@Teachers__Unite They are right to be upset but on the other hand all the upper echelon in Thames got some pretty impressive raises recently. From 18 to 50%!
@Teachers__Unite Let's not miss where some schools are insisting employees must fill those reports on their own time despite the requirement for schools to provide time!
Non qualified tech teachers? We are already using non qualified people to teach. Seriously - why don't school boards and Unions pull their collective power together and say NO! OUR KIDS DESERVE BETTER!
Year after year, kindergarten teachers, ECEs, and EAs have to devote more time to child-support work that parents once did. The number of students who aren't toilet trained is staggering. Whatever happened to parenting? #onted#cdned#edchat
Even if #onted increased its budget by $2 B for hiring EAs alone (approx. 50,000 positions), nothing will change until wages are dramatically increased. The pitful wage combined with ever-increasing verbal and physical abuse means limited numbers of incoming staff. #cdned#edchat
In a rare display of public honesty & transparency (minus spin & semantics), a @PeelSchools Assoc Director acknowledges tonight that the cuts being made to Spec Ed across the board are necessary in an effort “to be accountable to those who write the cheques”. #ETFO#OntEd#OnLab
Nobody should be celebrating this "bold" step as it's just another cut to spec Ed. These students will NOT be receiving the types of support they currently do. Shame on PDSB!

I’ll be proudly wearing blue! How about you?!
Show your solidarity for the amazing Ed Workers of @OPSEU2100@PeelSchools we need to see respect at the table!
@OFLabour
The trauma that these events cause our members and the children who witness the violence should never be minimized or normalized! Ever! SHAME! #OntEd#UnsafeSchools
@DrKateTO@fordnation@Sflecce Undisputed learning? LOL. Come visit some classrooms and see the disruptions that are affecting learning due to lack of funding for EA support staff. Ford & Lecce are well on their way to their goal of destroying our Ed system.
@Teachers__Unite To round things out PDSB just terminated a pile of DECEs and EAs from an already short roster of supplies - at 5:45pm on a Friday night
@TeachRandom Curious, if you want this message to reach more parents , Why don't you get the media involved? Someday I feel like we are only reaching thise of us who work in education :(
So I can't be the only person wondering about educational unions and their stance if CUPE strikes. So please share - Is teaching asynchronous virtual crossing the "virtual picket line"? @etfo@osstf
