Man, he might actually get forced out.

Rohit Gupta, @PaulCalandra personal friend & supervisor at the TDSB refused to anwser questions from parents on the budget, drastic cuts to staff & valuable programs. Let's NOT forget he has NO education experience but was a failed Metrolinx employee who was fired.

Teachers unions in Ontario want to bargain early so that there will be no disruption in the fall. The government won’t because then they can’t vilify teachers and say they are holding students and parents hostage. I hope it doesn’t work this time.. #OnEd #OnPoli #FordoftheLies

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

On the Classroom Supplies Fund, @etfopresident David Mastin told the Toronto Star, “These types of announcements ... are gradually trying to shift the public’s perception about what teachers do. It’s all part of a very, very strategic project that this government has to reduce the public’s trust in these highly trained, amazing professionals.”

President Mastin said school boards and even individual schools are equipped to administer supply programs, but only if they’re provided the proper funding. “Just give the money to school boards so they can fund everything. Not just consumables, but special education supports, smaller class sizes, more EAs, more child and youth workers. These are where the difference makers lie in public education.” #onted #onpoli

The Ford government's $750 classroom gift card gimmick was insulting and admits that our schools are underfunded.

Asking teachers to buy classroom supplies is like asking nurses to shop for medical supplies before work because the hospital can't provide them.

Now we learn that $300 of the promised $750 isn't even new funding - it's being taken from existing education dollars. That's not an investment in public education. It's a shell game.

Ontario students and educators deserve properly funded classrooms, not government announcements that sound bigger than they really are. #onpoli #onted

Doug Ford is taking an extended summer break while Ontario heads into education contract negotiations. Instead of addressing the issues that have been building for years. He’s avoiding having to deal with the backlash.

Ontario’s public education system is being starved to death. Class sizes are too large. Supports for students are inadequate. Schools are being asked to do more with less, year after year. Teachers, Educational Assistants, and education workers are expected to carry the load while resources continue to fall behind the needs of students.

If educators end up in a strike position this fall, nobody should be surprised. These problems didn’t appear overnight, and they haven’t been addressed by the Ford government or Education Minister Paul Calandra.

We saw what happened the last time education workers were pushed into a corner. Educators, parents, unions, and communities across Canada stood together in support of public education and fair bargaining rights.

It’s time for that solidarity again. Teachers’ unions and education unions across Canada need to stand shoulder to shoulder with their brothers and sisters in Ontario. What happens in Ontario won’t stay in Ontario. Public education is under pressure in every Conservative Province in Canada.

This isn’t just about contracts. It’s about the future of our children and grandchildren. A strong public education system is the foundation of a strong society, and right now that foundation is being weakened.

It’s time for Ontarians to get loud. It’s time for parents, grandparents, educators, education workers, and communities to demand better.

Our kids deserve better. Public education deserves better.

It's that time of year again. There will be lots of misinformation circulating about teachers. Here's the truth about teacher raises and strikes in Ontario. Please share as needed.

[Jamie Mitchell @realJ_Mitchell]

If I’m understanding this properly the $750 for #OntEd elementary teachers is…a bit of a scam.
$450 is funding from the government. $300 is being taken directly from school budgets.
Per teacher.
And the vendor is TBD.

@ColinDMello @SteveClarkPC so don’t interfere! You CAN do your job AND not interfere in elections… most government actually manage this feat just fine!

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

Opposition parties are calling the Ford government's reason for an extended legislative break "BS."

The government house leader, who oversaw the slashing of Toronto City Council in 2018, now claims the PC don't want to "interfere" with municipal elections.
