Allow me to introduce you all to the Minister of Education for the Province of Saskatchewan. Wonder why there is no settlement with teachers?

Just got a letter back from a gastroenterologist informing me that the estimated wait time for my patient is 3 years.

We don’t want to be doing this. Government can end this with binding arbitration for class size/complexity. Lots of people seem to want that too, as 80k+ emails have been sent since Friday asking them to agree to it. Tell government enough is enough. tellthemtuesday.com/arbitrat…

I’m a teacher. I love the extras. I love coaching, directing, and creating incredible memories. But I cannot do it all. The extra only comes when the curricular is properly supported. #inthecontract @SaskTeachersFed @PremierScottMoe @jeremycockrill @SaskParty

This is what it looks like to be bullied by the @SaskParty: Give an unreasonable turnaround time, leave absolutely no opportunity for discussion or collaboration, and instill fear in people so they’re not tempted to speak out.

Put it in the contract or don’t bother. Teachers have no trust left.
Two weeks from today, the new provincial budget will deliver the largest ever increase in school operating funding and a record new commitment to address classroom size and complexity. Today, I am taking the unusual step of announcing part of the education budget prior to budget day, to clearly demonstrate our commitment to address teachers’ concerns around classroom supports. In light of these significant new commitments, I am asking the STF to pause their job action so that teachers and students can return to their classrooms, and the teachers’ union can return to the bargaining table.

Read an article about the @atari cartridges buried in the New Mexico desert this morning. Old guy mic drop moment.

Students are literally emptying their piggy banks to improve their own learning environments, while government just makes excuses. Take note, @PremierScottMoe and @jeremycockrill. (Thank you to the member who shared this with us.)

Advocacy may occur in closed meetings; however, if boards remain silent publicly, they become complicit in the misinformation and deception that is being attempted by government. School boards should not fear retribution for making statements that contradict government positions.

Sask. NDP say staffing report shows lack of investment in education: Documents show the province added 1.1 classroom teaching positions over eight years, as enrolment rose by over 15,000 students. #sask #sasked #skpoli #yqr #yxe leaderpost.com/news/local-ne…

Imagine being so wildly overconfident or so poorly prepped that this is the answer you give 🙃 #skpoli

Thank you to our members who walked at 35 demonstration sites on Jan. 16 and 22. And thank you to the parents, businesses, churches, labour groups and communities who supported teachers—some even opening up their homes in the frigid cold. Your solidarity means so much. (1/2)

This month, we traveled back to the days of the Wild West! As a fun review, we used an AI image generator and our understanding of various numeracy concepts to create mathematical outlaws and wanted posters! Yee Haw!
