Today, the Ford government announced changes to Ontario’s teacher education program that will not fully address our teacher retention and recruitment crisis.

“While reducing teacher education programs to one year may make it easier for people to enter the profession, easing some recruitment challenges, it does nothing to confront the real crisis driving educators out of Ontario’s classrooms: the chronic underfunding of the system by the Ford government,” said @etfopresident David Mastin

A recent @otffeo report highlights that teachers are leaving the profession at alarming rates, particularly within their first five years. Although thousands of qualified teachers exist, many are choosing not to work in schools because of deteriorating working conditions caused by years of provincial underfunding:

· large and increasingly complex class sizes
· rising violence in schools
· inadequate resources and staffing, leaving students with unmet needs and teachers without the tools they need to support learning and well-being
· unsustainable workloads and job instability

Added Mastin, “These are not abstract concerns; they are daily realities in classrooms across the province and the direct result of this Conservative government’s reckless decisions. Without meaningful action and investment that addresses these pressures, the retention and recruitment crisis will only intensify.”

Recommendations are outlined in OTF’s report: https://t.co/ooUwBYvvGN

Catherine O’Hara is a Canadian queen, icon and legend. A comedic genius. Gone way too soon. 💔

Maybe try this on humans who aren't as loving and trusting as dogs. All animal cruelty is sick.

This is so one-sided. Rob could have done many things to prevent the kids from being kicked out. And they were kicked out. One full day, next day, asked to leave by 11:30

I feel for the family and all other families who have been discriminated and dismissed by ignorance. Advocate for those who can't for themselves. That's community.

Either get rid of your program or educate your staff to properly accommodate people with various abilities. Make the facility more accessible and accommodating and learn to problem solve - not assume and make rash decisions.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! The YMCA of #Brockville should be ashamed of themselves!
