Backwards By Design

Was looking for some #yqr events happening this month to share over on @b_by_design for #indigenoushistorymonth and found nothing from @CityofRegina on Google. Website? Nope Also a lack of anything for #pridemonth. How does this represent a city that supports its citizens?

Let's be clear. The Gov't had YEARS to prepare, over a YEAR to negotiate in good faith, and MONTHS to agree to binding arbitration. But they didn't. Why? Because they thought they could bully teachers into a bad deal. So what's changed? Why offer Binding Arbitration now? /🧵

@CTVDarrell @SaskMorningLive What about turning this to talking about the kids? The government doesn’t deserve nor have they earned the right to be able to sit and explain over and over a stance they haven’t changed since day one. Let’s talk about the kids and the supports they are not receiving.

The education minister will join me tomorrow morning on @SaskMorningLive to tell us what this means from a government perspective.

@jeremycockrill You do realize you could change STF to Saskparty and it would hold true. This was asked of you MONTHS ago. Now you want to talk about a path forward? We don’t play by made up, one sided rules Jeremy. When can we get some adults in charge of this province?

Disappointing to see the STF reject binding arbitration, the most clear path forward for our students, families, and teachers. saskatchewan.ca/government/new…

@tammyrobert @HRFdn @RobSchneider I don’t understand how someone didn’t think some due diligence was important before booking someone like him. Not someone I’d think of when planning a gala.

Hospitals of yqr fdn (@HRFdn) has scrubbed reference to @RobSchneider from their website, including 'Past Events'. hrf.sk.ca/Events/Our-Eve… Um no. This requires scrutiny. Regina, your reputation for dumbassery is about to hit you in the economy if you don't get it together.

BREAKING: Teachers have voted against a tentative Provincial Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Teachers' Bargaining Committee & the Gov't-Trustee Bargaining Committee. 55% of voters opposed the agreement, and 88% of eligible voters cast a ballot. News release to follow.

To answer your question @PremierScottMoe, my answer is NO. You have more and can do better. Our kids deserve it. Your turn to step up now. @SaskTeachersFed

I’ve got something new happening this summer! #yqr #saskatchewan #saskteacher stan.store/withkidsforkids Check it out:

@sage_stage This is interesting! I think part of helping our kids navigate life online we have to teach them how to effectively and honestly navigate things like #ai. Was this something your school has found a way to incorporate? Not something I’ve personally had to navigate yet.

Posting my loss once again. This time last year I saw a spike in AI use as I was giving my final project. I had declared that it had arrived in my building, and predicted that this year would be worse. Well, I was wrong, have hardly caught any students using AI this year.

@theDRAMAgoat1 Absolutely and no doubts that you have! It’s exhausting.

@b_by_design Absolutely. This kid thinks he can do whatever he wants. Mom is aggressive with staff. He's going to a group home next year bc Mom doesn't want to be a parent. It's a lost cause. I promise we've been meeting all semester about this kid. I can only do so much.

Got a kid w 26 tardies. What's your most amount of tardies for a student? #EduChat

@CanuckDema @Twixter200 @PremierScottMoe I have a group of teachers friends that I went to uni with and we often end up talking about how we’d love to do this!

If you feel the need to threaten those you employ, then you know you’re in the wrong. No. I vote no. ✔️ No thank you? We can say it in as many ways as you like but I believe you’re in for a very clear message. Easiest no I’ve ever given @PremierScottMoe

@HenryWilliams74 @theDRAMAgoat1 That’s not what I’m saying at all. Thinking of different ways to approach the situation. It’s not an easy thing, I get it completely.

@b_by_design @theDRAMAgoat1 Yeah, why aren’t YOU doing more to help this student?!

@JosephGross13 @theDRAMAgoat1 What would happen if you just ignored him showing up late and he either comes in and sits quiet or doesn’t stay and goes to office?

@theDRAMAgoat1 Have you discussed with admin or support team maybe why? Could be something going on,

@b_by_design It's 5th hr after lunch. He wanders the building until someone finds him and escorts him to class because if he's redirected by any adult, he doesn't follow that directive.

@heymrsbond I wondered, certainly didn’t seem like something that really allows students to showcase what they know and can do.
