Justin Trudeau: Call for a National Day of Mourning for the Lost Children of Residential School - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/Ro74ddfSZQ via @CdnChange
Instead of March Break, @PeelSchools teachers get an email suggesting they're the cause of #COVID19 spread in schools.
Safe for 26 students to eat together unmasked, but not for teachers to have a sip of water, or 'congregate with anyone else'.
What is this? #onpoli#onted
Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month.
It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.
With the exception of masks in grades 1-3 in a handful of boards, #ETFO members are reporting that there are NO new safety protocols in schools!
❌NO Upgraded masks
❌NO details about testing
❌NO improved physical distancing
❌NO reduced class sizes
❌NO additional supports
@FAPareja@musicleem@mmeayuen I’ll take it but damage’s already done! It was CLEARLY marked in their calendar. Would they have agreed on this date had Feb. 12th landed on Diwali, Hanukkah, MLK day, etc??🤔Had they put the same efforts in planning all the ABR PD, we wouldn’t be having this convo @PeelSchools
@FAPareja@mmeayuen@PeelSchools@ETFOeducators@ETFOPeel@etfopresident Teachers who celebrate Lunar NY would have the day off to do exactly that-celebrate! Put it this way, what if peel scheduled Jan 1st as a work day? I’ll still be taking the 12th off as planned, but now I’m missing out on a PD day to plan or whatever PD they have in store for us.
@mmeayuen@PeelSchools@ETFOeducators@ETFOPeel@etfopresident Very disappointed in this. In planning many school events, we’re reminded of these days & to refer to Peel’s days of significance calendar where they specifically say NOT to schedule any event on the days with “red dots”. Guess which date has a red dot? https://t.co/oxfRYSJKGD
Disappointed with @PeelSchools - Feb12 PAday is being scheduled on a Holy Day. How is that demonstrating inclusivity? Those whom celebrate must choose btwn a cultural/religious celebration or taking NEEDED time to plan... @ETFOeducators@ETFOPeel@etfopresident how is this ok?
@lparkpc @Sflecce Where do I begin? I’m a teacher w/ an ECE background. Having worked as an ECE, I’ve spent the SAME amount of time with these students (if not more, because ECEs don’t receive planning time). In Kinder, we work AS A TEAM. Next photo op, please recognize the “Energetic” ECE as well
Teachers are getting frustrated that union leaders are “forcing their teachers to walk out”, receiving “numerous texts from teachers” that they don’t want to strike? Interesting🤔, could we also get your # too, to voice our opinion? FACT: 95-98% of TEACHERS voted for this strike!
