well ….I know it’s Oakville (Wokeville) but this is outrageous.
Remember your shop teacher ? I bet you learned something about working with your hands and tools. Maybe he got mad and yelled because you and your buddies were fooling around, and that was ok because you deserved it.
This person looks to be all about their agenda.
Yup, that's the stupidity of some of today's "teachers". Not to say the students are any better. When I went to school, you went to school, not spend half the day at the local malls or parks.
It was bound to happen eventually. I wish the Board luck in handling this situation without ending up in court, which is what this teacher wants I'm sure.Quote:

this is unrelated to this current situation regarding the teacher in this thred - I firmly beleive the government is quite content watering down the quality of education being offered - they do not teach critical thinking or hard work anymore - they purposely want everyone just dumb enough to be content watching TikTok all day, not questioning anything the political elites do (debt, forcing green energy and lowering our standard of living, printing money and inflating our costs, etc, etc) why would they want an intelligent and hard working populus who would be smart enough to challenge what all parties and all levels of government have done over the last 20+ years????
Regarding education: the whole system needs an overhaul.

In the west-they said,there is no need for educated populace.
Smart people may dare to think...........
Mockery of the female form, shameful.
What we have here is a desperate plea for attention. This male is clearly mentally ill and parents need to push back en mass if there's any that haven't been gaslit and brainwashed.
Knowing right from wrong is not a phobia.
Why do you say that Meghan? I taught from 1966-2012- special needs kids mostly. The system is much better than it was imo.Quote:

the teacher should be reprimanded for acting in an unsafe manor in a teaching environment
That should be noted on her work ethics record, one more and you're gone.Quote:

My 13 year old daughter told me the other day she was very nervous of being paired with a "furry" for a science project. I honestly believe in letting people do or be what they want but when it affects other students there needs to be something done. I had every intention of calling the principal but was convinced otherwise. The next parent/teacher interview will be interesting.
Had to look up what a "furry" is, why can't people just be normal. I'm glad I'm the age I am, otherwise I'd be looking for an island.Quote:

Just about every class has kids with “safety plans” ….ie kids with behavioural problems that need special arrangements so that other kids don’t get hurt. I don’t begrudge the teachers like I used to as their jobs are getting worse and worse. When the province decided to do away with special education and put the special needs kids into the regular classrooms, it diverts much of the teachers time and NONE of the kids are getting what they need. It’s not all the fault of the education system though, we have some massive failures in PARENTING these days. Kids that live on sugar and bring nothing but sugary food to school…..no wonder they can’t sit still to focus and learn.Quote:

Also implement real-world knowledge on tests if you must, not "Susie Q had a million melons"-nonsense. Teach kids about taxes, and computer coding, and how renting cars and owning mortgages works. I'm not saying that teachers aren't valid: they have my utmost respect and a good teacher makes all the difference. I'm simply saying the system is outdated. The constant tension between provincial funding is also an issue. My university went on three strikes in the time I was pursuing my degree, one of them lasting many months. Post-secondary education should be free; students are an investment in the future of the economy. Also bring back handwriting; fluid movement when writing your thoughts is liberating.Quote:
