Yet another example of difficult teaching conditions seen across Canada. We understand and stand in solidarity with @NLTeachersAssoc @SaskTeachersFed #WeAreSTF

Nova Scotia teachers will vote on Apr 11th to begin their own fight for teachers' working conditions & students' learning conditions; issues of classroom size, complexities, & violence in the classroom. #WeAreSTF & we support you @NSTeachersUnion #skpoli #nspoli @SaskTeachersFed

There are lots of disappointed people in Saskachewan right now.
6000 band students (Optimist Band Festival)
1500 French students (Francofièvre in person)
750 basketball players (HOOPLA)
150 STEM students (Sask Skills Competiton)
#WeAreSTF #skpoli @SaskTeachersFed /1 – at White City, Saskatchewan
And the countless teachers, parents, volunteers, and businesses who support these AND OTHER extracurricular (and curricular-adjacent) activities that are supposed to happen.
SO there are lots of upset people. And some people are starting to turn on Sask teachers.

Teachers are standing up for ALL students across Saskatchewan today! Over 182,000 students who are missing CLASSES, supports, & YES, extracurriculars like Optimist Band, Francofièvre, Hoopla, and Sask Skills competition. @SaskParty it's time to put it in the contract! #WeAreSTF – at Regina, Saskatchewan
This! The hoopla the @saskparty has created is older and much bigger than Hoopla 2024.
It’s not “NOW” that the kids have been paying the price. They’ve been doing that for years under @PremierScottMoe leadership.
They’ve been paying the price bc you won’t pay the price of predictable and sustainable funding for their education.
Agree to binding arbitration.
Last week in SK, 1500 French students had their hopes crushed when Francofièvre was canceled due to job sanctions. Students couldn't attend this CURRICULAR event because the @SaskParty refuses to negotiate in good faith & refuses arbitration. #IAmSTF @SaskTeachersFed #Hoopla – at White City, Saskatchewan
I will add that @ctvregina , @CBCSask and @leaderpost should be equally, if not MORE outraged at the students impacted by last week's in-person event cancellation. If @PremierScottMoe wants Saskatchewan to be a global force, our future bilingual workforce should be a priority. – at White City, Saskatchewan
There are plenty of hills to die on, yet class size & complexity is the one that the @saskparty think they can win? @jeremycockrill and @PremierScottMoe REALLY need to start reading the room! #WeSupportSTF @familieswithstf @SaskTeachersFed @STFPresident saskatoon.ctvnews.ca/sask-mo… – at White City, Saskatchewan
@SaskParty and @SaskSchoolBoard got it backwards! Across Canada, maxs on class sizes & composition are being included in contracts. Then, like in BC, an MOU is created to outline implement of said changes to meet the new requirements. media.sd64.bc.ca/media/Defau… #WeAreSTF #skpoli

Here are some great examples of the weirdness of our education system now. Maybe Classroom Complexities and Size wouldn't be the hot topics they are if the classroom culture was different. slate.com/human-interest/202… – at White City, Saskatchewan
@PremierScottMoe doesn't WANT to be the same as Ont, BC, NB, etc. Not with Carbon Tax, not with Education. He refuses to put Class Size & Composition in the contract. With contract commitments, he loses control of the narrative. But pre-election promises are on brand. #WeAreSTF
Having class size and complexity in an agreement ensures accountability from government for adequate funding (no more cuts!). Divisions have assurance and can implement funding as they need, and families and students have assurances about their learning environments.

Who thought gov wasteful spending could get even worse? 4 months closer to an election, @SaskParty is in even MORE hot water over misspending, AND the education issue is boiling over. Let's SAY we'll allocate $$$ to education. Surely the sheeple will still vote for us! #skpoli
