Never merely accept the system simply b/c it is;teachers should challenge this system and pursue greater learning

@SaskTeachersFed Any cancelation of any school event is because teachers and their union refuse to do their job and are holding children hostage. The STC has nothing to do with helping children. It's about power, ego, money, and laziness. Nothing will ever be enough. Do your damn jobs.

We offered government a path forward through binding arbitration for class size and complexity—and they refused almost immediately. We are hoping they reconsider before Sunday, as further sanctions could include cancellation of many important extracurricular events. (1/2)

📣 NEWS RELEASE 📣 Instead of bargaining freely & fairly on the important issues teachers have brought to the table, the govt has decided to use taxpayers’ dollars for a misleading billboard campaign featured in locations across the province. Read more: bit.ly/43Fvb7v

Feeling my age today. Marking assignments on word and I've had to zoom in more than ever before to read comfortably. (Yes, I'm not that old but it's made the existential dread creep up).

@NatBanting Oh, I see your point of the thought experiment. I have to wonder if the "point" of learning math is to prepare for life, then why is math education designed to lead to Calculus?

@educationellen Hmmmm I don’t think I need to understand exponential functions just to calculate interest. All I need is calculation (which is sort of my point; to live productively, do I need more?) Also: this is just a rabbit hole thought experiment. I have no firm convictions or advice.

Here's a thought I'm having today: If we want math class to be widely applicable (content-wise) to the "real world," where does the content stop? Can we argue for anything beyond basic arithmetic, geometry, statistics, and probability? so.... grade 8 is plenty

@cpeck3 Ugh. That is infuriating. Either she doesn't understand the after degree concept OR she's calling for even shorter programs (which means she has no idea about what is required of teachers) OR both.
