Changing teaching assignments has always been difficult. However, I've been teaching long enough to remember when the #tvdsb used to provide resources. Now, switching is a very arduous and thankless job as the employer provides nothing. #onted #edchat

Let me get this straight. 18 #tvdsb senior staff had a Toronto retreat?? My school won't have photocopy paper, and kids won't have pencils due to an $8 M deficit, but execs get a retreat? Why aren't basic teaching supplies "an industry standard"? #onted lfpress.com/news/local-new…

The #tvdsb held its annual leaders' meeting yesterday at RBC Place London! How much did the rental of this convention center cost? Why not hold this at the board office? They have the space! This is just another example of fiscal mismanagement. #onted london.ctvnews.ca/it-s-old-it-s-…

Talk about priorities. Areas cut from #tvdsb's budget included photocopies, learning supplies, field trips, and educators. What it did include was a corporate retreat to Toronto and senior staff raises. It's past time for some public accountability. #onted lfpress.com/news/local-new…

How is it that the school washroom has become a place many students fear? A complete lack of accountability had led to the breakdown of our schools because students don't fear consequences for their actions. #onted #edchat thestar.com/news/gta/vapin…
