Just to add, all reasons for problems are we need more money and/or more staff. Union reps will out and out tell Government employees that the other party will fire you, or reduce jobs, wages, benefits so make sure you vote liberal.

The union wants more and more employees to pay dues, which means more admin staff, more teachers (should be fewer students per teacher, more special needs staff, assistants etc etc) and no 45 minute classes, should be 44 mins(the 43 to 42 etc), every minute dropped decreases work time, and increases the need for more employees who pay dues. These days about the only group that can afford unions, but doesnt need them are Government workers. They all make more than non Govt workers and its one reason that the civil "servants" make much more on average(40% including benefits, time off and hours worked) and are better treated than their employers(tax payers)

Teachers are very actively political, for Ont libs its easy to get them to campaign for you(McGinty's wife was a teacher), they deal with lots of people, have lots of spare time and you better be nice to them or they will screw even more with your kids. The reality is that its a part time job, factoring in good salary, benefits, job security, sick and PA days, short hours usually close to home. Virtually zero quit, a lazy incompetent teacher might get transferred to a different school. There are also too many administrators.

The customer in the school system is the teacher, the kids usually come last. I know a bunch of teachers, nice people but imo they have it way too easy, short hours, high pay and no chance of being laid off or even fired they tend to be lazy and indifferent to anyone's needs beside themselves.

"An impressive woman"?

How so? Because she married a rich dude and quickly got into parasitic politics?

Was it impressive when she slapped on a hijab to play dress up and curry favor with gta Muslims, but then looked on the brink of tears when the Muslim men still showed their disdain for her dumb ass?
