ETFO talking about the real issues - continued cuts to education funding in Ontario. Not cell phones. #etfo
Ontario went from having too many teachers to too few. Did no one in power predict this?
Sad to learn of the passing of longtime #etfo staffer #AdamPeer who helped promote progress in so many ways. #respect #rip https://mountpleasantgroup.permavita.com/site/AdamDonaldArthurPeer.html
... general strike. This prospect terrified CUPE and the entire union bureaucracy, which worked overtime during a weekend in early November to ...
As has been the case throughout the 14 months since teachers’ contracts expired at the end of August 2022, the principal concern of the union bureaucracies following the votes has been to block a strike.#Canada #teachers #schools #education #Ontario #OSSTF #ETFO #OECTA #DougFord #libranet.de/search?tag=
Ontario education unions work to block teachers’ struggle despite massive strike votes
While on the surface it may appear reasonable, as some cons are saying, to let public school parents know what their child is being called at school, or what pronouns they are using, the reality is that some parents are abusive and unfathomably transphobic.
So if, by witholding that info, we can at least create a safe space for their kid at school, all that matters if the students are able to exist and learn in a space where they are accepted and appreciated as they are.
2SLGBTQ+ people experience a disproportionate risk of trauma and abuse, so we need to name, recognize, affirm and celebrate identities that have been historically suppressed, erased and marginalized, to ensure all people are included.
Children form key ideas about race, gender, and relationships by age 5, if not earlier, so early exposure to diversity in our communities goes a long way to making life easier for everyone.
I am sick of people saying this somehow sexualizes kids or grooms them for abuse. Nowhere in the curriculum do we ever teach about how to have sex; and shame on those who pretend otherwise for political points.

NEW: #Ontario's elementary teachers will not accept the binding arbitration deal MoE Stephen Lecce has offered teachers unions.
“The Ford government cannot be trusted,” says ETFO president Karen Brown.
An important read for #ETFO, #OECTA, #AEFO, #OSSTF.
A strong strike vote is absolutely necessary. Say no to arbitration.

"In an Aug. 14 news release, ETFO cited ongoing negotiating issues such as school violence, working conditions, class sizes, and compensations. The government refused to “engage in a meaningful discussion” on those priorities."

Ontario’s teachers will likely be heading back to school without collective agreements in place as the major teachers’ unions say little progress has been made since their contracts expired last year.
