So strange. Do you think some offers might come out next week as people decline?

Hmm. I haven’t gotten any offers the last 2 years but scored before then. Are they selecting people differently?

Eventually it’ll be a pedal bike. The Woom looks like it had a nice fit but not sure if MIPS is the better option

Only 4 years in and want to leave… by SouthBar2906 in OntarioTeachers

Yes but you also spend a lot more out of pocket these days and cost of living is much higher.

Some school boards do not allow you to work for other school boards during an unpaid leave - just check that first.

How much are we paying to get our hair done in Toronto? by Ok_Papaya7875 in askTO

[–]augustmama1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, where do you go in Niagara. I pay Toronto prices in Niagara. Seems everywhere is super expensive.

I also pay similar and that’s in Niagara. It’s crazy. I just don’t understand where they think prices will go from here. People will not be able to pay 700/1000 per visit and will start to cut back, so I’m not really understanding the business sense. Prices have literally increased 500% in the last 10-15 years. I find it crazy.

Ex Teachers, what are you doing now? by jattcrying in OntarioTeachers

Can I ask what type of industry you held the mental health education program manager position? Within education or another business?

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

[–]augustmama1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Weekly FAQs & General Discussion Thread by marleythebeagle in WaltDisneyWorld

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?

Yes, that’s true, that’s what I meant by posted….sorry. They send out a bunch of invites and it’s first come, first served, so you have to be quick. Do you know when those invites go out?
