Sadly, having actually been forced to teach this way for a year, I know this is the reality, not hyperbole.
Stand up against this terrible model, chosen not because it's best for kids, but because it saves money (vs two dedicated teachers, one per mode). #onted#hybridlearning👇
York Region School Board: Stand with Teachers & Students in York Region School Board -Say NO to a hybrid school year - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/v4BJGz0jLF via @CdnChange
@zellerific@CandiceleighQ@YRDSB Well said! How come they never look at our mental health, but we are told to look for signs for stress in our students and given strategies to help them. They need to practice what they preach!
@MikeJToronto Not impressed to get a board email at 4:30 pm on on family day and be told to stop spending time with my family to get a synchronous plan ready for tmrw, as a “just in case.” Already spent my long wknd getting ready for a return to f2f. Exhausted!!
@MikeJToronto@Sflecce I’m so tired of being given PD abt mental health and well being and learning how to look for signs of distress from my students and yet no one seems to look out for the educators. How do we help those, if we can’t help ourselves first? #FireLecce
@ETFOeducators This is what the @fordnation government is good at, they shld all become magicians because their ability to do slight of hand and distractions are top notch. While, they distract u with one trick, they’re severely screwing u with the main trick!!
@etfopresident I’m tired of being a pawn and being told to go here and there and to ‘suck it up!’ Call a conference and call out @Sflecce’s lies! Now is the time to call him out and show that teachers care, are exhausted and are trying.
@DaleV73@Sflecce@fordnation Maybe bc he’s @fordnation’s perfect puppet and ‘Yes’ person. @Sflecce doesn’t have his own voice, he just projects the thghts and words of Ford. No puppet master gets rid of it’s #1 tool! #firelecce
@cristina_CP24 Expand cleaning means teachers will have to do more cleaning and using their own $ for cleaning supplies. It took my board 3 and half months to finally get a spray for the FDK toys. Before that, I was told I cld only use steriwipes to clean the toys.
Ontario must get control of COVID-19 and make our communities and schools safe. Email Premier Ford and your MPP today: https://t.co/H2JeFHtEMD #onpoli#oned#etfo
@Teach_Laidlaw Thanks for the motivation. Much appreciated. Felt like today was a bust that questioned my abilities as a teacher, but happy that I came across ur tweet and it helped lift me.
@Teach_Laidlaw Thanks for the dose of reality and showing me the change in mindset that I need to handle my kindie class. Felt defeated today online but u showed me that I need to just keep it simple. It’s not the classroom.
@ETFOeducators@etfopresident@TorontoStar And yet unlike admins who had to work during the summer, we don’t get a bonus equivalent to 3 days of pay and 2 lieu days.
18 years teaching and I’ve never ended the last day before the holidays with so much worry, anxiety and stress. @Sflecce, you need to step up and lead! A leader provides strength and reassurance. Thanks for ruining the holidays! #onted#etfopresident#etfo#FireLecce
@jsmale2@etfopresident@Sflecce And don’t forget abt the mental health of the educators who will be thrown into online learning on the Monday without and time to prepare. We’re tired of being told to fly the plane but have no help and manual on how to fly it.
@CarloOlrac74 EXACTLY! And yet the government continues to use words like “may.” Meanwhile, teachers are using their last few days of school running arnd trying to get something in place for the possible shutdown and are thinking my two weeks to rest and recharge are gone
@clutterbrox@coljmackay And althgh higher ups deem schools safe for teachers and students, they continue to work from their homes and conduct Zoom meetings from their bedrooms or home offices. I laugh when they talk to us about EQUITY AND INCLUSIVITY!
@Travisdhanraj@Sflecce By keeping his mouth shut, I wldnt be working in an environment of fear and uncertainty and trying to answer concerns and worry from parents that have already made the hard decision to send their child to school. Parents and educators need leadership, not uncertainty. #FireLecce
