It looks like the Sask Party govt is pushing something through for education policy without proper consultation with teachers or parents. This govt needs to listen rather than just dictate #Saskatchewan #skpoli #education #Sasked

Saskatchewan’s new oil and gas high school courses are out of step with global climate action

Instead of training high school students for an industry that the world is transitioning away from, we need education on energy alternatives and ways of addressing climate change impacts.

The Sask Party government is going to have to take this seriously. With a provincial election coming this year they'll need to get a better deal on the table sooner rather than later #Saskatchewan #skpoli #sasked #education

When the provincial govt gave itself control over mill rate taxation it created a schism between local communities and their schools. They need to restore this authority to local school divisions #Saskatchewan #education #sasked

Teachers still want to work on a fair agreement for education in our province. Unlike our education minister who keeps pushing ultimatums rather than working on cooperation #sasked #education #Saskatchewan #skpoli https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/teachers-ready-to-get-back-to-bargaining-table-1.7200811

After a full day teaching and supervising a teacher candidate at school, and then going to my second job that I have in order to be able to afford groceries, there's nothing I like better than coming home at 7:30pm to a pile of marking.

Tomorrow, I hope all #Saskatchewan #teachers will join me in responding to the GTBC's garbage final offer with a hearty "piss off."

The Sask Party govt should have closed it down well before this. Even this possible "closing" looks like a rebrand for Legacy Christian Academy to try and hide from what its been involved in #skpoli #Sasked #yxe #Saskatchewan

Love or hate him, that is our freedom to do so.

But, 400,000 school kids in #canada including #sask will now have access to healthy meals which will nourish their bodies and minds.

That's just good policy.
