Who will be sad to see SN go besides shady and mr.canada?

you got that right. most people don't understand education nowadays.

About 8 months ago I started a thread that said sun news was on its last legs. the thread was deleted. now look. i was right all along. bye bye snn. no one will miss you becuase no one watched you.

whatever. you have no idea what 21st century education is. you are a fossil when it comes to educational philosophy.

guys like you are so out of date with your backwards thinking about education. multiplication tables aren't stressed anymore because they are useless. that's what calculators are for. education is about social justice and human rights, and protecting our environment. times tables? what a joke. get in touch with the modern era. times tables are 40s stuff. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/story/2012/07/22/edmonton-schools-multiplication-drills.html

2 months away from graduating with my teaching degree and i am ready to hit the classroom with heavy emphasis on social justice. things ae looking up in ontario. premier wynne realizes the mistakes the liberals made with the teachers and the teachers unions and she is doing the right thing by trying to correct the damage that had be done. i know the teachers i talk to are pleased that wynne has turned things around. i see nothing but reat things for ontario with wynne in control. teachers should be paid more for what they have to put up with. this article expalins why. even the haters might learn a thing or two. http://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorialopinion/2012/02/29/ontario_teachers_deserve_to_be_paid_more.html

quit it with your stupid tin foil hat garbage. i am who i am on this forum. don't like it then leave it.

history is going by the wayside, thankfully, and it is more important to teach sustainable development in social studies classes. we need to teach real history such as the treaties, and every kid in this country should know how the residential schools have and continue to hurt people all because of imperalists.

No I don't. i just tire of the ignorance. i post what of the best articles ever written and all you do is ask a silly question tryin to deflect attention from a great, honest, factual piece of writing. for all the unnecessary garbage teachers have to put up with, maybe people can realize that teachers shape minds and teach critical thinking skills like what this teacher is doing.

Tim, critical thinking is what is needed and you are not showing that you understand that concept. you totally miss the point of the article. that to me is sad but indicitive of the major ignorance of a majority of the population of this country.

there's a difference being taught real history about how a group of people have been abused compared to useless fact based history like your silly question.

i know there is tto much racism in this country and a lot of it is being directed at first nations ignorantly. too many people don't understand thi issue. the author of this article, a teacher, understands it better than any of the uneducated rubes on this forum.

It takes the words of a great teacher, this one in manitoba to tell the truth about the idle no more opposition. we can't let racists have an open forum to spew their garbage. but i guess it does make them look stupid so maybe its not so bad afterall. for all the teacher bashers out there here is a great article written by someone who truly cares. teachers care. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/fyi/gutless-and-illogical-wonders-187569391.html

Actually if you read the user comments around ontario you will realize 97% of the public supports teachers and understand what they do. i am pleased by this with all the negative propaganda against teachers out there. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/story/2012/11/22/ottawa-teachers-school-board.html Again if you read the comments section 97%of the public supports the teachers and unions.

let's hope gerard kennedy becomes the next liberal leader. he looks like he would restore our(teachers) faith in government and give us the right to negotiate. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/education/ontario-liberal-hopefuls-split-over-mcguintys-line-on-teachers/article5360046/

it's too bad the government wouldn't negotiate in good faith. it shouldn't have to come to this. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/ontario-high-school-teachers-set-to-withdraw-services-wednesday/article4902786/

here is the actual link to the article. it is poorly written and focuses on a few isolated situations. a arbage article. see for yourself. http://www2.macleans.ca/2012/10/31/why-are-schools-brainwashing-our-children/

you didn't answer my question. what kind of brainwashing were your kids exposed to?

And what kind of phony brainwashing did your kids endure? Or are you just making stuff up to be dramatic? But i do see that you sent your kid to public school because you know it is the best system in the country.

why do you fall for false sensationalsim?

ok. but don't make stuff up. the bctf was trying to introduce lessons that made students environmentall aware and told them about the ills of the pipeline. let's not make stuff up.

teaching kids to respect the environment is wrong> come on.
