After listening to teachers, it’s hard not to get in their corner. The realization dawns that if the word “students” is replaced by “patients” this is eerily reminiscent of a recent conversation with a similar-sized group of family doctors. #nspoli https://t.co/o8Z4LyXwGf
Someone should remind Paul Bennett that Nova Scotia didn't have a labour disruption in its public education system (122 years) until Stephen McNeil became Premier. #nspoli @TheRickHoweShow
In a democracy we get together and solve issues with consultation, communication and compromise. Lots of debate on media, social meeting and in public regarding education and Glaze. Let's pause, have a public debate and work together to come with up with a common direction.
Hello @zachchurchill 1. I am a STUDENT. 2. You do not speak to me, or any of my classmates. 3. I will continuously stand with the teachers as they fight for bettering our education. 4. If you care enough about our education #presspause#stepup4students. #nspoli#nstu#glazereport
"Why, when it is well known that poverty is such a contributor to poor results in school, is it mentioned only 3 times in the whole report, with no recommendations aimed at alleviating it?" #deglaze@zachchurchill#nspoli @WomenEdCanada @CanTeachersFed @NSTeachersUnion https://t.co/VPdYFa68OS
@zachchurchill's comments are disappointing. NSTU supports the professional decisions of its members. Keep in mind the McNeil govt has a history of making threats against workers willing to take a stand (See nurses, Bill 37). #nspoli@Mainstreethfx
Maybe, instead of tearing education apart, demoralising teachers, taking away administrator's seniority and violating their constitutional rights to be in their union, reducing democracy by eliminating school boards, etc., the government could focus on fixing healthcare. #nspoli https://t.co/J6Pe0cOJxr
@CanTeachersFed in 2008 72.6% of teachers were women. @OECD states 74.4% in 2015. 2018 @NSTeachersUnion reps upwards to 75% #women who are daughters, sisters, mothers & teachers who choose 2 support our future #children. #nspoli & #NovaScotia support us! Don’t be #Glazedover
How many people have to say, “slow down and work this through together” before we actually take the time to get all the voices in the same room to make things better? #PartnersInEducation@nseducation@NSTeachersUnion @NSSchoolBoards @NSLiberal
As a result of the McNeil government’s failure to consult with teachers and principals on the Glaze Report, the NSTU is ending its participation on the Council to Improve Classroom Conditions.

What a misleading account of the past 2 years. Teachers have these things because @NSTeachersUnion members stood up to @Nsliberal bullying and were supported by parents and students, not because we played nice on a committee. #nspoli#canlab#GlazeReport https://t.co/Evsa25QG8V
Former NS & NB Deputy Minister of Education, Dennis Cochrane, says taking principals + vice principals out of NSTU is just a red herring & will create a huge disruption. Says McNeil govt is just "following rabbit tracks when they are hunting bear."https://t.co/Pq2r6DvDdL #nspoli
A real concern #nsgov has been attacking nurses and teachers, predominantly women who lead #NovaScotia citizens health and student education. @NSTeachersUnion @CanTeachersFed #nspoli https://t.co/Eaot567OE3
