@john_smithson3 @MMcComb05 @Sflecce And at $250 a day how much do they save by having no one fill that vacancy and a support teacher within the school having to fill the job. Tens of thousands $ a day in my school board

This pandemic has demonstrated just how underfunded our health and education systems are. It has also shown how little society values health and education workers. #depressing

@effievernuccio @rollforlearning @CBCOttawa Yes and I listened to the interview. I was infuriated too.

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

@rollforlearning @misshartmier Plus EQAO (not a fan), isn’t a measure for decoding but for comprehension. AT has allowed students to make huge gains in this regard.

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

@BarbiePodgorski @MyDogIsKrtek @CBCOntarioToday @AliciaFromTiny There is short and long answers sections too. They cannot be guessed. Yes EQAO is faulty.

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

@BarbiePodgorski @Katiannmoore @CBCOntarioToday @AliciaFromTiny Hound the ministry!! Think about this is in the next election. Schools are foundational. Funding has been dismal. Resources apread way too thin.

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

@boomerbacon @CBCOntarioToday @AliciaFromTiny I’m sorry this is your experience. It is not true in any schools I’ve taught in.

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

Listening to this woman say that we as teachers don’t support until grade three is completely false. There are many many programs and services available and used throughout elementary school. So many of this guest’s points are completely false. It’s infuriating as an educator

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

@CBCOntarioToday to suggest that we don’t use science based instruction is false. Also to use Eqao as a measure, is faulty. The real concern is the size of classes, the disappearing funding for supports, the increase in behaviour and mental health issues.

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

Please,
Please, please do not use Eqao as a measure. So many issues with the data within.

Marcus Rashford-23, raised £200m for kids meals last year

Jadon Sancho-21, opened new football pitches in suburbs of London

Bukayo Saka-19, a voice for the youth of football & helping communities

What did those indulging in disgusting racism achieve at those ages? #NoToRacism

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

@Mr_Severino @KGBure Ahh...apologies then ☺️. I’m so used to the bashing, I don’t see the sarcasm when it’s there!

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

@Mr_Severino @KGBure You know that in most boards teachers are not allowed into their schools during summer months, right? I’d go in if I could. But we can’t. I’d hate for you to say something and not know the background to the statement.

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

@ONT_Dad Let’s add another layer of responsibility on teachers. Again. When they are already burnt out. A logistical nightmare.

@jobin_neil @hamzaferdowsi @StephenPunwasi @thestevesaville I know many who have had their houses paid off for decades and are are now selling for just shy of a million.

[The Truthful Teacher @truthfulclass]

@jobin_neil @StephenPunwasi @thestevesaville Do you even have any idea of the income to housing price margin ratio comparable to when you bought? It’s not about working hard rather unaffordable markets regardless of income. You’re lucky to have bought then. I’m sure you wouldn’t have been able to buy a 700k home then.

@JimFrancis18 @AlexpiersonAMP Have you stepped in a school this year?! There’s no socializing due to cohorting and social distancing. Just as much mental health stress being in the school.
