In theory, a full inclusion model is the equitable way forward. But the success of this effort relies on investments in human resources and training that boards cannot afford with funding cuts. Inclusion without the proper supports in place is abandonment. https://t.co/ioILuAPq62

This one hits home

[Chris Cowley @oectagovernor]

Adjusted for inflation, Ontario’s education spending is down 11% since Doug Ford’s election in 2018.

The policy choice to underfund schools is felt by students, teachers and parents everyday in classrooms across Ontario.

Do we actually want high quality public education for children in #OntEd or simply the warehousing of children so that adults can work?

How we fund public education shows our values.

Education is one of the most important investments we can make.

[Laura Walton @waltonmom]

As education workers we all have a story about violence & harassment in our workplace. This is a great space to have our voices heard!
Heads up @Sflecce & @fordnation - you are not going to like what you hear.
You have failed education workers, students & families

[DerekZoolander85 @dzoolander85]

Isn't it great seeing Conservatives like Doug Ford & Stephen Lecce put out posts bragging about all the child care centres they are opening?

Trudeau's Liberals design the programs & pay for most of them & then the opposition takes credit. 🤦🏻 #OntEd #CdnPoli

[OPSEU 2100 @OPSEU2100]

The demands placed on EAs are immense! Supporting students with diverse needs is no small task
It's disheartening that the lack of respect from the employer/gov is driving talented individuals away from this vital role
We need better support and recognition for EAs in #OntEd

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

If you know someone in education: please send them a loving and uplifting message.

If you ARE someone in education: you are loved. You are needed. You are doing amazing work in an often impossible situation. Thank you for your service.

Listen to the ETFO President outline the major bargaining issues in our central negotiations for 83,000 teachers, occasional teachers and education workers. She explains why ETFO educators are asked to participate in a strike vote. Learn more at https://t.co/XyQEX5CYt2 #onpoli

MORALE!

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

With our announcement on #onted bargaining, we wanted to ensure that parents are fully informed.

📢 It is a normal process of labour relations in Ontario.
📢 It is an attempt at resolution.
📢 It is a request for 3rd-party assistance.

Here’s a portion of today’s press conference. Watch @etfopresident announce the our intention to file for conciliation in an effort to reach fair agreements.

Let’s remember that our members’ working conditions are students’ learning conditions. #onted https://t.co/Y9S52HLlXE

Trading in the right to strike for binding interest arbitration is a minefield for the union movement.

I’ve been teaching for 17 years and have walked a picket line 7 days…7. Not “never ending”. All 7 of those days was because a government was trying to push an austerity agenda and vilify teachers; at all times my Charter rights were being violated. #onted #etfo #onpoli

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

An announcement of a strike vote does NOT mean schools will be closed in September.

This information will help you to understand what a strike vote is and what types of work action may be considered before a full withdrawal of services is considered. https://t.co/gC998LapIi

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

The Minister of Education can huff and puff all he wants but he needs to remember that taking a strike vote is simply part of the legal process.
