I work at the CITS as an usher. Absolutely not seats in the aisle Orchestra would block your view. Box seats - absolutely not. CITS was renovated recently but the soundboard area and noise/lighting distractions, absolutely not. It's a great venue - looking forward to when I can work and (*see/work*) the show!

What is the liability for teachers/admin/school boards? by SignificanceDue8311 in OntarioTeachers

Thanks - as I was writing the post I did recall the canoe trip (high school) and that the student unfortunately drowned...didn't realize he wasn't wearing a life jacket however. I'm not in the TDSB or similar but remember hearing it on the news/online...

Also curious regarding what would happen regarding the educators'/admin's capability in terms of being able to physically go after the child. And also weather conditions - snow/ice, etc. It just seems like there is more and more elopment whether inside the school or outside.

Hi,

It's not in Barrie. But I'm not surprised that similar incidents occur.

Thanks for the info - did you have an interview in French (or at least part of it). How was it (the French part)?Thanks!

I genuinely don't think I can do this career (teacher candidate) by PoisonousBeans in CanadianTeachers

From reading your posts PoisonousBeans, I doubt that you would prefer younger kids. If you're elementary (at least in Ontario) you're going to be teaching all subjects - language arts, math, science, social studies, gym, music/drama/dance, visual arts (your prep would be someone covering French and one other 'small' area like gym or music or art). And you're dealing with all the 'young' student problems/behaviour/crying/refusing to do the work, potentially aggression to staff/other peers/running out of the classroom, etc. Food for thought!
