Connie Keating, @NBTeachersAssn President is exactly right: the timing of the #Policy713 review is very suspect.
Higgs has falsely framed the Policy as a battle between parents and teachers. He’s lied and spread disinformation in an attempt to reduce parent’s trust in teachers - a political tactic aimed to derail negotiations for a teacher contract.
His divisiveness may work to derail negations, but AT WHAT COST? Again, like his #Policy713 harmful revisions, kids will pay: teachers will be required to take job action against his tactics, the teacher shortage will increase, moral will decline, supply teachers will be nonexistent. WHO WILL TEACH THE KIDS?
Higgs is failing the people of New Brunswick. He has to go! His divisiveness is harming our communities. We all need to come together and make change for NB. We have more in common than we have differences. #Higgsmustgo #leadershipfailure #supportteachers #kidsmatter #cometogether
last night I told my four year old I loved her and she said “I love you so much that if someone chopped your head off I’d carry it around forever in a bag”
