Before test scores are released, let me just tell you right now: Our schools are on fire. We’ve been asked to do too much with too little for too long. We need time. We need money. We need solutions. If you’re not loudly sounding the alarm, you’re lighting the match.
@heymrsbond huh?..then why is the first thing we hear from Ed Unions is demanding huge pay raises?..oh got it..THAT's the money u need😉
@heymrsbond Last year some teacher “accidentally” left out marking keys for our Provincial exam and kids took pictures and put them on TikTok so… the test data is likely to not be released. Wasted time already becomes more so 🥴
@heymrsbond Two full time aides in every class. And class size topped at 20. Doubling of the amount paid per child by the federal government. A 25% raise for teachers. I don’t have kids in school now, but I’ve felt this way a long time.
@heymrsbond Truth!! We also get pushback from #highered saying we aren’t teaching writing or higher order thinking. Read the room we are being forced to teach to the test, dealing with socio-emotional problems, and 99 million other things on our overloaded plates.
@heymrsbond I am new to my position in special education and we are starting to see the effect of the “throw a body in there and call it good” mentality and it is going to get worse
@heymrsbond We are putting bandaids on wounds that need tourniquets😬
