This week, we learned how much $$$ the Ford gov is CHOOSING to not spend on education: $6 billion over the next 6 yrs despite budget surpluses...

That is $6 billion we could & should invest in public ed & students themselves, to ensure their future success. #ProPublicEd #OntEd

Paul is an Occasional Teacher in Hamilton. He believes that we need to do whatever is takes to put our energy and resources behind a public education system that benefits students, educators, and communities.

For Paul, it all starts with listening.

'You can't have a govt... saying we have no money to give ed workers, then provide all these random payments to parents... [They're] not paying them a livable wage, you're not going to retain the best staff & there's going to be a massive #OntEd crisis.'

An amazing and informative keynote address by Dr Jean Clinton at the OSSTF Communications Inclusion Symposium!

“I Feel therefore I Learn”

“Special Rights”

🚫 Special Needs

CTF/FCE Drjean

“From pre-k to post-secondary, every single student in this province deserves to reach their full potential… And we can only get there through a fully funded, inclusive public education system.”
 
President osstfkaren opens the inaugural Inclusion Symposium #OSSTF #OntEd

“I think we need to get rid of the term “special needs”… we need to treat our precious ones as having “special rights.”

#OSSTF Inclusion Symposium Keynote Speaker Dr. Jean Clinton shares wisdom from the Elders, teaching her how to treat all children as “sacred ones.” #OntEd

Alternatively you can say that’s $160,000,000 taken out of public education 💰💰💰💰💰
