Ready for Christmas!!! So is my pup, Arthur.
Thank you @maritstiles & @AndreaHorwath for your continuing advocacy for safer schools for students, families, education workers and teachers. #SafetyforAll
Ford's MPPs just defeated our motion to cap class sizes at 15. Their stubborn refusal to act puts the safety of our school communities, and our ability to manage this pandemic, at risk. Thanks to all who acted quickly to call their MPPs. We won't give up. #OntEd #onpoli

Parents, students, & education workers are tired of the Ford government's games. Rhetoric, spin, and catch phrases are poor attempts to hide the Ford government's pursuit of privatization. osstf.on.ca/public-education… #onpoli #osstf #NoCutsToEducation #onted

Instead of engaging in formal negotiations, Minister @sflecce is holding a press conference. Our #OSSTF bargaining team is waiting. #onted #onpoli #NoCutsToEducation #edchat

I'm used to the cut and thrust of Question Period, but when the Minister said his priority was 'creating a safe learning environment for kids with special needs'... I couldn't let that fly. #onted #onpoli #cutshurtkids

Mandatory e-Learning furthers inequalities in Ontario's education system. Why is @fordnation making it harder for our students to succeed? #OntEd #HereForStudents

How does one justify or explain "students first" when 3 completely different ESL levels are expected to be taught in the same period by 1 teacher? No cuts????? The public is not aware.
I will stand UP for students of Ontario and I will stand WITH the educators that help make Ontario's education system world-class. We cannot let @fordnation and @Sflecce play politics with the education of our kids. Join our movement today at hereforstudents.ca #OntEd

It’s time for our government to do the right thing. @FordNation and @SFLecce: Return the average high school class size in Ontario to 22 students, and restore the critical staff and supports our kids need to succeed.

Bad news for the Ford gov't & @Sflecce - Environics poll indicates strong support for ed. workers. ✅ The public doesn't trust the Ford gov't ✅ The public doesn't support the Ford gov't's attack on public education #onpoli #onted #NoCutsToEducation #OSSTF bit.ly/2tFcdmj
