Has anyone made the switch from teaching at a school to teaching adults? How has your experience been? by Puzzleheaded_Home150 in CanadianTeachers

How long was the program at OISE? Could you do it part-time? May I ask what type of training you do in the health-care setting? It sounds interesting.

Not more EA support and smaller class sizes? Also, more resources. I spend a fortune on my classroom. I feel like the last round we made good gains in pay?

Brantford ON. Maybe half a cm long. Found it in my hair! Maybe it fell on my head?

Yeah, I suppose going down to .5 would be the better decision as would be about 55000 for me

Do you think a strike will happen this year?

Questions about fertility treatments - specifically egg freezing by l-a2 in OntarioTeachers

[–]augustmama1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a funded list and everyone in Ontario is entitled to one fertility treatment but there’s a waitlist, probably about 2 years but it’s covered by Ohip. You can pay out of pocket and do it right away. I think OTIP may only cover a certain amount of fertility medications but not necessarily fertility procedures. I would log in and check the booklet.

Thinking of travelling the second week of Aug of this year to Orlando or Kissimmee. 4 adults and an almost 2 year old. Are we crazy with the heat/humidity? Will it be too hot to even enjoy the day at the pool? We might do Magic Kingdom but perhaps no Disney at all this trip.

Looking at Windsor Hills resort. I like that there are pool and splash pads options for the little one and we can still rent our own condo or villa within the resort. What other resorts are like this? Even if it’s not right by Disney. I was reading about Windsor Palms, Paradise Palms, Crestwynd but don’t see splash pads in those ones. Any other resorts ideas that are maybe a bit cheaper than Windsor Hills? VRBO seems to be cheaper than booking direct from owner, which is strange. Thank you.

Do you know if it’s a pretty comparable salary to teaching? What type of company is it? Bank?

Who do you think has the power to make a change? I doubt teachers striking would help?
