#tvdsb teachers sound alarm on cuts that have shortchanged students. The mantra has always been to do with less. Now, however, it's become do nothing with nothing. #onted #edchat #cdned lfpress.com/news/local-new…

The elephant in the room is that OTs (occasional teachers) are hard to retain due to high levels of classroom violence. Honest discussions at the board and ministry level are required. Solutions must be found. #onted #cdned #edchat

“It’s what premier Doug Ford told him it would cost.” Once again ⁦Doug Ford⁩ shows his true colours, and who and what he actually cares about. It’s not average Ontarians, it’s not the environment, it’s not our Indigenous peoples, it’s not Ontario. ricochet.media/indigenous/ont…

There are classes in Thames Valley (and across Ontario) with more than 50 students! And yet boards are considering cutting teachers & staff... 😡 #OntEd students deserve FAR better than Ford's "slow starving of education"! norfolkandtillsonburgnews.com/news/local-new…

If a parent asks how they can help their child succeed in school, please start with the BASICS: •𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩…8-10 hours •𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧…must limit sugar •𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦…let them fail without quickly trying to save them

To help #onted elementary teachers and occasional teachers understand their professional judgement rights when it comes to Early Reading Screeners, please share this feature article as seen in the Fall 2024 ETFO Voice magazine - etfovoice.ca/feature/early-…

“We are 2 months into the school year & the (Ford) gov’t has done absolutely nothing to address violence in schools. Education workers shouldn’t have to wear military grade equipment to work.” - MPP Chandra Pasma calls on Ford gov’t to adopt an emergency plan to end school

Responding to media ETFOpresident said, "We need a government that prioritizes public education, allows school boards to adequately address the funding shortfall, and provides the support and resources for unmet needs. Ford had 6 yrs to do the right thing." Step up now! #onpoli

If the Doug Ford govt is willing to leave the most vulnerable Ontarians behind, imagine what they will do to everyone else. 50K autistic kids are STILL waitlisted for services after 6+ years of the Ford delays #DontLookAwayOntario #50KIsNotOK #onpoli #onted #WeHaveReceipts

BREAKING: Conservatives vote NO to including mental healthcare in Ontario’s universal healthcare plan. Mental healthcare IS healthcare. Shameful. To deny access to those who need mental health supports urgently. This government is failing to deliver the basics. #onpoli

I hear the Minister of Finance say: Why not? I say that too ❓Why not lower class sizes? ❓Why not address the retention and recruitment crisis in education? ❓Why not fix the broken schools in desperate need of repair? ❓Why not invest in students? #priorities #onpoli #osstf

In response to the fall economic statement ETFOpresident says, “It is outrageous that the Ford government is choosing to cut funding for public schools while using Ontarians’ own money to attempt to buy their votes. The message is loud and clear: public education does not matter

Speaks volumes

America stopped investing in education and this is the result. Conservatives in Canada are doing the same thing. I’m dun. I just can’t anymore. Taking a few days off. Then only happy things. Cheers.

#LKDSB spent $32K to send staffers to an education conference in Hawaii. An ocean front resort! Such bullshit! Teachers can't get classroom supplies, and this is where they decide to spend money?! #onted #cdned #edchat search.app/?link=https%3A…

Once again children are losing out at the hands of our premier . We need to ensure the future of this province is not left in the hands of Doug Ford.

Today while driving around a Royal Wood song came on the playlist and I got to tell my 10 year old he will get to play the same piano at Knox Hall as Royal Wood. He dismissed it but I think it's awesome.

Have you seen our new online tool, which shows how Ford's cuts impact your child's school? The PC government has cut $1,500 in funding, per student, since 2018. What does that mean for the #onted schools near you? Go to buildingbetterschools.ca/cuts-tool and find out! #onpoli

If you plan to vote PC in Ontario you need to read this first. This is Ontario after 7 years of Ford. Where is the dignity that each of us deserves? How can we afford to build tunnels but not afford privacy & infection control for patients?! We can do both but not w/ Ford
