Actually the government is who came up with this FAST and it was imposed on teachers. We have had no discussions with the boards, in fact we have had no discussions with the government. THIS WAS IMPOSED and instead of fucking over all of the younger teachers who are still on the grid we all...

Especially the ministry hosted ones. I have sat through more than one curriculum roll out where there was a huge spread put on just so they could read straight out of the document....Huge waste of time and money that would be much better spent in other ways. If the PD is unpaid and voluntary...

in order to pay for a partial grid increase over the next 2 years all teachers will be given 3 unpaid PD days which is actually a 1.5% wage cut. this was agreed to because the members felt that a total grid freeze was very unfair to newer teachers. We managed to bargain the government down to...

The great Irony of this whole situation is that had we taken our strike votes the issue of removal of extracurricular activities would not be on the table at all. Support for these programs is VOLUNTARY and so should not be part of the job actions. I think that this current action played right...

I call bull shit on that. They are the same teachers and many go back and forth between the two systems over the course of their career and I know of plenty who would been very happy to teach in a public school but were not hired. There are huge reasons why private sectors students do better...

Seems like democracy is working just fine and in a 'Safe Tory seat there is now a NDP MPP, thwarting both liberal aspirations and those of the PC's. I wonder what effect this will have if any on the debate. Teachers might be mostly mice but I think these mice just roared. Thanks Frank for...

No LG, It is not an entitlement it is an experience grid and if you think than an experienced teacher and a novice teacher are of the value I think you need to think that through a bit. Teaching is an experience based profession and as such it falls under the same rules of skill acquisition as...

I watched the agenda last night and one thing that pissed me off the most was the minster of Eds conviction that had they not done what they have done that the teachers would have received a 5.5 % raise. This is a blatant misrepresentation of facts if not an out and out lie. Turns out what she...

On a daily rate Occasional teachers cost more because they are hourly and not salaried workers. They are paid more because they do not get that same benefits that contract teachers do.

It depends on the school but My classes are an 1 and 15 minutes long. And if you think teaching 3 of them a day is easy you are welcome to come and try Fast. Like any performance an hour in front of the kids requires hours of preparation. I am rarely out of the building before 5 pm and when I...

2 days with out documentation is the max. eliminating all of the separate boards would be a huge savings but it would require a constitutional amendment and it would piss of a huge voting block. Closing surplus schools. there are plenty of schools that just don't have the populations to...

Do you really want teachers at school when they are sick? Teachers tend to get sick more than most other people because many many parents send their kids to school sick. And then there are some of us that need to take the odd mental health day so that none of the little darlings that we teach...
