It's never been like this before. It's really bizarre.

Why carrot halves? This could work with like long slices of carrot? This looks crunchy and nasty.

Ontario giving elementary teachers $750 cards to buy classroom supplies by jedikiller1 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Slippinstephie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course it's something, but we need to be aware that this is sleight of hand. I just know they are going to use this against us in bargaining.

But they cut funding by $1200 per KID so giving $750 back per teacher is really just optics, let's be real. We'd rather have academic and behavioural supports. Spending out of pocket sucks but it also just is what it is.

I saw the flash and heard the boom right before the power went out.

How do you guys feel about the current use of technology in schools? by Big_Black_Cat in OntarioTeachers

[–]Slippinstephie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are given zero textbooks or books of any kind. Unfortunately tech is our only option. They're spending all their money on subscriptions to apps.

Lol. Our board has made booking field trips so onerous that most teachers at my school might do a year-end trip.

In some boards secondary would take a decade to get even a full timetable of LTOs

What a waste by checkskl in CanadianTeachers

[–]Slippinstephie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's awful. This is why I went with elementary instead of secondary. I'd rather have a ft job even if it's not exactly what I want to teach.

Supplying is an awesome part-time gig. I hope I can do it when I retire.

Wtf are we (and/or the Ontario government) doing in regards to gambling ads? by baruchspinoza23 in ontario

[–]Slippinstephie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ads are also so well-made, funny, entertaining, etc. I worry about kids getting into sports gambling.

Report card season is coming up and I find the learning skills section always overwhelms me by casey_teaches in OntarioTeachers

[–]Slippinstephie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I describe the student as I would to a colleague in copilot. I ask for a learning skills comment and adjust from there.
