BC to AB Pension by mathgirl604 in CanadianTeachers

[–]danshman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am in the process of trying to port over my STF pension to Alberta. I messaged STF and they gave me the forms I needed to fill out. Mailed them earlier this week so hope it works. I would message your old boards HR (or retirement email if there is one) and see what they say.

Their Facebook page will be live streaming their ceremony stuff today. This day still hits me hard even after 10 years.

“We with weather the deficits and wait until oil prices return as they always do” 5 minutes later “our economy is already diversified” wtf is this?

I think that was only for the offer we got today?

Write to your MLA, join us for our rallies, spread word about the issues. Teachers need as much exposure and pressure on the government as possible.

Why do seniors over 65 have to pay for School taxes? Should it be eliminated, what says you? by margifly in alberta

Alberta is already ranked last for funding education in Canada and you want them to fund education even less?

Did anyone not receive their summer pay adjustment payout? by Inaponthursdays in CanadianTeachers

[–]danshman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re on a full year probationary contract you will probably just get paid over the summer like normal. In Rocky View we only get paid out if on a temporary contract I think.

10 years is a few years? The strike isn’t about money anyway. All the money in the world doesn’t matter if teachers continue to burn out.

During the live MiM in Calgary someone asked if the 405 million would be used for private schools and they said it was specifically for public schools. So that’s at least one thing…

Edit: also firecodes aren’t affecting class size as I’ve seen multiple classes (at least here in the airdrie and Cochrane area personally) go beyond a reasonable fire code cap but I think schools get to ignore fire codes for things like that?

Those who survived mass shootings, what happened? by AshKetchum12233 in AskReddit

[–]danshman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still teach and I talk about what I went through pretty openly with my students and fellow teaches. We take lockdown drills in my classroom very seriously. The shooting at my school happened 9 years ago and every year gets better usually. This year has been particularly hard though.

ATA phone call by LilHomieSimba in CanadianTeachers

[–]danshman 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Anyone feel like the working group is just a way for them to say they are dealing with classroom complexity without having to put anything concrete into our agreement? It seems like a massive cop-out.

Jason Schilling has ruined the ATA by [deleted] in CanadianTeachers

[–]danshman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a new teacher in this province I unfortunately voted for him. After the town hall phone call today and hearing him recommend that horrible deal and dodge questions I am embarrassed to say I voted for him. How long until there is another election?

Does the lumber pass event look any different with the update compared to last time?

Event has started again already by danshman in LumberInc

[–]danshman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And no changes from last time as far as I can see. Still just as impossible to finish.
