“Enough is enough!” Ford must listen to students, parents and education workers! •Reverse classroom cuts! •Invest in education! •Stop cuts to children with special needs supports! •Stop insisting on mandatory eLearning! ontariondp.ca/stop-cuts-to-e…

Finally Lecce’s LIES are called out. Brilliant...simply brilliant! You know what’s NOT wavering? US! 11,000 @ElemTeachersTO. Listen @Sflecce We WON’T back down! Class size Matters! Classroom Violence is Real! Spec Ed. needs resources! &...#cutshurtkids PERIOD. It’s time 4 truth

Education Minister Stephen Lecce continues saying that students want online learning and there is an "organic uptake of technological fluency". Students actually overwhelmingly reject this policy by Doug Ford's government. #onpoli #onted #NoCutsToEducation thestar.com/politics/provi…
