@canadavsengland@GovGone@CP24 Chill, Red. Yes you are correct. He has no clue what the classroom looks like in 2025. I don’t think he’s trying to be an asshole. He just doesn’t realize how different schools are now compared to when he went to school. We can fill him in on the realities without losing our cool
@Magda_Lena_CAN@ColinDMello Yes. Much, if not most of the blame can go to the parents. Next, would be the government. Literally zero percent of the blame should be placed on teachers.
@W1de__Awake@allisonjade People really have no idea the countless unpaid hours that teachers work. Weekends, evenings, holidays are often spent marking, planning, calling parents, etc. I am a teacher and I work at least 2,200! hours per year.
@SarahSm07642683@allisonjade Sarah Smith is absolutely clueless. Sadly, there are many people in the general public who believe the same thing. No amount of facts will change their mind. It’s best to just ignore them.
@therealLTU@MrKoreen@ETFOpresident@ETFOeducators In 2011, the top teacher salary was $95,718. That would be $131,352 in today’s dollars. Top paid teachers don’t make anywhere near that amount in Ontario.
@therealLTU@MrKoreen@ETFOpresident@ETFOeducators The grid increases do not represent COLA. That is experience raises. Putting the top salary into a COLA calculator would give a true picture of how teacher teacher raises have kept up with inflation.
