This is not the win you think it is! Only 40 projects. We have 13,500 teachers, so ~ 0.3% are being supported with this fund. That’s not progress that works for all. It’s a shame that all students don’t have access to funding.

[#SaskEdChat @saskedchat]

You have got to be kidding! Full confidence? To do what? @jeremycockrill has done NOTHING for students. He has ignored them, mistreated them and showed they don’t count! In what dimension is this occurring because it isn’t here!

[Kyle Anderson @DrKyle]

"We'll lie about extending the school year to anger voters instead of putting working conditions (class size & complexity) in the teachers contract. If we scare and anger voters enough, they might stop supporting the teachers. We're desperate here!"

[𝘒𝘌𝘕𝘛 @SameOldKent]

If you’re going to look out for Scott Moe’s interests over the interests of Saskatchewan students, at least have the decency to resign first.

[#SaskEdChat @saskedchat]

@Bookworm9226123 @forsyth_barb Ah that’s the catch - reading! It seems to be one of the issues that has led us to this juncture.

[#SaskEdChat @saskedchat]

@scottwf So much happening that makes ne wonder what is going on at some of these board offices.

[Lauren Lavoie @MsLavoiesClass]

@PremierScottMoe You could have come to this conclusion months ago… as a whole new round of billboards went up late week I can’t say I’m optimistic though…

[Premier Scott Moe 🛜 (parody) @PartySask]

In 2017, the Sask Party took full control of public ed in Sk. The elected school board reps have no power and zero autonomy.

With the help of school board officials, we’ve downloaded the cost of public ed onto parents, which allows us to give tax breaks to corporate donors.

[#SaskEdChat @saskedchat]

@PremierScottMoe This is not the win you think it is. This was so long ago and you have NOTHING of your own to show as your govt has been HORRIFIC in so many areas. Your minister just got caught in a lie - worse than the Devine PCs.

[#SaskEdChat @saskedchat]

Oh my goodness. What a circus. Blaming the NDP for things so long ago that the young voters today weren’t even born. Explain Devine and the PCs bankrupted our province & NDP fixed it only to have the SK Party bankrupt it again & your record for healthcare is abysmal.

[Scott Moe @PremierScottMoe]

Yesterday in Question Period, Health Minister Everett Hindley outlined the very clear differences between our government’s record of improving the health care system and the NDP’s failed record of closing hospitals and firing doctors and nurses.

It’s worth a watch.

[Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation @SaskTeachersFed]

Isn't this the government that tried to do away with school divisions entirely?
Then removed their ability to set mill rates?
Then clawed back division funding year after year?
And now they want favours?
Any damage to Sask. education rests squarely with you, @jeremycockrill.

[Theresa @reeseballs]

He knows teachers are still delivering content right?

Genuine question. I wonder if he understands what Work to Rule is.

Because if not, he's fully admitting that schools crumble when teachers only work as contracted.

[#SaskEdChat @saskedchat]

There needs to be a change to how parties are funded because the people of SK are getting shafted by this govt who is taking their cues from donors outside the province. Sending our money out of province for donor bucks. Wake up SK!

[Saskatchewan New Democrats @Sask_NDP]

Scott Moe’s Minister Everett Hindley lied about being lobbied by a big Sask. Party donor.

The old boys club at the Legislature isn’t working for the people of Saskatchewan. #skpoli

[#SaskEdChat @saskedchat]

The whole point is that many boards & their members are NOT doing enough to get the funding necessary because they have to do what the government says. This is not for teachers to have say but for boards to have adequate funding. Anything else is political play by people

[TheStarPhoenix.com @TheStarPhoenix]

'Very political, polarizing and personal dynamics': Sask. school boards say teachers' contracts should not address class size, complexity — This year has been "a very dynamic time for education" in Saskatchewan, said SSBA president.

[Premier Scott Moe 🛜 (parody) @PartySask]

We’ve made a mess of healthcare, education, affordability, & shifted the tax burden from the ultra wealthy, to you.
We can’t stand on our own record, so we lie about the NDP who cleaned up after us when we were the Devine Cons. We’re bad, but the cleanup will be worse!

Supporting our colleagues in NS.

[NS Teachers Union @NSTeachersUnion]

98 per cent of Nova Scotia teachers vote in favour of strike mandate

[#SaskEdChat @saskedchat]

Education is at a crossroads with all that is happening in schools and the needs of children. It is time to sustainably fund education. Yes it hurts to not play. It hurts even more when we dont take care of ALL students. #ISupportSTF

[#SaskEdChat @saskedchat]

I’ve been following education here in SK and tweeting here for over 8 years and running #SaskEdChat for over 14 years. In that time, the government has continually underfunded education. Teachers have gone above and beyond to support children which includes Extra-curricular.

[#SaskEdChat @saskedchat]

The loss of extra-curricular activities is being felt in the immediate but the impact ongoing issues in schools have been affecting teachers and students for years. It is time for this to change. To end the lack of support for ALL students and support the future.
