This unprecedented time calls for alternative thinking. It is however important to remember that not all have access to the internet. OPINION "The worst part about Ontario’s ‘Learn at home’ plan is that it excludes students who need it most" #OntEd

Once again we have no idea why Ford is finger-pointing at teachers. ETFO’s position on in-person learning remains unchanged! As educators and parents, we firmly believe that in-person instruction in schools provides the best experience for quality learning for students. #onpoli

When there is injustice in our local community or across the globe, we must speak out and act. Anti-Black racism is killing black lives and this must end! #JusticeForRegis #onted #notanotherblacklife

“Our members want to be in school, but this govt has to maintain the stability they want by engaging in good faith bargaining, not by arbitrarily introducing new policies to circumvent our collective bargaining process,” @ETFOpresident . RELEASE #onpoli

We all want to see schools 🏫 reopen this September and that’s only viable with funding. It’s absolutely time @Sflecce acts to inject funding, new money, for supports and safety measures in #onted . Tell the Ford govt to not put students and educators at risk #onpoli

When you move March Break to April for education workers, students and families who well deserve a break, but keep your scheduled time off. Tell us again that you’re for the people. Is that all the people? Or just some of the people?
