student lunch, they get a $500 tax credit?

I think Rick Olcyk will be noticeably absent from the Oilers front office next year. And hey, we all make mistakes on the job, but when unpaid bloggers understand the league's collective bargaining agreement more than the guy whose job is being an expert on same, not good. I wonder why he's in the NHL and not working as a lawyer...

But more importantly, Par, how far along are we (humans) with the brain transplant thing. Is it going to be possible within our lifetimes?

Ummm, no reason....
