The Alberta government says Bill 2 will bring teachers back to classrooms.
But here’s the thing no one’s saying out loud: tech problems don’t end when strikes do.
Students, teachers, and parents have now built a hybrid rhythm — and devices are still the glue that keeps it together. Slow, outdated, or unreliable tech isn’t just annoying… it’s a barrier to learning.
💡 The post-strike problem
-
Teachers will be rushing to catch up — every second of lost instruction matters.
-
Students will rely on home tech more than ever for homework, online resources, and communication.
-
Parents will still need functioning setups for remote learning days, extracurriculars, and research.
🔋 How to future-proof your family’s setup
-
Run a health check — lagging? freezing? We can fix that before it becomes an emergency.
-
Upgrade wisely — an SSD upgrade or extra RAM can extend a laptop’s life by years.
-
Stay protected — viruses, malware, or forgotten updates can destroy productivity.
🚀 What we’re seeing at STEM Support
Since the strike began, we’ve seen a surge of parents coming in saying the same thing:
“My kid’s laptop used to work fine… now it’s slower than dial-up.”
Don’t wait for your kid’s next meltdown over a frozen Zoom screen.
Book a same-day diagnostic and let us make your family’s tech school-ready again — whatever Monday brings.
