@MsAndreaMarie_ This happens to me everytime. I leave a completely cleared out room and move in to "go through it, there's good stuff there, I just don't need it". There should be contract language.

I can't tell you how many times this year a student came to school sick (strep, cough, pink eye) and said their parent told them to just wait til first recess to call home. They're lucky I don't use *more* sick days.#onted

BREAKING: Ford gov has taken over $1.3 billion out of public education funding & deliberately hid the cuts under a "Planned Provision" item! This means Ford has cut $1500 per student in #OntEd funding since 2018. Really shows their commitment to transparency 😡 #OSSTF #OnPoli

@JBradshaw01 I find most absences this year seem to be non-illness related: out of town trips, getting a new pet, just because, going to grandmas while parents vacation, etc.

Student absences have increased significantly in American (and Canadian) schools. A main point in this interview is that parents should send kids to school when they are “mildly sick”, as was the norm pre-pandemic. Thoughts? cnn.com/videos/us/2024…

@calphonso @ETFOeducators Imagine if the salary of those 401 went to budgets for resources to teach the language curriculum? Most teachers have extended the minimal PD given by Boards, learning it on our own time. No $$ given means teachers/individual schools pay for materials to deliver the program.

@thismomloves They can't let go of the fact that they sank huge amounts of school budgets into those resources.

We have a problem when biggest board in country provides PD for educators flagrantly contradicting Ontario Human Rights Commission (discouraging a quality phonics program, decodable texts) plus blatant misinformation about screeners (yes, they DO inform instruction). Do better.

Parent/teacher night. Crossed paths with a mom who's kid I taught in 2019/2020. She said, "You're still the favourite, we talk about you often." That's the stuff that makes 12 hour days a bit better.

There is no #OntEd “Grade 6 Science textbook” or “Grade 4 Social Studies textbook”. Everything your child is learning in public elementary school was likely created, found, or purchased by their teacher. And if they’re in French Immersion, it was also translated by their teacher.

@Teachers__Unite To be clear, not blaming retirees at all for that choice. It's on the ministry

@Teachers__Unite Adding to the teacher shortage too. Teachers eligible for retirement that might have stayed on would rather have a pension with COLA

Retired #onted teachers are set to recieve a 4.8% boost to their pensions come January. Obviously, they deserve annual cola adjustments, but considering they'll have received 14.5% since 2020, current teachers need to be livid. Why are we worth less? #etfo #osstf #oecta #aefo
