The current Ontario govt is underfunding education and healthcare and using the money to build unneeded parking garages and unneeded highways.

The Ford government’s failure to prioritize education funding demonstrates a blatant disregard for the essential role teachers play. The Conservatives’ chronic underfunding has left schools understaffed and overburdened, compromising the high quality of education our students

The teacher shortage is a mess of the government’s own making. The Minister needs to sit down with teachers and education workers, listen to them, and implement solutions in consultation with them, instead of making announcements without talking to anyone. #onted

We are witnessing the largest cut to public education funding in the history of this province. Instead of constantly attacking teachers and school board trustees, the Minister should just fund education properly. Our children deserve so much better from this government. #onted

Know why Stephen Lecce wants us all talking about cell phones (again)? So that we’re not talking about how harmful his latest funding formula is for our kids. A🧵. 1/16 #onted

The speed and (in)accuracy of how some of my students complete their state standardized test. Yup, the same test that factors into whether I’m an effective teacher. šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

The Minister of Education is driving teachers away from our schools. Instead of investing in education and improving working conditions, time and again the Minister chooses to attack teachers. Our educators deserve respect and support from this government. #onted #onpoli

We cannot think of schools as the solution for every challenge students face. That’s one of the big reasons teachers are in this mess to begin with.

The Science Centre. The LCBO. Ontario Place. Our healthcare system. The Greenbelt. These are owned by the people of Ontario, the taxpayers, and benefit everyone. Doug Ford is selling these of for peanuts, only to benefit his rich friends. This is corruption. #ONpoli #TOpoli

Doug says "it's very unfortunate" No. It's a goddamn disgrace. Speak with any parent of a high needs kid, any children's aid worker, any kid in care, families choosing between rent & food... the system is in free fall. thetrillium.ca/news/social-se…

'ā€Ontario parents are surrendering their children to the province, not because they've abused or neglected them, but because they cannot find the services and support they need to keep them safe at home.ā€ This is the darkest timeline. šŸ˜” thetrillium.ca/news/social-se…

Notice how this #onted classroom has no textbooks or resources of any kind? Nothing for kids to work with at all until the teacher forks out her paycheck to make the magic happen—AND set it all up on days which are unpaid.

You're a waitress serving a party of 24. Half order off the menu; the rest have special requests and drink orders. But you're also the chef and must prepare meals while still providing attentive service. That's what we ask teachers to do when we say "differentiate instruction."

When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims. If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline. If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state. Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.

In response to Ford's $750 classroom supplies announcement today, @etfopresident said, ā€œFor years, educators have spent hundreds of dollars of their own money to ensure students have what they need. If the government is finally acknowledging this reality, it’s long overdue. But
