Teachers asked for one line. Instead, government refused to include *their own accountability framework* in the teacher contract.
It's clear: This government has no interest in funding public education.

Government's story: Class size/complexity is a local issue, as per @SaskSchoolBoard
Reality: This government stripped SSBA of its power and autonomy. They have no choice but to comply with what government dictates.

We set aside two full days to bargain in good faith with the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee (GTBC).
Today, they didn't even bother to show up.
Our kids deserve better than not showing up.

Love this use of @TwistedSisterNY We're Not Gonna Take It!
Teachers did more respect, more money, and more assets. They are doing some of the most important work in the world!

It's a mess.
Trying to teach like all's good.
But it's a mess.
Back at it today.
Smile on my face.
Hope in my heart (that kids continue to smile back).
Cause once they don't, it'll be too late.
Yep. Things are hard in Ed right now.
We know it.
So, let's do something.

A teacher at my school quit last night after hours. Didn't come today.
Teaching is really really hard.
If we can't value teachers mental health this is just going to keep happening.
I looooove my job but there are definitely aspects that seem insane and unsustainable. – at York, England

SK people deserve these answers:
1. Why are private schools being funded by public taxes?
2. Why are private schools receiving more funding than public schools?
3. Why have schools lost funding year after year despite enrolments going up?
4. Why are parents paying more fees?

@elonmusk have an idea for the Tesla. Instead of running air from outside into the air cab, why not just have a fan pushing the air. and then you could have a way to change the speed giving more or less air to go through the vents. Then you could have a solid plastic cover and
