Earlier today, @STFPresident and @CTFFCEpresident hand-delivered 3,300+ letters to @PremierScottMoe and @jeremycockrill. The letters were from Sask teachers and parents, describing critical issues such as class size and complexity, and what the government must do to address them.

@HPhysicsteacher Last point, these policies are written from a perspective that students need to be protected from their teachers.

How messed up is that?

People writing these policies have ZERO trust in teachers so they create rules to confine practices.

I just don’t understand all of it.

[Muna Kadri @munakadri]

@HPhysicsteacher As members will be learning from us soon, we’re dealing with A&E changes too.

Not the same as Peel, but still problematic in some ways.

As a parent I don’t understand why boards are prohibiting teachers from accurately reporting to me regarding my child’s achievement.

[HSPhysicsteacher @HPhysicsteacher]

Wow, no marks of 41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48 or 49%

Round to 40 or 50% or effectively probably always ⬆️50%

A Mark of 21-40% is recorded as 40% (‘I’ option for G9/10 only)

A Mark of 0-20% is a recorded as a 20% (‘I’ option for G9/10 only)

(I assume 30% exams are gone as well)

I keep wondering when school boards will push back.

He creates impossible conditions for them to function then blames them for the consequences.

Is being perpetually submissive to the Minister of Education part of the Ontario Leadership Framework?

I appreciate that behaviours can happen more often outside of a classroom, but that’s not what was publicly articulated.

Also, teachers advocating for more supports is not a reason to dismiss that request.

And my response is public because the statements were public.

[Muna Kadri @munakadri]

Listening to a board meeting where trustees are told that behaviour issues don’t often happen in classroom settings is peak upsetting.

Language matters and that language is dismissive to the experiences of classroom teachers.

[Muna Kadri @munakadri]

None of this is a surprise & the fact that “principals sounding the alarm” grabs the headline emphasizes the problem.

Teachers have saying this for years but we are ignored.

It’s a system that’s built on contempt for educators with students suffering the most.

[Muna Kadri @munakadri]

“A ‘crisis' in GTA school staffing shortages is leading to cancelled classes, burnout & mounting pressures.”

Wages frozen for 10 years, deteriorating work conditions & school boards choosing chaotic hiring practices.

Quebec teachers offered salary increases of 17.4% over 5 years.

About 3.5% per year.

Interesting info for #onted.

Three housing solutions the Ford govt could implement right now:

🏘️ End exclusionary zoning & build where people already live

💰 Get speculators out of the housing market w/ a multi-homes tax

🏗️ Get back into the business of deeply affordable & supportive housing

People will continue to scream that educators and nurses are greedy to want wage increases beyond 1%, but seem to be okay with CEOs making 246 times the salary of their average worker.

The rich conservative donors like it when the peasants fight each other for their scraps.

[Chris Glover @chrisglover]

More & more people are living in poverty because more and more wealth is siphoned to the wealthiest.

60% of the new foodbank users have full-time jobs. Meanwhile, the top 100 CEOs make the average annual salary in a single day.

In Ojibwe our words for Happy New Year are Mina Nimkodaadeng (pronounced Mi-na Nim-ko-daa-deng). Also translates to greeting in a new year.

The final bell has gone for my @osstfd16t_ot colleagues at the #YRDSB.

You've earned a well needed break, may you all get the rest you deserve.

(Holding space for all my colleagues with multiple jobs who can't rest. We need to fix the pay issues in education & beyond.)
